Tampa Bay Brewing Company in Ybor City offers a wide variety of options across both food and beer,…read moremaking it a solid stop for groups with different tastes. We sampled the local Reef Donkey brew, which definitely lived up to the hype--smooth, flavorful, and well balanced. A great choice if you're new to their beer lineup. We started with the hot pretzel served with queso and mustard. It came out warm, soft, and perfectly salted--ideal for sharing and easily one of the highlights of the visit. The pizza was generously topped and very cheesy, which we appreciated, though the quality of the sausage could use some improvement to better match the rest of the ingredients. We also tried the hot chicken tenders with hot honey drizzle. Flavor-wise, they were decent, but the portion size felt closer to boneless wings than tenders. The fries were hot and crispy, but overall the chicken itself could benefit from a crispier exterior. Worth noting for future guests: the Red Eye cider buffalo sauce comes with a $1 upcharge. Overall, this is a fun spot with a strong beer program and solid starters. Hoping to return in about six months to see improvements and refinements to the food offerings, as the potential here is definitely there.

Normally, I would be a bad monkey fan. But apparently the bartenders have turned over because…read morewhoever the blonde Bartender was working on Sunday night 7/12 was more concerned about getting out of work then actually taking care people. I asked for my check and while I was in the restroom, she cleared my drink and left my check. When I mentioned that I was going to finish that drink she said oh sorry I thought it was a water I can get you another drink, but I don't want another drink. I just wanted to finish the one that I had. I guess I'm just used to a kind and more chatty set of bartenders at the bad monkey.

Sometimes when you walk into a place you go "YES, this just has IT". IT being all the feels and vibes Danielle Vergnaud-McKinnon and Matthew McKinnon opened Sky Puppy in September of 2024 in the Historic 1888 Casa Bomberos firehouse, which was Tampa's original firehouse. Matthew brews their fantastic beers and Danielle designed Sky Puppy and runs operations. It's absolutely stunning. Historically, Ybor City is known as the Cigar Capital of the world. When the Sanchez y Haya Building in Ybor City was abandoned, thousands of bats took over! So it's known for Cigars and Bats... or.. Sky Puppies The taproom is stunning. Beautiful backsplash in the tap/bar area, sleek designs and tables but keeping the classic original brick of the fire station. Beautifully done sculptures of bats are from @coppertritscheller can be found all over. @pedals.and.pintglasses got to hang out and enjoy the aura and beers! A huge thank you to @sideofbeermn for recommending this one to me. A new favorite! Sky Puppy has received multiple awards in their short time as a brewery! It's a must visit!!

Huge parking lot nearby. Beers are the best in Florida. Hands down. We've tried hundreds of Florida beers. Sky puppy is just different. If you're into beer- pop in, you won't be disappointed. WE LOVE YOUUUUU SKY PUPPY!!!!!

Okay, maybe next time!? I'm not sure how you know about when something like that is there. The inside is a nice size and the outside is as well.

Though they didn't serve flights, they did offer smaller pours which is just as good in my book and maybe even better.

If you are a beer drinker, this definitely is the spot for you as they have a plethora of craft beers both on draught and in bottles. We don't drink but did enjoy a craft root beer from Abita that was quite good! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very pleasant and swift. I had the fish tacos which were really nice and were served with tortilla chips and a side of salsa. Pretty good lunch fare but if I ordered this for dinner, a third taco would have done the trick. The bathroom was another story. It was fifty and the odor was rough and the toilet was actually missing the top of it. It was the kind of spot that would make the heartiest of sailors blush. Would definitely check out this spot again for a good, quick bite.
