50 Best Bars near Temple Terrace

“On our way to Bush Gardens from Orlando, we just happened to find Uncle Fats Tavern. We loved their Wednesday wing special in honey BBQ sauce, Philly cheese steak sandwich, fried clam strips, onion rings and three delicious large iced tea, for under $50.00. Everything was good and flavorful. We went back two days later with relatives, to try other items on their menu. For starters we had their delicious potato skins, fried pickles and jalapeño poppers combo. For dinner the seafood platter, Buffalo chicken sandwich, pastrami on rye sandwich and of course more chicken wings, again everything was delicious. The place is clean,the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. Lyndsay our server was great and very friendly, a 10 out of 10 for her.Parking: Small plaza, but plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Children friendly atmosphere during the daytime.Wheelchair accessibility: One level, no stairs.“

“Listen, the wangs are magnificent and might be dusted with Crack lmao. I'm just kidding. I get mine dry lemon pepper style! Yes, goodness! It's one of my favorite spots when it comes to the wangs! Don't take my word for it. Go get you some...Parking: It's just a little tight lol but you'll find one...“

“Great spot for business dinners or date nights. Truthfully I was drawn in by the building because it looks so intriguing from the outside and I was just as impressed once we were inside. It isn’t too loud in there so if going for business or on a date night you can converse without having to strain to hear one another. The staff were all friendly and attentive. ??The preparation and presentation fully reflected the care that’s put into curating the Olivia experience.We had filet mignon, scallops, mushroom risotto, pasta, tomato and burrata, charcuterie, and the MUST HAVE garlic bread and enjoyed all of it! I imagine their cocktails must be good if you’re going for drinks because our non-alcohol cocktails were delicious (*this is a big plus for us because we don’t consume alcohol but we do love flavorful beverages when we’re dining*). ?“

“First time visiting here for a bridal shower and it was absolutely gorgeous! The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a unique vibe. We had a bridal shower brunch and they accommodated our party easily. The table was decorated so cute, along with custom “she said yes” menus that each guest got to order from! I had the French toast for brunch and it was a delicious, although a little sweet for my taste (I’m team savory for brunch always). Drinks were good, along with their craft sodas which were delicious! Would definitely recommend in the future and will be back for other meals!“

“Super tasty pizza and SO many options! You are SURE to find something you like here. I am not a pizza lover and really enjoyed lunch here. I got the buffalo chicken slice. It was the perfect size for lunch. The crust was so tasty and all the flavors were perfection. Customer service was top notch and so friendly! Will definitely come back when visiting Tampa“

“Well done. My husband took me here for appetizers before my bday dinner. Enjoyed the service, atmosphere, white and Spainish wine flights and chef bread board.I'm impressed by the lactose free cheese options and beef vs pork options for the board.Breads were fresh and tasty.I'm be back for the deserts.“

“I remember when this business was Chop Chop Shop, further up in Florida ave. It was dangerous living so close. Ever since the relocation/rebrand they have expanded their menu and made the ambience unbelievably awesome! I've gotten takeout and dined in. Love their rice bowls and their pancakes. Such a nice spot. The wait is never more than ~5-8 minutes. The tablets you order off of make it really hard to choose what you want because all the pictures look so good!“

“Update 4/15/24Had the trio to start. Then has the fajita chicken bowl with cilantro lime rice. And the other with added steak and Mexican rice. They both were very good!I had a variety of 3 crunchy tacos, beans and rice and a margarita. I enjoyed it all! I'll definitely be back.“

“Armature Rex is a great location to stop by and grab something to eat or something to drink. Is a great spot to meet friends or even bring the family out. I enjoy walking the Riverwalk and grabbing a drink from Walmart with your work and then continuing along my workout. The empanadas is great as well as the other restaurants.“

“Noel ( i think im spelling it wrong ) is a FANTASTIC server ! we came on a Tuesday night , not too busy , not too slow. Great service from the server and who i assume to be the manager. She came to our table twice to check on us , and that just tells me the management cares about customer satisfaction! we will definitely be coming back and requesting Miss Noel. <3 ( our tattoo triplet )“

“I've stopped there in numerous occasions for a pint found the service and beer above average. Located in a former gas station on Florida avenue it has that feel if the people back in the day could talked to you they share some great stories it has the homey vibe to it . But been there twice in two weeks to check out the menu and the beer again after a brief hiatus. Found the beer to be crisp and fresh the service a little more attentive and the food great for any of the beers. Pretzels were bang on with the mustard and the beer cheese . Had" The Rob " roast beef on weck and the horseradish sauce was fire. I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu if I leave the beers alone for room to taste the rest of the culinary bites.“

“An esthetically beautiful place with stylish interior, good quality service, an acceptable, but not outstanding food. First disappointment was when I was greeted by one of hostesses who did not smile or made me feel welcome. She also provided lunch menus instead of brunch menus as it seemed that doing her job was a bother to her. Luckily, our server, Frankie, was great, and he made sure we got the attention we needed. He described Predalina as a Seafood-Driven Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant, explained in details various menu items, and made some food recommendations. However, when one of my friends received her Crab Benedict, lump crab patty was extremely dry / overcooked and poached eggs that are usually the star of any eggs Benedict, to our great disappointment, looked more like hard-boiled eggs. Manager stopped by the table to take the benedict back to substitute for an omelet. Myself and my other friend ordered an omelet each also, I just added avocado to mine. I'd give this omelet 4.5 stars. It came with a side salad + roasted tomato, spinach, onion, feta, chive inside the omelet, crispy potato, and a toasted sourdough on a side - which was so delish! My hazelnut latte was 3/5 only because hazelnut syrup tasted artificially, but both of my friends really enjoyed their decaf latte as well as lavender chai latte. One more thing I would like to mention is that it was very cold inside. *Parking: you can park at $4 per hour at E. Cumberland Avenue parking garage with plenty of space available or use a valet for $30+. I look forward to trying this place for dinner. Hoping for a 5-star experience next time.“

“Love this place, we have been here for a few years and it’s unbelievably amazing!! Their food is beyond GREAT….things I would never ask for (corn for an example ?) I more than love it there, corn was always eh it’s in my teeth, so I would never order it, this, place it is beyond amazing!! That’s not just corn!! The Chef is incredible….no doubt, every time we come, my Husband typically gets one of the new things on the menu!! Absolutely worth going to, hands down!!! My son says, it’s worth every penny!!Parking: Huge parking lot!! Right next to stores on either side!!Kid-friendliness: My kids come every time and we love it!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Flat floors and more accessible either way!!“

“We had family in town and made reservations for 5 for 230 pm on last Friday the 26th of April. They have tons of parking and outside the building looks good. As soon as you walk in you see the pizza oven, the open chargrill cooking area, and the pizza prep area. When you walk in the aromas of fresh food cooking, garlic, and smoky grills are absolutely amazing.The inside is spotlessly clean, with beautiful imported ceramic décor and plenty of tables and booths. The bathrooms are the nicest I have seen and very clean. We were seated immediately and our waiter Jacob was prompt and flawless throughout the dinner.I have dined at restaurants all up and down the East coast, the Keys, and Cali. I ordered Nanas' meatballs for an appetizer and they were so very good. The sauce was also very good. For my entre I ordered the charred sea bass, and it was a home run. THE BEST fish I ever ate and I'm in my 50's, so that says a lot.EVERYONE at the table was so happy with the food they received! Top shelf service, very clean, nice ambiance, reasonable prices, and fresh, delicious food! What more could someone ask for?Thank you Casa Santo Stefano for making our visit special and memorable! You guys are the best and we will return when in Tampa. Cheers!!!“

“My new favorite restaurant! After living in Japan for four years I can vouch for the authenticity of the food. It's affordable and delicious!!!Vegetarian options: No need for meat. There was more than enough veggies to fill you up and you can even switch out the soup bases. The curry base with the veggies was delicious!“

“We were looking for a place to meet a few friends. We decided to try Coppertail Brewing Company. We are glad we did. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice day. One of the couples brought their dog. There were actually quite a few dogs there and the staff offer them bowls of water. They are very dog friendly. The staff was very friendly and the service was efficient. We arrived early and parked ourselves. They do have valet parking as well. There is a very good selection of beers and they offer some ciders and wine as well. We also enjoyed a couple of appetizers and sandwiches. Everything was delicious. I am looking forward to going back.“

“C.1949 is a fantastic local establishment. The staff is friendly and helpful, makes everyone feel like they belong there. Everyone seems to pick up that neighborly vibe..and the options of beers on tap is great. Always some locals, some new and some unusual but always well brewed and poured up. They have fun events, karaoke and goat yoga are 2 that come to mind. I can’t say enough about how nice it is to have a local, fun, neighborhood watering hole to be able to walk or bike too.“

“It’s a neat experience cooking your own food at the table and the food was delicious. The mushrooms were wonderful and a large portion. We had to ask for a larger plate because there was not enough room on the very small plate the baked potato came. The food is very hot- somewhere to put the mushroom on to cool off would be nice. Our waitress was pretty good but never came back to check if we needed drink refills until she asked if we needed dessert. We will still try it again sometime!“

“The bartender Lindsey was super cool and informative. She let me sample two of the moonshines and I really liked their Sunset recipe. Not only was the moonshine good, she whipped up a pumpkin spice espresso martini which was so delicious! Would come back again for that level of service.“

“Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend an ear to this salty sea dog's tale of a culinary adventure that'll make yer taste buds dance a jig. I've sailed the seven seas, braved treacherous storms, and battled scurvy-ridden scallywags, but never have I encountered a bounty as bountiful as Maggiano's.'Twas me first time settin' foot on this fabled establishment's hallowed grounds, and let me tell ye, it left me as giddy as a landlubber after a bottle o' rum. The atmosphere, me mates, was as welcoming as a safe harbor after a long voyage, with a crew of attentive staff that tended to our every need, like a well-oiled ship's rigging.And the grub? Aye, 'twas a feast fit for a king's ransom! From the moment the first morsel graced me tongue, I knew I'd found a treasure trove of flavors that would make even the saltiest of pirates weep tears of joy. Each bite was a symphony of deliciousness, like a siren's song luring me deeper into a world of culinary bliss.But what really made this voyage unforgettable was the guidance of our trusty first mate, Danny. This scallywag knew the menu like a seasoned navigator knows the stars, and his recommendations were as spot-on as a well-aimed cannonball. He regaled us with tales of Maggiano's storied history, like a grizzled old salt spinning yarns of high-seas hijinks.So, heed me words, ye landlubbers and seafarers alike! If ye be seekin' a culinary odyssey that'll leave yer belly full and yer heart content, set yer course for Maggiano's. Ye won't be disappointed, or may the kraken drag me to Davy Jones' locker!“

“Doc B's is easily one of my favorite places for a quick dinner, especially for their salads. They have a good variety of different kinds and the portions are huge! I always end up taking some to go. If you pop in for lunch I suggest trying one of their wok bowls that you can customize. Even on busier days you never have to wait long to be served. Doc B's has a vibe for everyone: outdoor seating in the sunshine, intimate dining inside, and a bartop that always has sports on rotation.“

“By far the best spot in Tampa. Retro arcade and pinball machines, Mario Kart at the bar, wonderful hospitality, always an amazing crowd. Shoutout to all of their staff for always doing such an amazing job - especially Will and Emma! Easily a favorite spot of myself and many of my friends. If you are looking for a place full of good vibes, good people and wonderful hospitality and games - The Parcade is THE place to visit in Tampa!“

“Very busy but got seated promptly. Ambiance was nice. Inside and outdoor seating. TVs everywhere for the sports fanatics. Long list of beers and cocktails. Food menu pretty diverse. However I didn't really enjoy my food. My appetizer was off and my main course of the chicken avocado sandwich with Parmesan truffle fries was extremely salty. I got the smoked bourbon drink which was good. I didnt get a pic of my dishes because I was so excited to eat them but was disappointed“

“You know the food is good when it tastes delicious cold. I couldn't finish it, but both my guest and I had the steak filet sandwich. He said it was the best sandwich he's ever had and it was definitely in my top 3. Super cute efficient server. Nice open atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Great place! Buddy and I went out for drinks last night. We typically bar hop very sporadically, but we found ourselves hanging out there for a few hours. Staff was outstanding, fun, and made our night interesting in the best possible way. Definitely the best bar in Soho.“

“Went to shuffle for the first time with a couple friends had a great time. The service was very attentive even as they were super busy. They were very friendly and have a great selection of alcohol and their food is on point. They took time to explain how to play shuffleboard and we had a great time. Great atmosphere for anyone. The manager Cameron and owner Jen were super helpful with our questions and took the time to help me figure an issue out. Great customer service and product. I recommend if you haven’t already to go check it out get your shuffle on.“

“Wow! GREAT decor.. excellent setup and fantastic drink menu! The vibe is phenomenal and there’s plenty of little niches to sit and enjoy a cocktail or intimate moment… come check out artist night the 2nd Thursdays and shop with local artists and vendors!!“

“We enjoyed the entire experience. Our server was outstanding and the food is amazing. We had drinks and appetizers with music playing it made our meal experience fun. The chicken shawarma which our server recommended was out of this world with garlic spread. We will be back when in town again.“

“The food was fantastic! We loved all of it! The service was great sometimes a little slow but there were only two servers for the whole place. Very cute place and the owner was so sweet and kind. We loved the live music that preforming too! Andy B was great!!“

“My wife and I were traveling and we were staying at a hotel nearby, we saw good reviews on line and gave it a whirl. This place is awesome, service, quality of food and price value is spot on. The tableside guacamole was by far the best I have ever had. Try Besito's you won't be disappointed.“

“This place is awesome! It's a bar with an enclosed dog park attached. The beers are good and the employees are great, they even remembered our dog's name ? the food is hit or miss since it's a different food truck every time we've been there, but everything else is always great.For the dogs there's a large open area inside the bar, as well as an even larger outside turf area. The entire outside area is enclosed just like your average dog park but they also have hoses and basins and even a mini splash park so they can play in water! The best part is all dogs have to be fully vaccinated so you don't have to worry about your dog contracting something randomly just from coming here.“

“This place is awesome! They have excellent happy hour specials and their wings are some of the best in town. Try the mix sauce! Servers are always prompt and professional. Great atmosphere to watch any game. My wife and I have been a dozen times and each time was a great experience. Highly recommend.“

“First time there and was pleasantly surprised. The waitress was very pleasant and "Johnny on the spot" with waters followed by our drink choices. Our sandwiches came out promptly and nice and hot. They were very good! Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.“

“Great dive bar with amazing people! No, they don't have any of those fancy beers but they do have Randolf and Ketta out there grilling up some amazing meat and macaronni salad! The bartender Kim made is immediately feel like family, and the regulars quickly included us into their conversation.“

“The most incredible place to hang out with friends and your furry bff!! Our adoptable dogs had a fantastic time meeting new people, while our humans drank beer and watched sports!! Best of the absolute best!! Dogs. Adult beverages. And did I mention dogs?!?! Absolutely perfect atmosphere!!!“

“The kratom is so unique( I’ve been to about 30-40 kava bars) , tasty and clean. Great environment games, pool lounge. The owner is awesome! He made us feel like family, even sat and played a game of risk with us we had a blast! A must visit every time I’m in Florida.“

“I had lunch with my daughter today. Food was excellent. We both had gyros she had the Greek fries which were out of this world. I had the tabouli which was perfect and we had hummus for an appetizer. Very creamy and delicious. Highly recommend this place. very clean inside very friendly staff Will definitely be back“

“Great place for outdoor dinner, drinks, and live music! It has such a great atmosphere whether you're in the biergarten, inside the bar, or in the music hall. The staff is great, and the entertainment is so varied from great bands, science and humanities talks, comedians on open mic night, ukulele festivals, heavy metal vjs, and the list goes on. I couldn't do it better myself!Vegetarian options: Nice selection of vegetarian and vegan options, including pizzas with a tasty black bean sauce. They have some interesting toppings as well, including mushroom "chorizo," capers, pickled onions, roasted cauliflower, as well as the more usual favorites. They also have vindaloo veggie curry hot pockets and veggie lettuce wraps that I need to try.“

“Best ramen shop in town, no competition. We usually get the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen, Pork Chasu Rice Bowl, Pork Gyoza, and Takoyaki. Wonderful options, service is the best, owners and staff are great to talk to. Atmosphere is excellent, especially during non-rush hours when you can sit back and chill out, enjoy some Lo-Fi on the right side of the restaurant or anime on the left.“

“Happy hour is where it's at!! Regular prices are a bit much, but you can't beat a $4 well or $5 draft! Chill vibe, seemed like a nice place for locals and also for those like us, who came from out of town to see a show at the Ritz! Staff was super attentive, checking in multiple times to make sure we didn't need a new drink or want to order food. Around 5:30 things get a little dark and moody. The staff shut the lights out put or candle to get ready for the night life. Cute and subtle switch up, but it makes a big difference. We didn't order food personally, but the smells were smellin' in the best of ways! The table in front of us had two women, one ordered some kind of salad and the other ordered nachos. The nachos looked amazing and I did notice that the woman eating them did not finish the bowl, so they definitely could have been shared. If we end up here again the Nachos will be at the top of our list!“

“This place is awesome! They have excellent happy hour specials and their wings are some of the best in town. Try the mix sauce! Servers are always prompt and professional. Great atmosphere to watch any game. My wife and I have been a dozen times and each time was a great experience. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely loved the experience and atmosphere! It's the perfect spot for quality time with family and friends. Moreover, it's an excellent hub for creative inspiration and a productive haven – like a home away from home. You won't want to miss out on this gem!“

“The chef who made my steak today deserves a raise. Every single bite of my 16 oz strip was orgazmic. Perfectly charred, perfect temperature. The crusted Gorgonzola was perfection too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better steak. Thank you for that experience Mr “

“Was drawn in from across the street by the atmosphere and decor and stayed for the enthusiastic and extensive craft beer selection. The owner’s passion for his curated menu of beers is contagious and we had a great time. If you’re in Ybor City and love good beer, this place is worth a visit!“

“This was our 3rd visit to Tapper Pub since the reopening. Never was a patron because of the smoking inside. No more though! We have enjoyed the visits and the food has been excellent! Pastrami, corned beef sandwiches have been excellent!! They have enough outdoor tables that even if you come upon a smoking customer, there are enough tables to separate from that! Bring your pup for Outdoor only though! Tabitha( day time bartender) hope I got that correct, is super nice and they have cold beer/wine but today are beginning to get the draft beer installed!! Give them a try in the Britton Plaza shopping area next to Publix!“

“First time at Oxford Exchange. Very good prompt, courteous and friendly service. The food was also very good. I would consider this to be more of an upscale restaurant but yet still has a casual feel. I would definitely recommend the Oxford Exchange.“

“Great venue to view the Water Works/ Armature Works area. Got there at 12pm and the only food option was their Brunch menu. Not a lot of opinions for a hungry diner. Our waitress (I wish I had gotten her name) was very pleasant and and accommodating. She was able to rustle up a salad for me which there were NO salad options on the menu. Next time I visit MBird it will be after 4pm when they have the full menu available.“

“We went here while visiting the aquarium. The food was excellent with very large portions. My kids got the tenders with fries, while my wife got the burger and I the grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious and the servers were very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend if you are in the Tampa area.“

“Anchor and Brine. This place is amazing! The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience. We came for the beer and stayed for the vuban sandwich. Mayhem Approved ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I can’t rate the food, however the cocktails were great and different. A little high on the price but I would recommend. Music was good, although I prefer live music. If you don’t like people smoking next 2 u, this is not your place.“
