Ybor City's only brewpub dispenses handcrafted microbrews to modern-day draft animals in a restored 100-year-old horse stable. Tampa Bay Brewing Company attracts singles, sports fans and beer connoisseurs, plus couples seeking the second-floor patio. Many menu items reflect a dunking in the suds, such as the Drunken Shrimp. Try the blue crab cakes topped with honey-porter fruit salsa and coconut, or the addictive Burning Wings of Fire.

But most folks come for the burgers, a legend in their own time. The 15th Street burger is topped with smoked gouda, plus a hefty dose of BLT. Seminole Heights is a blackened burger with jalapenos, cheddar and sour cream. The Chef's Choice adds goat cheese and the Rough Rider gets a kick from chili verde. There's also a touch of pub grub here: Try the Ploughman's cheese and meat platter, or shepherd's pie. In addition, the menu dishes out veggie pasta dishes and pizza, but one burger makes converts of all comers. -- Tracey E. Meloni

  • Best Brew Pub in region

    Review rating : 5out of 5   Urcannonfodder - 10/07/2008

    This is truly one on the best places to get a micro brew and to top it off the food is FANTASTIC. You get the best of both worlds. I love to both and and drink here. They always have seasonal beers brewed by Tampa Bay Brewing as well as their most popular beers year round. It's hard to find a better place for beer lovers.

  • the new location

    Review rating : 4out of 5   tamparich63 - 07/01/2007

    Tampa Bay Brewing Company is now firmly entrenched in the new location in Centro Ybor and the move has done nothing to the quality of te food and beer. They are now up to full brewing capacity and the outside beer garden is great people watching and the bartender outside ( Jessie I believe ) sets a wonderful atmosphere with the music selection. One of my only complaints was the sodas which my kids regularly returned but I I found out that they are changing to COKE products in the near future. Also they are putting misting fans on the outside patio. PERFECT!!

  • Well ....

    While I like this place they haven't been brewing to my knowledge for quite a while. Guess the editors don't go there much. They are moving. Nice beer club to join.

    Love this place. Beers are great with seasonal offerings. Great atmosphere and a great menue. Also Dean the bartender made our experience memorable. I plan on visiting often.

  • Pizza lovers come here!

    If you're looking for a really great, very "California like" pizza - this is the place to go. The beer rocks too. Upstairs, after 5:30 pm, check out the dining area that includes a fully stocked bar, tv's, pool, darts, bathrooms, and a balcony for the smokers.

  • Food?? Let's talk Beer!

    I check out microbreweries wherever I travel, & at any given one, I'm lucky to find a single beer that is worth remembering. At Tampa Bay Brewing Co., I've had at least four that were excellent. Microbrews not your thing? They also have a line of hard to find commercial brews (like Chimay), that are also wonderful but are rarely found on tap. My wife and I visit from Chicago a couple of times a year and make sure to visit every time we're in Tampa.

  • POP BOY RK's Review

    Review rating : 5out of 5   popboyrk - 03/28/2003

    In the heart of YBOR CITY, not only great beers and service, last week I had Tabasco-Stout Honey Glazed Salmon with great veggies and garlic potatoes. My partner had Prime Rib he said is "out of this world." Mango-Porter salsa and grilled veggies. WONDERFUL quality, certainly NOT something one would expect in a brew-pub. We live in Orlando and get to Tampa several times a year. This will continue to be a favorite for lunch, dinner... and beer.
