Had a great time with me n my girls for a birthday party! Drinks were great prices, cover was free before 10:30, and they had 1$ drinks! Spence was our bartender and was wonderful! Super funny, great energy, very attentive and remembered our drinks all night! He even bought my friend a shot for her birthday and let us borrow a selfie ring light for our phones to take pics with!Very very fun! Thanks for a great time! We will DEFINITELY be back!

We Love this place. A little bit of a commute for us but well worth it for a night of nostalgia. It brings us back to the romping grounds of our youth. Great music, amazing staff, always a fun night.

I LOVE The Honey Pot. My friends and I visited during St. Pete Pride weekend and had the time of our lives. The line to get in was very long, but it was well worth the wait. We met so many great people and the staff was flamboyantly amazing. I would recommend this club to anyone. It was clean and I never felt unsafe (which is very important in todays day and age). Go here for an amazing time!

They make you pay for cups of tap water pretty ridiculous. Too much security with nothing to do besides bumping into you and your friends when theres plenty of space.

I really didn’t like the place. I just giving 2 stars because people were cool. The place inside is horrible. The music quality it sucks too. They play too much hip hop and for me is very annoying too much of it. The place is listed on google as a gay club, but it isn’t gay. It is a mixed place with crazy people. I will not recommended.

Amazinggggggg place!My first time going there I didnt expect much but man did this place blow away my expectations!!! Bartenders are super friendly & great mix of music, needs a little more representation of the Latin community (music) and the security guards are a little rude but hey they have to deal with drunk people so I understand . The energy there is nothing but positivity and you truly let go and have fun and never be bored, you will not be disappointed.

I absolutely LOVED this club! I went with my best friend on 4/28/18, and we arrived at 10 PM, the line was already forming around the building. It was my first time going to a lesbian club, so I didnt know what I was getting myself into! Lesbian Night Tease Saturdays was AMAZING! I will be, of course returning soon!

Ratchet Level: MediumCover Charge: $5 (cash only)Music: Hip-Hop/Rap/Pop/EDMThis weekend was randomly Tampa, Florida’s pride. It seems a little early in the season, but the weather is perfect so it doesn’t really matter. I was invited on this trip last minute so I didn’t have time to do research and schedule a review. Downtown Tampa has a main strip of clubs and bars. There are honestly at least 5 other LGBT establishments in the same mainstream area that gives you a diverse crowd. I missed the pride parade and arrived downtown around 11pm. The line for this club wrapped around the block. No other venue had this many people. Most of the other gay bars and clubs were damn near empty. The crowd either went here or to a straight club with decent music. The line was too long for my liking so I ended up coming back around 1:30am. The line was much shorter. While waiting in line a group of gays was arguing and trying to fight someone inside the club who was in the upstairs balcony. “How are you hating from outside of the club? You can’t even get in!” Security outside just ignored them and focused on checking IDs and providing wristbands. There is also a large amount of police downtown patrolling. Regardless it’s my time to go in to find out it is cash only with no ATM. The cashier was very rude about it. We waited in the foyer while a friend of mine ran to the ATM. Once you pass this part through double doors you’re right in the party. The venue is a huge open space with a DJ on the far right corner and two bars on the left and front. Majority of the club is a dance floor with platforms to dance. There was a mix of go-go dancers and just drunk people on stage feeing their beat. The DJ was actually mixing music and controlling the crowd with a mixture of tracks. Drinks were cheap; only $5 and they accepted card. Nothing special I just Got a vodka&cranberry. The place was extremely packed. It seems well kept and modern with unique light fixtures. I didn’t get a chance to go upstairs because I was busy dancing. There was trash all over the floor to include condoms, cups, tissue, and everything else in between. The crowd was a little too packed to have someone come though and clean but geez. I was constantly stepping on things. Security had constant patrols around the club and were rudely pushing though people. I got knocked by them a couple of times. I recommend just having an overlook. It’s not good to keep rudely pushing through a crowd of drunk people like a corn field. The crowd was very diverse from drunk gays to drunk girls of all shapes, colors, and sizes. No one was really dressed up. There were a couple of straight guys sprinkled in between to attempt to hit on girls. Overall I had an amazing time here. I would love to return on a normal weekend and see the normal crowd and explore the entire venue. Your favorite club critic Shamel Jones.

I went to Honeypot last Saturday on lesbian night to finish off date night with my girlfriend in a comfortable gay friendly environment. Our evening turned really terrible when my girlfriend was harassed by a group of men hanging out by the bathroom. They called her and another good friend of ours dykes and variety of other names while she attempted to have a conversation with her. As she continued to attempt to have her conversation, she was then shoved multiple times by one of the men. As she attempted to get him off of her, it turns out one of the bouncers there was friends with this group of men and was PARTICIPATING in the hate talk to my girlfriend and our friend. When she tried to get the man off of her, the bouncer stepped in, put her in a headlock and DRAGGED her out of the bar by her neck in one arm, and her face covered with the other. She was literally dragged out by her head. There was no warning to leave, no get out now, he just wrapped his hands around her and assaulted her.We went to honeypot to dance in a judge free environment, and yet one of its employees sits with his friends and as they all make homophobic slurs to its patrons and then kicks them out when they have a problem with it.I have been a loyal Honey Pot patron for 10 years now, and unless there is some sort of change, I can guarantee I will never be back there again. I can also guarantee that this issue will get much worse if they dont do something about it.

I love the vibe and all of that but their new policy on frisking the men and not women is a little bit alarming. My roommate could have snuck in a handgun very easily.

Love this place, Im straight but I go with my LGBT friends and we always have a good time, everyone has a good vibe and cheers everyone on to have fun. Mostly what I like is that the straight guys that do try to pick me up are more respectful than the crowd in amp, and it help my friend get a boy he caN go home with XD
