The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. The pizza felt a little like a frozen pizza that you might get at a bowling alley. The Buffalo chicken dip was better, but still fairly greasy. Hard to find actual chicken in it. The pretzel bites were ok. Tiny side of cheese sauce for dipping.The thing that concerned me was the service. Everyone was very nice. I emphasize that because its important. I just feel like there was no structure. Everyone taking care of us was constantly saying that they thought the other person was helping us. We would have likely stayed longer and had a few more beers, but left because we were over tracking someone down. It seemed like the people at the actual bar got plenty of attention. It was a Monday night. Not slow, but certainly not busy. I might go again, but will definitely have a plan B in place if things start off the same again.

Last night was the first time going to The Parlor. I didnt know they had a side room that you can rent for events. My friend had her birthday there with about 50 people. There was a private bartender and we could pay our own music. The main bar (which is 10 steps away from the room we were at) has a PHOTO BOOTH!! They email the photos and print them out :)

Loved the ambiance and crowd. Had fun time with friends and have only positive experiences. The bar staff were great and on their toes to complete their orders no time. Definite recommendation for night owls and frequent fliers :-) . Cheers!

Really nice and chill atmosphere. Theyve got Mario Kart on the outside tv, and the bartenders were pretty nice. They serve White Claw here so an instant go for me

Review №13

Handed the bartender $22 for a $10 drink. He put it in his register and intentionally did not look back at me. Once he looked at me I asked him if we were going to have a problem and he acted as if he thought I was giving him a $12 tip. Bro, if you actually thought that, you would have been thanking me for an hour because you obviously don’t get tipped over $0.50. Come here if you like to deal with a thieving bartender.

Since they hired a new kitchen manager the wings are amazing! I mean better than Hattricks, better than Hooters, best in Tampa. The staff, especially Britany, are extremely warm and welcoming as well. For a fun night and amazing wings, come here.

The bartenders and servers are quick and hard-working. I was here during a private event that got overbooked, so the staff was slammed, but they got through all the orders in a timely manner. Although the kitchen got backed up, I commend the cooks for dishing out so many meals in a considerably short amount of time. I love this place, but I wish it were bigger!

Poor menu, poor service. Had to ask to have our table cleaned. We had to ask for a menu and then was given a limited Game Day menu. Server was also once if 4 bartenders and seemed annoyed we werent coming to the bar to order. We still had to come to the bar to get her attention.

One of the better bars to visit on the weekends. Doesnt get too crowded and they have plenty of outside seating. They even brought out Jenga for people to play and their drinks are average in price compared to everything around them.

This place was pretty cool and the staff was great. They literally have the best wings I have ever had!!!! I dont know what they marinate them in but I doubt I will ever have any wings better than those ever. If you like wings you have to try them. If you dont like wings you will like these. THE BEST WINGS EVER!!!!

The staff is incredibly rude. i asked for a drink and i took more than 2 seconds and they ignored me and went to the next person. As i was leaving, i ask the bouncer a quick question and he, in a very rude manner, tells me he tells me he’s very busy and can’t talk. when there wasn’t anyone talking to him. music was extremely bad, only unknown reggae music. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. may 3, 2019, 10:30 PM

Great, big portion sizes, which I loved, and the food looked pretty good and tasted great, but it didnt seem extremely healthy. I got pizza and doughnuts. The pizza was a good, large size, and many donuts were included with a good, tasty dipping sauce. Two thumbs up to the pizza, donuts, & dipping sauce.

Review №44

It never exactly feels like the cleanest place. But its gotten a lot better recently due to having a relatively smaller crowd. Oh yeah, shout-out to the brotard who still managed to bump my drink-holding arm: You realize there was so much more room to walkstumble around right? That wasnt the mens restroom anyway, that was the womens. That means I was never even in your path to begin with. I remember your cretin-esque face. Ill find you one day. Until then, heed my passive-aggressive review.

Good beer selection. Unfortunately ran out of draft options we came for but available in bottle. GREAT Staff! Great Mac and cheese, good pizza. Environment much less dude-bro than surrounding options! Lively area on the weekend beware of people running across the damn road as you are driving by.

The place is a liitle less crowded than the other bars on SOHO. It has decent food. The chicken wings are good along with usual fare of drinks it offers. Go to this place if you wanna party, but you dont want the place to be too crowded.

Came in as a courier to pick up an order around 11:40 pm tonight. Was met by a big belligerent heavyset bald man with earrings whos first question is do you want to explain why youre almost an hour late? In my mind, Im thinking what the hell is this guy talking about? But I explain to him I did not receive the order until after 11:30. He goes on and tries to show me the time on the tablet that shows the time the order was accepted. I attempt to explain to him that most likely another courier accepted the pickup and then cancelled it which the order is then forwarded and picked up by another courier who is close by in the area. He then proceeds to brush it off and talk out of his a** as if he knows how UberEats works. He claims he called me. which I had no missed calls. Ive picked up plenty of orders in SoHo with no problem. Ive came in here 2 other times to pick up orders with no problems so Ill give two stars just for that. Please revise who you have working for you because this place is great, Im sure. But this guy tonight gives an absolute bad first impression for anyone coming in for the first time. Please reevaluate your staff or at least educate him how the UberEats platform works & stop jumping to conclusions! I rarely waste my time on reviews unless an experience merits one.

If I could give this bar negative stars, I would. The bouncers think they’re above the law and think it’s acceptable to shove people out of the bar without a care in the world who is in their path of destruction, causing injuries to innocent bystanders. Completely unacceptable & unprofessional.

Review №52

I was at this bar last night and to be completely honest - I will not go back nor will I recommend this bar to anyone else. I was extremely taken back by the service I received by the blonde bartender working the small bar inside near the bathrooms. She was very rude to customers and had an attitude with almost everyone. She avoided serving people and would skip over them. I went to her and I waited 12 minutes for one drink along with a select others - while other people would walk up and get there drinks right away. I felt like I was being discriminated for no reason. She was so rude and had such an attitude. I do not recommend this bar for this particular reason because the staff should treat all guest equally.

Awful place. Got falsely accused of knocking a drink out of somebodies hand when i never touched anybody or did anything wrong, and was kicked out, they also kept me from going to Macdintons. Was there for the bar crawl nation Halloween crawl and couldnt go into 2 of the 4 bars that participated.

Friendly and attentive staff. Kitchen is open late. The wings, nachos and several of the sandwiches are excellent. Music is kept at a reasonable volume where you can carry on a conversation. They have live performers and things like live band Karaoke weekly. A more chill environment than other SoHo bars, and youll have elbow room unlike mcdintons.

Review №57

If I could leave no stars I would. Yesterday, was the first time my friends and I decided to check this place out as it has been recommended by others we know. Once there, my friends asked me to request the DJ play a few bachata songs. So I did. He then told me that this is not a hispanic establishment and that the owner does not allow him to play Spanish music that is too latin. I was in shock, at the blatant disrespect and racism. As soon as this occurred we left due to obviously being unwanted. We definitely will not be visiting here again.

A man threw a drink at a girl IN FRONT of the bouncer but he did NOTHING. So messed and up the girl just walked away. I asked the bouncer if the man could be removed and he did nothing. I am so embarrassed for Tampa as this is a popular place for young people go to and it is not safe. Weak staff.

Yard Of Ale is great place, I spoke and chat with staff and they go above and beyond to avoid Asshold from running the fun for othersThis place is the definition of a meat market College students and a few locals (bad, ugly, pretty, stupid, smart, nerds and the rest....) gather here on Fridays from 8:00 to 10:00 P.M. to get drunk, act like sophisticated Gettho and Trailer Trash in the name of Saint I dont care.For many, this is the best thing they will ever experience since theyve left their rural or rich neighborhoud.I ENVY them, but Reality and Facts of life will them sobber.

Review №83

The rude bartender double charged me. I paid cash with a tip and the bartender charged my card as well. Not only did she knowingly charge my card after i paid cash, she took it amongst herself to add the tip also. So for my $13 tab she got herself a $21 tip. Im highly upset and reached out to the manager to no avail. Left message and called back twice with no response... be mindful of the bartenders at this establishment

Food was decent, waitress was in a terrible mood. I left the bar and mentioned to the waitress that I was going out to vape. People were sitting right outside so I walked over to the side of the building as not to blow vape in their faces. Waitress came out and asked where do you think youre going??. I tried to explain that I was getting away from the others so they could enjoy their meals. She said I had to give her my debit card if I wanted to go walking down the street. She made it sound like I was trying to get away without paying.They must have a lot of trashy people coming through if they feel its acceptable to take that tone with a customer. I wont be going back.

BEWARE!!!! DO NOT GO TO YARD OF ALE!!! THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY!!! I LEFT A CASH TIP ON GASPARILLA, AND 3 DAYS LATER MY BANK ACCOUNT LISTED AN ADDITIONAL $5.50 CHARGE. WHEN I DISPUTED IT WITH THEM AND ASKED FOR A SIGNED MERCHANT COPY, THIS IS WHAT THEY SENT ME! A SIGNED CUSTOMER COPY FROM SOME GUY NAMED BOB SOMETHING OR OTHER! WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE MESSING WITH ME THEY ADMITTED THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE SIG!?! SO AFTER TELLING ME MULTIPLE TIME TO DISPUTE WITH MY BANK, I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD NOT, AND THAT THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY REFUND. THEY FINALLY AGREED AND NEVER DID! (PROB JUST TO GET ME OFF THE PHONE) WORST PLACE EVER! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! THEY ARE THIEVES! I WILL BE POSTING THIS ON ALL MAJOR OUTLETS AS WELL AS BAYNEWS 9! DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS GUYS! THESE PLACES GIVE GOOD BARS IN THE SOUTH TAMPA A BAD NAME!
