    Came here on a Thursday and had a great time. The beer is great and they even had a cooler with random beers from all over that turned out to be a great selection too. We didn’t realize they had food and were really surprised about the quality. Their kitchen was not an after thought and very intentional. Had the Hummus which came with pita and a bunch of peppers and other stuff and also had the flat bread which was really delicious. Kept it light to leave room for the beer, but many more options. Definitely going back to have a full meal next time and probably going to grab a bunch of beer to go.

    Great place!! The atmosphere was good. Kind of a quiet for a Saturday but that made it perfect for us. The selection of craft beer is great and some of the best ipas I've had. The service was great too. On point and very attentive. Super clean place. Enough seating and they have a nice little space outside.

    So glad we made this stop! Food was delicious. The pretzel was perfectly warm on a chilly day. The plating of food was inviting. We had an Italian Grinder, Flatbread and the soft pretzel. The singer was fantastic. Staff continued to check on our table multiple times. Root beer was refreshing, too.

    I hosted a graduation party recently and booked the back patio. Beginning with Rachel who helped me plan everything to the execution with Liz and Floyd - the event was perfect. I had elderly grandparents attending and they provided a high top and a low top inside so they could have a reprieve from the FL heat. The catered food was on time, hot, and so good! The chef came out to introduce himself which I thought was a great touch. My guests had everything they needed. The beertenders made great recommendations and even got my dad to try a beer that I don't think he'd even consider - and he LOVED it. I can't stop singing the praise of this venue. It's so hard to find a place so accommodating that is filled with kind staff and people who genuinely care about hospitality. I wish I could rate 10 stars!

    This small establishment is a nice hangout for a meal and drink. The outside seating is loud because of Causeway Blvd, but inside is small and There's a upstairs sitting area which is nice and cozy. There is alot of craft beers to choose from. We didn't like the pretzel or the beer cheese and mustard that came with it. The staff is very friendly and hospitable. I would recommend returning to try some different menu items.

    We picked Bootleggers based on its location. We stopped to try the beer and we loved the variety with a couple outstanding brews, those being the Vienna Vixen and the Hefeweizen. We also ate dinner and enjoyed the meal. The flatbread pizza was excellent. A larger portion would have been better for dinner but the taste was so good. The Everything Salad was good as an entree. The only thing that disappointed me was the chicken we requested to be added to the salad. The meat was very salty. Salt should stay out of salads period. I understand a little being in meat, but the chicken was definitely over salted. We left with a very good impression of Bootleggers. The taproom is clean and modern. The bartender was great, being as friendly as can be. He addressed us as Sir and Ma'am and was super polite with every exchange. We want to visit again and try more of the beers.

    What a jewel of a find and a hidden gem here in Tampa! Not very fancy but oh my word was the food off the chart good! Their "Supreme" pizza was cooked and spiced perfectly. And the wings! So tender and juicy and loved the flavor! Since we love IPA's we chose the New England style Lushable Crush. This was a wise choice and was a great beer to go with the pizza and wings. It was Trivia night and we decided to participate. It was fun and exciting! I want to mention the staff at Bootlegger's. They deserve more than an honorable mention. Very friendly, helpful and easy to talk to! We made a good choice in choosing Bootlegger's. Thank you for a fun evening and great food and beer!

    In the dim-lit haven of Bootleggers Brewing Company, I found solace in not just their fine brews but the very essence of their existence. The customer service, a welcoming embrace, transcended the transactional, making it an experience to cherish. The libations flowed like the verses of a timeless sonnet, each brew an ode to craftsmanship. And as the amber nectar danced upon my palate, I couldn't help but be drawn to their culinary masterpiece – the macaroni and cheese. A symphony of flavors, a testament to culinary finesse. The atmosphere, an embrace of rustic charm, whispered stories of camaraderie. It left me yearning for more, promising to return and explore the myriad of brews that awaited. Bootleggers Brewing Company, where beer becomes art, and patrons, kindred spirits.

    Bootleggers Brewing is the biggest gem I found so far of 2022-2023 in Florida. Lushable Crush is my favorite beer from Tampa!! Would definitely visit again and pick up some cans to Seoul!

    It was our first visit and we loved everything. Bootleggers had live music. Meg and Andrew were amable and awesome. We had wings mushrooms and nachos, plus we tried almost all the beers. All delicious!!! We will be back next week!

    The food at bootleggers is top notch! I’d recommend the stuffed mushrooms and a pastrami Sammy….but everything here is good! Their crème soda is a must try for soda lovers! The vanilla they use makes it taste almost like ice cream! Bootleggers is also a nice spot to watch sports, they have a projector and a couple TVs. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful when trying to pick a drink. I would absolutely recommend this place!

    It's a small brewery with a good amount of craft beer selection on tap. Has an outdoor seating area. They should tidy up the place inside and outside but it is a comfy place after all

    We went on a Sunday. It’s a low-key super chill environment. Meat lovers flat bread and the stuffed mushrooms were good - satisfying and delicious. Not a beer drinker but their ciders are refreshing and not sweet. I tried the English Cider and landed on the Peach Cobbler Cider - fruity fresh but not sweet. Hubs had the Belgian Tripel which was spot on.

    Only giving two stars because the beer is great, otherwise it would have been a 1 star. The "stuffed mushrooms" were $13 for what I can only describe as the leftovers of a nasty hangover. Cream cheese filling topped with mayo? Really?? Drink here, but don't eat here.

    Bartenders are wonderful, and it was dead for a Friday night but the music was so low it was echoing multiple conversations inside. Not the best vibe in my opinion. You have to order at the bar, water is out of a cooler, plastic cutlery for your food. Was all around strange. This place is like a restaurant but it doesn't want to be. Maybe I had different expectations. Most of the drinks were great, the food was just okay. I don't know if we will be back.

  • 5/5 Michael Angela K. 6 months ago on Google
    Awesome, beautiful place. The staff is so nice and attentive. The beers are all great, even if it's not your style. Holy cow, THE FOOD is soooooo good. They make their own pastrami, smoke their brisket and wings. It's all amazing. The owner is always cheerful and has the customers best experience as priority #1. I LOVE THIS PLACE! My son's favorite thing to order is the Wise Guy, white flatbread with smoked brisket and an orange cream soda. Thank you Bootleggers! We will send everyone we meet your way...

    What can I say……. Service was good. Drinks were good, not great. Food is something to be desired. We ordered chips and salsa for appetizer, I would suggest skip it, it tasted like they went to the grocery store and opened a bag of Tostitos and a jar of salsa. I ordered a meatball sub and my husband ordered the brisket sliders, again tasted like they bought at the grocery store and warmed up. We had one flight of beers to try and ended up getting 1 drink each, with tip over $80. My opinion not worth it for store bought food warmed up. If you are looking for some great atmospheres with great food and drinks and great service try the following; Three Bulls tavern(sangria is great, Cuban and homemade potato chip fries and many other choices for drinks and food, many good choices) Bullfrog Brewery ( burger and garlic fries are the bomb with many choices of drinks and food) Coppertails (pretzel for appetizer, nachos, shrimp Caesar salad and much more) We have been to these three places mentioned above many, many times and have gotten something different each time and has been really good for the food and drinks. We will not be returning to Bootleggers, not for us. We were very disappointed.

    The food was trash. Nachos were served cold. Entrees also came out cold and had to request it to be heated. I would not recommend this place for anything besides beer. And that’s the only reason it received the second star. Edit: I went back for another chance after the owner reached out. Tried different food, and enjoyed it. The wings are tasty, and that pastrami, amazing! Our bartenders were attentive and the live music was nice. I would return again!

    Stopped in on a cloudy day in FL to sample the local craft. Got a flight with 4 selections and not one was bad. The ‘Green with envy’ left a nice wheat flavor and the Tripel Belgian was smooth and delicious. Very clean and spacious establishment with a vast selection of brews and a tasty food menu as well.
