This is the best locals dive bar in this part of Tampa. It includes both inside and outside seating! I hesitate to categorize it as a dive bar since its spotlessly clean and the HDTV's are all in focus. But, it is dark and cool, they play a eclectic mix of music including Lynyrd Skynyrd and the patrons are a fun, friendly and occasionally inebriated mix so categorize it as you choose! Outside, the front porch is definitely dog friendly as there were several pooches in residence. I'm not sure about bringing a poodle though since the local dogs may eat 'em. Finally, the drinks are cheap and strong and the food is really very tasty. Our burgers and wings and loaded fries were delicious! We look forward to returning!

We visit here regularly. The anchor sauce is SO YUMMY!!!! Get it on anything you order! There's usually only one bartender working, and while they're all great, it's just hard for them to keep up with the volume of patrons often crowding this gem of a restaurant. I would give this place five stars if they staffed two bartenders more regularly. But I think most of the regular patrons are there to chill, and don't mind getting up from the table to go to the bar to place your orders. We also like the downtown location! The bartenders switch and work at both locations so you can't go wrong regardless of the location you choose!!

Ok, once again much pondering on this review. Stopped by for a quick bite, that just didn't happen. Service was friendly, but not very attentive, but they could not rust the kitchen into getting food out in a timely fashion. I had the fish & chips. What a joke I can buy Mrs. ??? @ the supermarket everyday. The fries were enemic, limpless & totally unappetizing. Our server did not care, so I am not going to bother going into the other meal. Do yourself a favor & just stay away. It's that easy, stay away. What's a girl to do? Look for good food that is not worth getting sick over.

I laugh when I read people super angry because the food here isn't amazing. It is so obviously a hole in the wall bar that is not a place one should expect food to blew you away. I've never eaten here, but every time I've stopped by for a drink, I've been very happy. Even if the place is crowded, I am able to get a drink quickly. The prices are reasonable and I love the divey feel. Glad Davis Islands had s cool place like this.

Ok...updating my review. I lurve Jenna! Yes, I spelled that right...well...at least in my world. Had the wings tonight and they were good! Jenna is a sweetheart! She is ALWAYS so warm and cordial when we come to see her. Love this bar and adding it to my seasoned social drinker weekly rotation.

Last weekend I had their garlic parmesan wings and classic burger. What a combo. The burger was so juicy and their wings...the best I had so far.

If you want that old school hometown bar, do it! Good people, regular beer options, and I'll tell you they had some chilly cheese fries there that hit the spot when I needed some help after going out for drinks earlier that night.

Love this place! They have amazing wings (I usually get mild and chipotle mixed), great beers on tap ( they also have a full liquor bar and wine) and great service. Jenna and Rich are awesome! They are constantly adding to their menu (both food and beer wise) so there is always something to look forward to. I'm obsessed with their philly cheesestake egg rolls right now. The atmosphere is very casual, usually a lot of Davis Island locals. They have darts, video golf, and touchscreen video games.

Freaking damn good wings and plenty of beers on tap! This place is perfect for Davis Island residents, but it's worth the drive from anywhere in Tampa for the food, beer and service.

Jenna greated us with a friendly smile. We ordered food and Jenna guided us on our menu selections. All was good. I am definitely making this place a must stop when I am in the area. We ordered the Flatbread pizza and it was awesome. The drinks were great and the liquor selection is impressive!!
Absolutely fantastic little spot! It's the perfect place to "pregame" before a hockey game, and an almost better spot to grab a night cap on the way home from work or an evening out. The staff is beyond friendly, and the service has always been impeccable. The pricing is always beyond fair with multiple specials tbt light the week, and the menu is always evolving. If you're going to grab a cocktail anywhere on Davis Island, this is the spot to do so! You won't regret it!

Nice place to hang out at after work on the island! Pretty good choice of beers & the food was good bar food. Cool atmosphere, & friendly staff. A little small, but nice. Heard there's a hospital employee night.... I'll have to check it out!

Love love love the wings here. The fact that Anchor Bar is open late is a huge plus if you're looking for a tasty late night snack. The staff is friendly and make great drinks every time. I have been a few times and love it here and will definitely be back.

I stopped by for lunch today. Had a hamburger and chips. They have a limited menu but sufficient for a bar. The bar tender was very welcoming and friendly. Next time I stop by I will have to try their wings since they say they are just as good as the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. Happy Hour Mon-Friday 3-7

Icy draft beer, friendly staff. The place was a little dead when we were there, but I can't complain - we definitely benefited with fast service. I do wish the buffalo sauce wasn't so sweet, but all other food was awesome. Maybe offer something not deep fried, and I'd give it 5 stars.

Not very good. Very slow. Should be a lot better for a bar on Davis island. Bartenders drinking not serving. On the upside I did get a decent glass of crown.

They have drink specials everyday of the week, including 6 Dollar Liters of any beer on Fridays. They have .50 wing night on Mondays. having lived in Tampa are over 10 years I think they are the best wings in Tampa. Get the chipotle BBQ and you will not be disappointed.

Terrrrrible service. Sat at the bar for 15 minutes while multiple bar tenders ignored us. One female bar tender sat in front of us counting tips while four of us sat there. They were not slammed by any means. Finally my girlfriend sincerely asked if they were closing and the tip counting bar tender was a total bitch. Too bad, the place looked cool and had good beers on tap. We'll stay at Yeoman's Pub next time.

Stopped in because we bought a Groupon deal and it was pretty much what you'd expect. First, I wan to say that the staff was very friendly. NIce, accommodating and joked a bit. Beer was cold. But then there's the food. I thought I'd try the wings, but ended up with the Fish & Chips. (I hope I don't regret that choice in the morning) The fish was literally out of a box. You know the kind. Looks sort of like a wedge you'd put under a door to hold it open. The fries were good. Seasoned with salt and maybe a little garlic .My wife had a buffalo/honey chicken wrap and sweet potato fries. The fries were WAY overdone, but both the bartender and the cook were friendly and happy to make some new ones. So overall, it's a bar. We weren't expecting Bern's Steakhouse, but I was surprised with the seafood selection being Gorton's box-ready fish sticks. So thumbs up on the beer and the staff (on a Wednesday, no less) but the food? If you're drunk and hungry, it'll definitely get you to the bathroom in the morning...maybe even before you plan to get there. :)

Cheap, cold beer. I have not had their food, but it looks fairly decent. Worth stopping by for a beer or two if you are in the area.

This place is a nice addition (and change-of-pace) for DI. It's got a younger crowd than neighboring 'Yeoman's', but the service and their specials are fantastic. The outdoor seating area is nice as well, but inside is very comfortable and clean/sleek. Looking forward to trying the food sometime soon, it looked and smelled amazing. Thanks for the excellent service on many occasions!
