I loved a lot of things in my life, many things. Ranch was always normal. All the decisions I made in life I doubted but I think it all lead to here. I do not for one second regret or have remorse for any decisions I made. If you’re married leave ur wife marry the ranch. If the ranch and me were the last things on this earth I would still eat it. They say you have to let go of the things u love. I’ve let go of the ranch. I’ll be back.

We came here before going to a Lightning game and it was pack. Luckily for us a group had reserved two tables but must have canceled so they gave us one of them. The whole bar is very clean and nice looking and had excellent drink options.
Sadly, outside of the drinks and the general look of the place everything else seemed to fail. Our server didn't seem to care about her job at all and miss heard a whole bunch of what we told her. In her defense, it was pretty loud in there so we may not have been speaking loud enough. I got the shooters and asked for no brie on it and add chicken. A friend

Maybe I had too high of an expectation from the reviews and a recommendation but it was a let down. The service really took a while despite it being nearly empty other than like one other table. It took awhile to get the order in, to actually receive the order and for our waitress to make any returning trips for refills or updates. The burgers were edible but mediocre and cooked incorrectly and the chicken wrap was 50% inedible because the chicken was extremely dry and chewy. The family compared the burgers to Chilis or Red Robin so not much reason to come back or recommend this place to someone

Very good food but the person who took our order was not very friendly. Her name was Emily and she was very cold and distant when she was taking our order. And then a group of people came in and she was smiling and getting their drinks prepared while we were sitting there waiting for our drinks. She seemed like she had an attitude or like we were a bother to her while she was taking our order. We were visiting the area and figured we’d stop by but I will never come back here if Emily is still working here. Not very friendly service, very very disappointed. On the other hand the runner/busser

So devastated! Came here 2 times before (definitely on a slow night compared to tonight) & enjoyed the service and food. We just got off from our job and wanted to go out and enjoy some good food, drink some margaritas, watch the game but unfortunately no one came to serve us. I definitely made eye contact with at least 5 people who worked there. I completely understand it being a busy night, but 20 mins just to come and never greet me was disappointing. I felt ignored yet I already knew what I wanted to order for drinks and food within 5 minutes of sitting. I honestly didn't really care

We arrived witht a large group (7), and they were wonderful. Our server, Cass, was very attentive and took great care of us. They did a great job of bringing our food out at the same time, and other servers were great at helping us during our meal. Our table ordered nachos, burgers, breakfast and salads. We had a great meal. The atmosphere of a sports bar was great, we stilll were able to chat and have a great time.
The entire staff was attentive to our needs, and we are extremely grateful. If we visit tampa again, we will definitely keep District Tavern in mind as a place to eat and watch Sunday

I had an unexpectedly long trip to Tampa after a number of flight issues, finally checking into my hotel at about 11:40pm on a Monday.
I was starving, but the hotel restaurants were all closed and there was no room service after hours. Checked Yelp and looked for nearby places that were still open. District Tavern was the 4th place on the list, but the other 3 were all closed and not taking orders when I called.
So I called and placed an order... wings (1/2 Buffalo and 1/2 lemon pepper), a cup of tomato bisque, and a side Caesar salad. They told me it would be ready in 20 minutes and when I arrived

Nice place! Highly recommended!! Perfect for a date or spend some time with friends. Excellent selection of music at a volume that allows you to talk and hear the other person. The cocktails are unique! Excellent customer service; all bartenders are very friendly. They get your orders ready quickly. On my next trip to Tampa, I'll visit it.

I have only been in channel side for a few months now. Stumbled on this place last night. I ordered a Black n Blue Hamburger. It was amazing cooked just right. I am just sorry I didn't get the guys name that was behind the bar. Very attentive and helpful. The overall experience was excellent. Will be back for sure.

This place is nice. My boyfriend and I stopped in around 10pm to get something to eat. The atmosphere is cool and not too bright. We ordered, chicken wings: average. Mozzarella cheese balls: Amazing! Def recommend, and the Tavern burger: average. We had the 'herbalist' to drink and it was refreshing but we couldn't taste the alcohol. Overall, this place is a nice bar! The bartenders are cool and attentive and the kitchen is timely with food.

Just moved to the area and have been here twice. Food was great! Unfortunately the bar is just non engaging. Maybe I caught them on a bad week? Not sure, but I'm used to bartenders making conversation with customers not just themselves especially since it's a neighborhood bar and seats were not filled we had to ask a server twice if we could get some food / and then a beer refill and she was super nice ! The girl with the red hair ! We asked her because we could not get the bartenders attention - then witnessed a man literally at the service bar waiting to pay for about 5-10 as multiple

First time here. Came extremely hungry. It's in a nice area and is a sports bar type place. Our server was friendly and very helpful with the menu. Their menu is a QR code (contactless) I had the chicken tenders and fries, the tavern shooter and the mozzarella balls. Food was good. Service and prices were great as well!
