Cw's Gin Joint

First time here. I came to celebrate my birthday with friends. Amazing atmosphere, great service from bartenders. Drinks were delicious. I had a dish with pork rinds and Malanga chip from the amazing chef #Maria, it was so delicious, lots of flavor. Comes with a dipping sauce of mayo-ketchup. Yummy. I had a great time, can’t wait to go back and try more dishes.

My husband and I came here before our show at the Straz and what a real treat. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by the hostess and a gentleman will open the doors and show you the way in. As you walk in, the room is dimly lit throughout with beautiful chandeliers throughout the space and the walls decorated with interesting artwork, which makes it a very intimate and romantic atmosphere. We ordered a couple of drinks (Espresso martini, old pal, queen bee) and several dishes (angeled eggs, grilled octopus, short ribs and the brussels sprouts). We loved the vibe, the food, and service. We definitely plan on coming back for more drinks and hopefully some live music.

Grown and sexy place with art on the wall, live music on Friday. It’s pretty busy around 9pm - 11pm so if you want to sit and enjoy your meal, either make reservations or you’ll have to grab a seat at the bar or you’ll be standing all night. I got the purple potatoes for an appetizer which were pretty good. And for my main entree I chose catfish & grits, I was really disappointed in the fish because it had NO SEASON, cooked to perfection but no season. But we still had a great jazzy night.

Great place to grab a drink or a nice dinner. Probably the most extensive Gin list I’ve seen locally. A ton of flavor profiles to choose from if you are a fan or a novice with Gin. The food was amazing. We had oysters to start and our duck and grilled cheese entrees were perfect. The atmosphere is dark and moody but also has a lot of energy. Be sure to make a reservation as space is somewhat limited. If you are in downtown Tampa do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t be disappointed!

This spot has the most lovely ambiance! We have loved every bit of the live music + throughly enjoyed the service every time. Each time I’ve visited, the servers have been beyond courteous + knowledgeable. The drinks have always been lovely; however, in my opinion, the food lacks something to be desired. My meal the last time was the Caesar with chicken. The chicken wasn’t especially well seasoned + came with the bones still inside, which made it hard to manage on the salad. Beyond the meal, everything was beyond lovely! We will definitely be back for drinks + music sometime soon.
