Cheapest drink prices I've seen in Ybor. Decent drinks, friendly staff, down to earth atmosphere. Edit: over the years, I've gotten to know the place and the people allot better. It's definitely a fun and friendly environment. Some Saturdays during the day, there's a fabulous local artist market set up inside with allot of amazing artwork and artists. It's like a gallery opening party every time! And you MUST check out their Christmas parties in December. Absolutely the best and they do allot of it for charity. I donate every year whether I'm attending or not.

Cheap drinks. Only thing I didn’t like was that the bartender told me I wasn’t able to have my mobility & medical alert service dog in the building, to which I attempted to educate him on the laws specific to service dogs and the ADA, but he wasn’t having it. 2 other staff members (door guy and bathroom guy) had absolutely NO issue with it. Won’t be back even without my service dog. I found a different bar that understood and welcomed me as a disabled individual. Apparently this isn’t the first time they’ve discriminated against someone with a disability..

I like this place. It's got that dive bar feel, and cheap drinks to match; they have a decent menu, including a cheap section that includes $4 Rum Runners that didn't give me a hangover. Diverse crowd, diverse music tastes (TouchTunes could be playing metal one song and hip-hop the next). On Friday and Saturday you'll see people go here before walking to The Castle, which I guess is fun if you're a people-watcher? Personally I love the outfits I actually came here planning to go there after, noticed a crew dressed like that, and when I noticed them leaving I realized The Castle was about to open

A friend of mine was berated by a staff member and verbally abused for using the men's restroom during an emergency. The men who had been in the restroom gave her permission to use the stall, and when she came out the staff member was standing in front of the door pointing at the "men's" sign repeatedly. He then loudly asked her if she was a man, got into her face, and told her to leave the bar. This is the last straw for this bar. I have never had a pleasant experience there, but this was absolutely disgraceful and rude. My friend was very shaken up from the experience and eager to leave.

Being a Republican hardcore punk rocker half of me should love it and have him you should hate it. I love it all the way. Bar staff is effing amazing. Drink specials are awesome. Go back every time I go up to Tampa. Getting a little hipster and antifa for me, but I still love the atmosphere and the bartenders, most of all the cheap drinks. New Generation doesn't understand. Punk rock doesn't mean Liberty spikes. There's more punk people wearing three-piece suits, then people wearing chains.

You're either gonna start your night here or end it here. There is no inbetween. This is that hole in the wall bar that all your friends talk about. All you really need to know is they have some of the cheapest drinks in Ybor. But you'll stick around for the chill atmosphere. Stick around, play some pool, talk to a stranger about why their favorite band was cooler 20 years ago when when they released that one album. You'll fit right in. Everyone does.

Awesome bar. Sometimes you visit a new place for the first time and try and figure out what kind of customer it trying to attract and cater to. Don’t even try here as you will fail miserably and I mean that in a good way . My best description is that it caters to citizens of the planet earth. Great mix of people just having a good time and a great vibe plus awesome music mix . Will definitely return on my next visit.

Very unpleasant door man kicked myself & 2 girl friends out for going to the bathroom together. We apparently missed a sign on their door saying one at a time. Had to tell our other 2 friends who had just ordered drinks that we were being escorted. Friends had to abandon drinks & they missed out on our money. I’ve never been kicked out of a bar. And for missing a sign? Treated like I broke a law.

Terrible establishment. Bathrooms were covered in vomit. Asked for a glass of water to wash off the toilets and were told we had to purchase a bottle of water! Bill over over charged by 3 drinks and was made to explain myself when questioning chargers. Door man on 3/27 was probably the rudest person I've ever dealt with. Will never visit establishment again! Strongly disapprove of management.

If you want a no frills dive bar to have a few drinks and chill at, and maybe listen to the jukebox or play some pool this is a great place to stop at.. It's also probably the cheapest drink prices of any place in Ybor, Yuengling bottle was $3.. I think they had PBR 16oz cans 2 for $5. So if you go there, plan on taking an Uber home.

I was not a customer here, but I want to give a huge shout out to one of the staff members here (so sorry I forgot her name). While in Ybor with my mom, she had a medical emergency and ended up here. The staff member immediately jumped into action and assisted without question. I am so grateful for all your help. Thank you!

If you like to play pool or darts or foosball or any type of games like that and this is the place to come to. It's a little dive bar but it has good music you pick the music yourself on the little jukebox thing that they have, and then you can play all the games you want. They do charge for all the games but they are fun.

Absolutely one of the best bars in Florida! Reservoir Bar is the kind of bar where anyone and everyone is welcome! The drinks are strong and inexpensive and you won't find a better or more friendlier staff than the group that works here. Lisa and Sam are my favorites! This bar has pool tables, darts, and a touch tunes.

Rude lady answering phone wont let my friend get her card she left. It's 250PM and you the lady says we have to wait until 3PM.. what kind of business are you running to where you can't go in and get a card you left. Oh an by the way your bartenders can't make a Moscow mule it's vodka ginger beer and LIME JUICE!!

Favorite bar ever. I've tried so many times to find another bar that comes close to compare to its divey majesty and its absolutely impossible. It may seem intimating to first comers, but give it a chance I've been coming here for over a year and it's like my family. You will never meet more genuine people.

Customer service was great. Bar tenders at the bar poured very great drinks. But the door greeter/ owner was the sweetest. I walked in as a tourist from gaspirlla and she kindly handed me double. After a kind double, she poured a round for my friends and all the cute girls at the bar. Hands down 5 stars!

Cool place, cool people, but omg, it's smokey. I don't smoke, so it made it unbearable for me to breathe comfortably. It was crowded, so service was about what you would expect in a full bar. I'd probably frequent this establishment if it were a no smoking bar, but I just can't do that much smoke. More

Mr Coleman the Scorpion Man with out a doubt the best Mixoligest in the tampa bay area ,,who i hope to see more off and if anybody can find a better Bloody Mary(only on sunday) i will buy them one when they see me in this establishment ,,look forward to being there every sunday soon Wild Bill

I've had a problem with only one of the daytime bartenders forcing me into buying and drink I did not want just because I was paying with a card and always has an attitude with me other than her I have no problems up there I love the bar I love coming there to shoot pool

Great place to see old and new faces! I took a shot of Tequila with a Scorpion in it. It was easy. Do it or be one of the "I just don't want to" crowd. Get a shirt. Get good drinks. Get good service. Res is a nice spot to get a good drink on. Eclectic crowd. Cool people.

Super cool bartenders, I'm not from here so the actual crowd was a little... much for me personally but I was still able to throw myself into the night life without being a local which is always great. all you need is music, pool, foosball, darts and alcohol right?

Well, it's a bar lol. Not really anything that caught my attention to make it stand out from all the other bars in Ybor, they just happened to be the one that was open on a late Sunday night. The drink prices were reasonable and the bartender was pleasant.

This venue has Personalized services top notch at this location from the front desk to the buyer and I have an invitation to the restaurant. Looking forward to coming again soon.

Spot is an acquired taste! Drifter landmark loaded with graffiti, stickers and grunge. Bartenders are experienced and caring taking great care of guests all night with cheap drinks and cocktails. I think I'll have another go here in the future.

I'm from out of town and decided on this bar last night. They make nice, strong drinks, and have cheap beer and shots. Friendly people throughout the bar. Hank was a FANTASTIC bartender, super attentive and funny and kind. I had a blast.

Deff swiped my card for one amount and saw a different amount on my bank statement. As a server I know that the amount will adjust because of the tip. But not the day of. And it also won’t adjust to a total different amount completely.

I was singled out for drinking only water and told to leave, and humiliated.. told I was being "creepy" because I wasn't drinking alchohol and believe it was clearly racially/religiously motivated. Will be seeking legal counsel.

My type of vibe for a bar. Rock n roll/Punk type bar. The two dudes bartending were pretty chill and I thoroughly enjoyed drinking and listening to some rock music. Next time Im in tampa i will definitely come back to this bar.

This is my regular bar, the weekend versus the weekday is sometimes a big difference. Emphasis on sometimes because this bar can be very VERY busy. If you have a good strategy, you can be served within 5 min on a busy night.

Great spot for cheap drinks & good music. They had all kinds of shot & drink specials. Some shots were $2-$4. They also have double mixed drinks for $4

Easily my favorite bar in Ybor. Definitely a dive, but it has character. Its got 2 bar boxes to play pool on, a couple electronic dart boards, and foosball. I don't think you'll find better drink prices in Ybor either.

The service here isn't very good and they're not friendly. Maybe it was an off night because everything about this place is pretty cool. However, they were rude to my out of town friends so that was embarrassing.

Hank (the man with the beautiful beard) took excellent care of us! He was super friendly and accommodating. Service was fast, and the bar was full. Plentiful chip selection, as well. We will definitely be back!

Everyone was as polite as could be, great service. Bartenders were the best and the mini Miller High Life's just tickled my wife pink!

It was cool, I love the $2 shots they have here but overall it smelled like smoke and I preferably don't want to smell like smoke when I go home but what is a girl to do so yeah it was a good time!

Definitely a fun little spot to see all your friends if you're a local. 2 pool tables and a great established bar scene.

Always a first stop when going to ybor! Exquisite atmosphere amazing service and breathtaking drinks waiting to be crafted by these experienced and friendly bartenders. Hank is the best! ❤

Decent dive bar atmosphere at the Reservoir Bar. Not a huge bar but adequately sized with decent bartenders. Bar top area has a nice size and shape to it with ample seating to also relax.

My 1st dive bar experience. All the writing on the walls was a lil scary in the bathroom. Made it look very dirty, but it was clean. The bartender was nice and my drinks were nice.

Amazing environment, clean and professional bartenders. Security is on top of everything at all times. Nice place to come and hang out by yourself or with your friends and family.

Friendly and attentive bartenders! Nice crowd of interesting people. Was visiting Ybor from out of town, and this was the first bar we stopped into...and never left! Great night.

Exactly what you want out of an ybor dive bar. Perfectly grungy in a cool artistic way. Staff is always welcoming and fun. Love it here ❤️

Great place to get scammed. I've had my card charge well over the amount I have the receipt for. I've also had a friend tried to get screwed over with getting his change back.

I enjoy the Ambiance the cool pool tables the darts and the Jukebox. The bartender is pretty laid-back too and everybody is pretty cool about taking turns on the pool table.

What can I say this place like home away from home. This place take care of you like family people here always in a good mood. Stop by to meet local tattoo artist as well.

If you like a locals bar with local experience local attitude and two pool tables this is the place

This place discriminates against people with disabilities. This is an ADA violation. Matt at the door and Lisa the manager should be held responsible for this policy.

Cheap drinks, free water, great atmosphere. 5 stars all around. I recommend the green tea shots.

Best hole in the wall bar I've been to in years. Great service at the bar (guy with awesome beard) darts pool and cheap drinks. Nice nice and nice.

Grungy dive bar , good service , only complaint is that it gets a bit crowded on the weekends , but that’s usually the case with most ybor bars .

Definitely not going to be everyone's bar. But my wife and I love the place. Drinks are fair and the bartenders are great. Will be going back.

Love this great Hole in the wall bar. Eclectic clientele great drinks. One of my favorites in Ybor City

Res is a great place for cheap drinks. It's definitely a very mixed crowd, but everyone is extremely nice, and I've never had an issue there.

Never been inside only nearby but Google keeps harassing me to add a review. It looks like a typical bar. Can be slightly rowdy at weekends.

I love Reservoir. Have many drinks and enjoy the vibe.

Cool little place kinda hidden almost. I go to ybor a lot and have never been here. Definitely a good place to stop in and check out.

Loved this place. Lots of friendly people. Never a dull moment. Was there one time so far but imagine going back frequently.

Decent atmosphere, good and timely service. Bartenders are great, real and full of character. Will most certainly come back

Cool place, but I finished my first beer then got ignored for 10 minutes. Do I have to be a regular to get good service?

Hole in the wall feel. Very cheap yet very strong drinks. Definitely stop by this place during your bar hopping

Decent smoking bar with pool tables in front and darts in back. Beware of the bugs in the bathrooms tho.

Loved it, 1 of those old home town types of bars...not many of these left...look forward in going back

Perfect afterpartu spot for the Crowbar. Best drink prices on the strip. Pool tables and good times

Smokey little punk rock bar...no mirrors in the bathroom...pool tables, great mr.purple shot for $2

Favorite dive on 7th. Fun place to play darts and have drinks. Great specials for locals as well.

Great atmosphere, good vibes, Great people.

Purple nurples was nice pool table free til 7pm then a dollar but sticks in good condition

Cheap drinks, good bartenders, gross bathrooms. Exactly what you expect from a dive bar

Small place. First come first served on the tables and bar seats. Nice though. …

A really cool bar with a punk rock aesthetic. Would go again next time I'm in town

This Dive has it all. Cold beers, stiff drinks, cool bartenders and graffiti.

Love love love this place had a blast. Drinks are very affordable great crowd

Great drinks at good prices. Bartenders are nice and friendly.

Great dive bar with free pool and so on. Cheap beers fun crowd

You can spend an hour or several hours and have a great time.
