House of Brews has great food (especially the chicken quesadillas and flat breads) and a decent craft beer selection. The patio is nothing special, just overlooks the parking lot. They have a decent craft beer selection on draft and in the bottle, but it doesn't change very often. Live music is sometimes nice, but the volume is sometimes overwhelming in the small-ish space of the restaurant. We go there because it's close to home and they have a good happy hour.
Review Source:This place always has really good live music, great food, and a super selection of beers! Â Service leaves a bit to be desired, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. Â Every meal I have had there has been super delicious. Â The chicken salad sandwich was only OK, but other than that...kudos!
Review Source:A few months ago, we moved away from Lutz and I really miss our weekly trips to HOB.  It's the perfect neighborhood bar/restaurant to relax on a Friday  night. Â
They have a superb selection of beer with something for everyone. Â My husband loves very hoppy, strong beer and I love anything not too hoppy or sweet, usually a brown. Â They always have a few of both of our favorite options. Â They usually have a beer of the month that you can buy for a great price, and it's usually a great beer. Â They also have some fruity and fun mixed drinks. Â I brought a non-beer-drinking friend there once and she had no problem finding something she would enjoy.
The food is your basic bar grub, which is probably my favorite type of food. Â My husband loves their sliders and I usually order the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Â So good and it goes perfectly with beer. Â
Most importantly, order the buffalo cheese dip. Â It's a must have at HOB. Â Sometimes, we would just go in, order a couple beers, and the dip. Â We always left happy.
If you're in the area in need of a beer check this place out. The beer menu is extensive but not all that impressive if you're a beer geek like me. There is a small set up for outdoor seating that's okay but not great, still beats being inside on a cool winter's night. They do offer food but I have not eaten here.
Review Source:I really enjoyed this place. Food, beer, and great atmosphere. Hit the trifecta there.
Food wise: the buffalo chicken dip is delicious. Â It comes in a bread bowl and you get tortilla chips with it. Â Nice little dish to share with the table if you are there primarily for drinks. Â They have a full menu, but at a place called House of Brews, I for one am not looking to have dinner.
Great beer menu also. Â If you are going to call your establishment House of Brews you pretty much need a great beer list. Â
I recommend this place for anyone who just wants a beer, and maybe an appetizer or sandwich.
Perfect spot to catch a game and get THE BEST WINGS IN TAMPA (they are baked not fried).
This place is tiny but it has fun servers and bartenders, some tv's, a solid selection of brew and THE BEST WINGS IN TAMPA. I would definitely suggest this for some solid bar food, beer and a relaxed atmosphere. Â I believe it is locally owned which is great, I love to support smaller companies if they are good.
Did I mention to GET THE WINGS????
We absolutely love this place! Â The staff is super nice and helpful! Â If you are in the hospitality industry, make sure you get a hospitality card so you can get any draft beer for $3 after 10pm! Â They have a nice selection and can make recommendations as well. Â The food is pretty good as well.....we LOVE the buffalo chicken dip and the chicken nachos! Â It would be nice to have normal bar food sometimes to counteract the alcohol, but since they dont have a fryer, you have to get the healthier version :-) Â All in all, fantastic place, good live music and nice cold beer!
Review Source:Sometimes you get lucky and find a place you never knew existed. That's how I feel about McAnderson's House of Brews Tavern & Grille. I use a location based rewards app called foursquare. I won't go into what it is, but you can look them up. One day while I was checking in somewhere else, House of Brews showed up as a local business. Since a house full of brew is one of my favorite things, I knew I needed to check it out. Now that I've been a few times I really wish I had discovered it sooner.
House of Brews is not just your typical "beer bar". They have a full menu full of wonderful food and they also sell liquor which just adds to the greatness of the place. I'll start with the food, since I am feeling hungry at the moment. I always order the Steamin Soft Pretzels, which come with great dipping sauces and really get you in the mood for some beer. The baked wings are also tremendously spicy and have quite a unique thing going for them. Along with many great appetizers, they also have a great selection of salads, wraps, sliders, and a truly incredible chili dog. Their take on bar food really helps you settle in for a nice day of drinking beer.
The House of Brews doesn't have the vast array of beers to choose from that places like World of Beer and The Brass Tap do, but what they lack in quantity they more than make up for in quality. You can find choices from Abita, Bell's, Cigar City, and Chimay, among the 50 different bottled beers and almost 30 on tap. They also have a "mystery" beer on the menu, which of course I ordered, that ended up just being one of their regular beers they carry. I was hoping for some kind of blind taste test in a black mug or something, but what the hell. It seemed like a good gimmick. Much like other beer bars, HOB also lets you mix and match your favorite bottles of beer to take home with you. This is a great way to sample many kinds of beer in the comfort of your own home. You know, so no one sees you spit out the ones you don't like.
If you are in the mood for something stronger, there is a nice selection of specialty drinks on the menue as well. From funky martinis, to their take on the Manhattan, and even a vanilla vodka drink with an Oreo on top, if you like drinks you can't find anywhere else you'll have a good time trying them all. It's nice to have a choice between beer and liquor, and the House of Brews is smart to not limit themselves to just their wonderful brews.
On our most recent visit, we came for beer and NFL football on Sunday. This is a great place to watch all of the games, except the Bucs of course, and the many different groups of fans makes the day quite entertaining as you follow them on their team's highs and lows. There was a good crowd of people, but not overly packed, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. (Except for the Denver fans. As Oakland scored their 20th touchdown of the game, I imagine many of them were wishing they had stayed home.)
The staff always seem to be happy to be there and knowledgeable about the beers they are selling. Nothing grinds my gears more than someone working in a beer bar that doesn't drink the beer. It's like going to buy a car and having the salesman tell you he's never driven any of them. I haven't met them all yet and don't have a favorite yet, but so far so good. If you like having cute girls bring you beer and serve you food, I doubt you'll have a problem with the waitresses there.
At each table, and on their web site, is a calendar of events for each month. Each day something different is going on and it makes you want to go back and check each one out. There's a "Buy the Draft, Keep the Glass" special on Mondays, which is great for folks that like craft beer glasses. I know I do and this keeps me from having to shove my favorites in my wife's purse before I run out of the bar. On Wednesdays they have bring your own mug night, which I think is just a clever ploy to have you bring back a glass you took from them on Monday and leave it on your table in a drunken haze. Thursday nights are extended happy hour until midnight and drafts are $3. Can't beat that anywhere. Â Friday and Saturday night feature live music like most places. So as you can see, there's always something going on at HOB.
My recommendation is that you head to the House of Brews next time you are in the Northdale/Lutz area. It's a fun place with a great menu and plenty of tv's and people watching to keep you happy. I know I'm making it a weekly must for my wife and I and it's so close to home that I'll probably go even more than that. Just don't tell The Brass Tap. They might get jealous.

The Best Little Beer Bar In Tampa!!! But wait it's not just beer, they have an entire liquor and wine bar with some of Tampa's best bartenders!! If you've wanted and looked for a neighborhood bar this is it. They have 24 of the most outstanding draft beers in the world along with a huge assortment of bottled beers. Not a beer drinker, then the bartenders will make you any cocktail you desire.
It's friendly like no bar I've ever been to in Tampa. I've met some of the nicest people there. If you're hungry they have good pub grub and the kitchens opened late. Most any day of the week there's some kind of great special going on. Friday and Saturday nights they have live entertainment. If you love craft beer this is the place to go. Everyone in your group will be pleased since they have great beer, wine, cocktails and food unlike many of the craft beer pubs. HOB has the best prices on premium beers in Tampa!!
I've been in this are for years. Â Not able to find a good local bar I have tried many in ybor, Tampa, citrus park, all close to work or on the way home. Â Living in Land O Lakes it gets hard to travel into Tampa on the weekends. Â I'm so happy I've found a great place with many beer selections, full bar, and good food. Â Thank you HOB!
