Strandhill Public (Tampa Heights)

Tony Pierce

We came in for breakfast and had a great time. The bar is decorated to feel like a traditional pub. The staff is also very friendly and prompt. The food was also excellent. Collectively, our table got the Irish 79, bloody Mary, and salty dog. The bloody Mary was not a favorite, but it wasn't bad. We ate the six minute egg, which was amazing. We also had the full Irish breakfast, bangers and mash, chicken biscuit, and croque madame. Each person was very happy with their food and the portion sizes were great. The one odd thing was the staff didn't have brown sauce or know what it was. This seems like a really weird oversight. We have asked that they start stocking it. The drink list is pretty good with a good number of regional beers. I'll definitely be back!

Located right across the street from Armature Works this Irish Pub is awesome! As per usual my wife and I love sitting up the bar so we stuck with our habits. Drew and Seth were AMAZING bartenders, not only do they know what they are doing but also have great ideas of their own when creating a cocktail with your favorite spirits. Location itself was very clean and well lit during the day. Music was a touch loud but they eventually turned it down. Food was great. Fish & Chips were perfectly cooked, Buffalo Cauliflower was nice and light and the Irish Egg which is not an easy task to get done right was done to perfection!

I enjoy Irish food, and this place did not disappoint. I had the beef stew and a gin and tonic, both of which were quite good. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Paige was exceptionally nice and friendly, making the experience even better.

We had such an amazing experience on Valentine’s Day, thanks to our wonderful server, George! The drinks and food were incredible, and atmosphere overall was perfect. Thank you to the amazing staff here!

Fun vibe! Great drinks and food. It’s gets busy and noisy at nights so if that’s not what you are looking for, try an afternoon when it’s quieter. Friendly staff makes this a great place to stay and enjoy.

Had a great time here. Our waitress tessa made my family feel at home as we are not from here. She seemed to be the only server though, and it was pretty busy, seemed like she was taking care of the whole floor. She was running around so we felt bad. Food was very tasty, didn’t order drinks but as she passed us they looked very good. Thanks again tessa we will be back but during the day when less people

Izzy provided great service. I can't ever decide whether to have the pulled pork nachos or the shepherd's pie so I bought the shepherd's pie home to heat up the following day. We were there during happy hour and busy at the bar but not yet at the tables. Nice to have a couple bucks off on the beer. We will definitely be back!

I come here every so often for a good smash burger. The place is great, it has a good atmosphere, good vibes, and great food and drinks. The last time I was here my food was extremely slow which is an anomaly but they were very apologetic and comped me a beer and were super kind. Customer service and people here are 10/10.

I have quit a story, but i wanted to first Thank our Server Tessa or Tesla (not sure which one it is) for dealing with myself and my party i came with. Everything was going well, she checked on our table many many times. Our drinks came very fast and our food order came fast as well considering there was many people there. unfortunately one of my friends didn’t like that our friend paid for everything on one tab (as that’s what we asked our server to do; keep everything on one check) one of my friends did not like that idea and told our server but it was too late. Our server proceeded to tell her that our friend took care of everything. Our friend thought it was rude that Tessa went ahead and checked out already. She then pulled the Manager to the side and told the lady that our server was rude and never checked on our table. i want to say that this is not the experience we had and i want to apologize. Tessa/Tesla was very attentive and very friendly. i feel bad that our friend ruined the experience for us. Other than that, we had a great time! Thanks so much and we will be back without our friend! :D

The best Irish Pub I have ever been to! Their wings and burgers are the best, and their customer service is even better. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Went on the recommendation of an Irishman living in Tampa who said they did a good point of Guinness. He was right... Very drinkable. The place is very nicely laid out, staff are friendly and overall a great experience.

Stopped in on a Sunday just for drinks and had a good experience. It wasn’t too busy, which was nice, and we were able to get bar seating without any wait. I ordered the espresso martini and it was very good, smooth, well balanced, and not overly sweet.

I had loaded nachos, the Shepherds pie and a couple cocktails. The drinks were good, the food was great too. Nice atmosphere to hang out with friends.

We visited during the outdoor expo, so it was packed across the street. We happened to stumble upon this place. The food was good and so was the service. Drink prices were a little high, but it is what it is. There is indoor, outdoor and bar seating. If you're in the food area, give this place a try.

Nice place decorated for Christmas. Vibe was weird with the loud Christian country music playing in an Irish bar though. Decent Christmas cocktails around $18 a piece

I visited here for Burger Week anxious to try out the Irish Whiskey burger. It’s in a great location across from Armature works and right next door to Jenni’s Ice Cream! The server and decor were great, but I was underwhelmed by the salty, greasy food. I ordered the burger and the Irish egg (yes, which is fried) but the egg which wasn’t greasy, sure made up for the lack of grease with the sheer level of saltiness. It was also a very heavy dish, I suggest spitting it to try it. The burger was decent, but nothing I haven’t had before. I’m giving it a 3/5 stars but I wouldn’t mind going again and trying another dish.

Had the weirdest service experience last night. We came in as a party of 2 for the Christmas pop-up, as is our day-after-Thanksgiving tradition. We ordered two cocktails and nachos per usual, but the cocktails we ordered were not good at all. So we told our waitress and she just said “oh sorry about that” and walked away. Didn’t offer a remake or new drinks or anything, and left the drinks on the table. She also never checked back up on us. Later she comes back to charge us but doesn’t show us the invoice on her mobile checkout device or tell us the total. She just grabbed my friend’s card, swiped it, and turned it around for her to select an “additional tip”. When asked about it she goes “oh yeah, when people aren’t satisfied they usually don’t tip. But the drinks are expensive and it’s for charity you know? So I just added it on there”. So… not only did she still charge us for drinks we didn’t touch… with no offer for a fix or solution… she also made the assumption that we wouldn’t tip, tried to hide it, and then lied trying to make it seem like her tip was going to the charity in order to justify??? Auto-grat for a party of 2 is wild. It wasn’t even about the money, as the bill wasn’t high, but the dishonesty and assumptions matched with poor service rubbed me the wrong way. I was about to call for a manager but my friend just paid the bill so we could leave. Anyone coming here this season: watch your servers, pay close attention to your checks, and don’t order the Cherry Cherry Chocolate drink (ick).

Disappointing! Being Irish , I’ve want to check this place out for a while. First impressions were good, we visited during lunch on the Monday between Christmas and New Years, so it was slow, maybe 20 people. The decor is bright and festive. The food was okay, FishCakes were unusually the salmon taste overpowered the cod. My Chicken & Chutney didn’t have any chutney!! When I took my sandwich apart confirming there was no chutney and brought it to the server/bartenders attention, his reply was “I’m kinda running a one-man show here.” Not accurate—there was a food runner and probably a cook, and unacceptable! Why should I settle for subpar food because the staff can’t do their job!! My husband had the Caesar chicken wrap, which was nothing special and very light dry. Worst, and should have been my warning to leave, the ladies restroom had no soap, no towels, and the TP holder was falling off the wall. My rule of thumb has always been, if a business cannot take care of their restroom (which everyone can see), what is their kitchen like?? We won’t be back.

The atmosphere was great, but the prices on their menu is different from what they ring you up as during miracle which seems to be something they claim is a Christmas edition no matter what you order. Also, within their miracle, they add a 20% gratuity to anything you order no matter what the occasion is. We only came in for two martinis and we thought it was only gonna be 14 bucks ended up being 20+ per each, including a gratuity in Which the server literally grabbed the drinks and gave it to us and added a gratuity. It was really weird. Wish they didn’t do that as it draws customers away. Always willing to give just don’t want to be taken advantage of.
