About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Dubbed the Historic Districts "Show Stopper," Barterhouse Ybor, offers inventive American cuisine like a twist on Ybor's own Deviled Crab Chilua, house made pastas and prime beef & chops. The bar is equally dedicated to premium ingredients crafting cocktails in this elevated-yet-cozy environment. Highly acclaimed Executive Chef Estabon Chacon leads the experience from the stunning open chef’s kitchen.

The Southeast farm community is the heart of Barterhouse, following our sister restaurant in Charleston SC. Our philosophy surrounds the idea that not all ingredients are created equal, and if we eat good, we’re doing good, too. Don't miss this "show stopper" in Tampa's most historic district.

We encourage you to lounge at our speakeasy-inspired bar, stocked with local brews, fine wine by the glass and classic 1940’s libations with a modern twist. Walk ins welcome, and bar menus begin at 4:30 pm.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Barterhouse - Ybor enchants with its "wonderland" decor and festive ambiance, especially during Christmas. The menu showcases "unique and delicious" options, with standout small plates. While service can be slow at times, the dedicated staff and "impeccable" chef make it a "phenomenal" dining destination. Highly recommended for special occasions.

When we arrived for dinner on Valentines Day, the door to this restaurant was padlocked shut. No notice, no warning.

We made a 6:45 reservation and arrived a bit early. No one greeted us or even looked in our direction. We waited at the door and the smell was off putting. There were maybe 5 people seated, when we couldn’t get anyone staff wise to even make eye contact we left. I messaged the restaurant privately to say there was an issue but no response. I didn’t want to leave a poor review but it seems based on the others they aren’t consistent. Hopefully this helps them improve so we can try in the future.

2 stars for effort. It was NYE so it’s hit or miss i feel. We didn’t want a coursed dinner for the mere fact we didn’t like all the options we were coming across so we were really excited to have ala carte. We had drinks here a year ago and swore we remembered it differently. The menu option wasn’t very good, ambiance wasn’t inviting, and overall experience wasn’t pleasant. The effort of the bar/owner/manager was what gives it a two but we went to The Pearl up the street for another dinner. Bummer - ybor for us is a no more again in the future.

It smelled pretty bad when we walked in, like sewage. For a NYE it was extremely quiet and awkward. Felt like everyone was forced to be there. Limited menu and half of it was not even available to order because they were out. Took 30 mins to get drinks and they were not even full/busy. I am not the one to ever write a review, but I was there before and it was so good- lively, fun, food was great, service was great so it was really disappointing to see what has become last night

Loved the Christmas themed place. Limited menu but good options. Good tasty drinks. Service was a little slow, seemed understaffed but we were not in a hurry.

That was the worst service I’ve ever received in my entire life. The food was fine, but definitely not worth the price. My waitress was absolutely awful, got our drink order, got our food order and never again. It was insane. I felt like I was in a fever dream with the amount she walked past our table and never checked in, not once. We payed $70-80 for the worst service I’ve ever gotten in my life.

This was nothing like they show online, from the drinks being totally different to the food being very bland. They were out of almost everything we wanted to order. The shrimp and grits had maybe a 1/2 cup of grits, definitely not worth $26 bucks. I tried to order a pinot Grigio and they were out. When I asked if they had a red blend wine the server handed me a handwritten list on the back of napkins. The list contained maybe 6 wines, one being labeled a red blend. The wine was a Merlot and definitely not a red blend. Every person around us was either complaining or sending stuff back. $230 for 3 people (only 3 drinks) was 100% not worth it at all. Will not be going back.

The food was great but the service and drinks were very slow. I waited over 30 mins for my 2nd drink. I was done with my meal before my friends got their entree. We were there for 3 hours. Our server was great and I think it’s was out of his control.

This is my favorite Christmas pop-up bar in all of Tampa and Saint Pete. The menu is always so unique and delicious. The holiday cocktails in the Christmas cups along with all the decoration and music just makes it a wonderful night. Highly recommend.
