Skipper's Smokehouse, Tampa FL

Loaded with memorabilia and unusual signs posters. They also have a great bandstand and have live entertainment.

Went to Skippers last night to see the Mike Davis Project. The band was awesome and dinner was great too! Damion was our servicer and he was very attentive! We enjoyed everything and had a great time! We look forward to returning, especially when Mike Davis is playing!

THE BLACK HONKEYS WERE GREAT! SO MUCH FUN AND LOVED THAT FUNK AND BRASS! WE WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN "DOAO! " (danced our a$$e$ off!)

My tips for visiting Skippers in any of the hot months.

Wear comfortable clothes and no heels.
Embrace all people and expect to share your table.
Be patient. It’s gonna be a bit busy. Relax.
It’s loud. Don’t try to share your life story during a concert. That person (I) won’t care.

Food is good
Atmosphere is unique and whimsical
Wooden picnic benches are not overly comfortable.

Wouldn’t change a thing. Always fun. Always tasty. Always memorable

Everything at Skippers is the bomb dot com. Best place in Tampa for live music, great food, fun, and friends!

I have been going there for about 8 years. They offer great food at good prices. Also, almost nightly live music. Fun!

My friends and I had dinner while there for a show and the food was quite good. The pulled pork BBQ platter was delicious, and the portions were generous. My boyfriend enjoyed the grouper tacos, but the gator bites and potato salad weren't so great. The staff seems to be really young, and I had to interrupt social time to pick up my order.

Great venue just down the road from my house. We enjoy coming here often. Tried the smash burgers. It was tasty. Also liked the fries. Love that they have so many different genres Staff is always friendly.

One of the nicest patrons and owners. Good music live venue. But absolute horrible smell in the restaurant. Maybe update the pipe system and write off on the taxes.

This is the epitome of what a local joint should. Great food, music, and people. I've never had a bad time there.

Oysters, grouper Reuben and beer. The indoor bar is where I prefer to sit during the summer, but they have tables indoors as well.

What a fun funky place to eat drink and dance the night away
I've had a lot of fun here over the years
If you haven't been
GO
After 4 yrs away due to pandemic, life etc. We returned for one of our favorites
The Dukes of Juke fantastic band. Gouper Reuben and Fried Grouper dinner, cold beers made for a great nice. Remodel is nice but still retains old Florida dive bar vibe. Good to be back
