Bootleggers Brewing Co. in Brandon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place, has exactly what I need, smoked wings, great beer, and a chill crowd, did I mention the smoked wings? Where else are you gonna get those!

Food was underwhelming. The pastrami sandwich was cold, missing the cheese it was supposed to come with; the nachos looked yummy but had zero flavor, the cheese was plain and brisket was minimal. The potato salad seemed like it came out of a can, as well as the salad and cheese sandwich n the nachos. I can say the wings were yummy! Smoked and flavorful. The beer was okay. Tried the Pilsner, mead and tangerine sour, all were underwhelming. It felt like all the flavor that should be there was gone in the beer and the food. Lots of potential for improvement.

Several of us ladies from our Tampa Bay GirlFrendz group came here for Thursday trivia night they were having and was in a great atmosphere. I had a some flatbread pizza which was really good. We met the owner and he was very friendly. Very nice man. He also brought us over some stuffed mushrooms to try and they were absolutely yummy! Beer was brewed on point. Several options on tap. Will revisit!

What an awesome brewery! The beers, the food, the atmosphere. Everything was phenomenal

Great location with a beer selection to match. I didn’t try the food, but the options were there. Worth a stop by to relax after work or enjoy a beer around lunch.

Absolutely a hidden gem. Everything I've had so far has been top notch. I rarely get excited about a restaurant these days. Typically overpriced and basic. Not here! In this case, the beer was good, the people were friendly and everybody seems to take pride in their work. You can tell a lot of thought is put into the menu and it's executed well. It's not pretentious. The Quality of the food stands out. An example would be the Cajun mustard which is unapologetically strong. The homemade root beer was also good but not for everyone. The Reuben sandwich was great. It's all or nothing in the flavor department. They went all in. If I had to make one suggestion is that that place needs more atmosphere. It was quiet, and low tempo. Almost too quiet. Which isn't bad, but almost like a small local band playing in the corner might have the place packed out for a Saturday night. The side of Mac and cheese could be slightly bigger. Minor thoughts. Food was 5/5 and I seriously cannot stress that enough. Service 100% Pricing is on point. This will become a favorite.

Nice spot to enjoy a drink. Stopped at this spot while kids were in the escape room next door. Nice selection of draft beers, including some non-alcoholic beers. Nice patio area in back.

Staff was great! Upstairs area was an awesome place to chill and enjoy our flights. The mead is a must try!

Great place! Especially Thursday for trivia with Andrew.

Had to walk over to try this brewery. I'm so glad I did! Very, very good brews, and there Mead was amazing!! The atmosphere was very nice and the Staff was outstanding! Highly recommended this brewery!

My husband and happened to stumble upon this place. We walked in and was greeted by the owner, very welcoming, gave great suggestions on the beer and food. The patio in the back was so relaxing. If you are looking for some good beer and smoked wings, this is your spot. We will definitely be back.

Stopped by tonight. Robert was our bartender and was AMAZING. Their beers are among the best I’ve had in Tampa Bay and we had such a great experience. Can’t wait to return. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks, Robert. Cheers.

The food is fantastic, we had the pastrami and brisket sliders and both were amazing! We also enjoyed their brews, the Peach Bellini is refreshing

Staying in the area and decided to give Bootleggers Brewing Co. a try. I’m torn on giving this a 4 or a 5. The beer was solid to very good; the 9% Cranberry Saison (farmhouse ale) being my favorite. The IPAs were good too but not at the same level of excellence. The pretzel is huge and was very good although a bit dry in spots. The atmosphere is good for being in a strip mall type setting. Maybe coming off hours is what killed it a bit. The woman behind the bar was very friendly and had a keen eye on refills so she deserves five stars alone. If you use the men’s room just be careful washing your hands as the sink is dangerously close to the door. I’m always passing through the general area so if I stop by again I may update my rating.

Mythical brewers! Love the beverages, especially the new passion fruit drink! Don’t miss the kitchen the food is outstanding! Amazing team in there! Flatbreads, nachos, and specially seasoned wings which are absolutely to die for! Stop by and chat with one of the lovely bartenders and give the kitchen a chance, you might be surprised with what they bring out for you! 🍀🍻🇩🇪

Small little place with great outdoor area for little kiddos. Chalk art in full effect. Interesting and diverse beer list

Beers were fantastic, food was okay. We had brisket nachos and they were alright. Service was also great! They had games and chalk for the kids to entertain themselves, as well.

Very nice selection of beers. The mushrooms were AWESOME !

Oops, so good forgot to take pic before! Peanut Butter Sammich stout, full pallet spread of oh emm gee! Sumptuous dessert, smooth, creamy, & full bodied. 4 just because no foodie sampling. Burlesque Brown Ale, bold & smooth. Cool Vibes, stupid fast service. Yep, will be here again!

Great place, people, service and beer.

Great place! Awesome selection of brews on deck. The staff is super friendly and the owner is awesome and is very engaged in the community and with the guests . Great place you have here! We will certainly be back!

Great food, great beers, and Meg is an awesome bartender. You will keep us coming back.

It was our first visit and we loved everything. Bootleggers had live music. Meg and Andrew were amable and awesome. We had wings mushrooms and nachos, plus we tried almost all the beers. All delicious!!! We will be back next week!

We loved the back patio overlooking the little pond. The four beers we tried were all fantastic. We really liked the flatbread as well. We loved the lake out back with fish and ducks! One of our favorite breweries definitely!!!

We were there for a private event, and the staff was awesome! Friendly and on top of everything. Bootleggers has a small bar in front and some indoor seating, but the feature here is the outdoor area. It was chilly the night was were there so they had patio heaters going on the semi-enclosed outdoor area.. Make sure you stop in for a drink.

The food at bootleggers is top notch! I’d recommend the stuffed mushrooms and a pastrami Sammy….but everything here is good! Their crème soda is a must try for soda lovers! The vanilla they use makes it taste almost like ice cream! Bootleggers is also a nice spot to watch sports, they have a projector and a couple TVs. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful when trying to pick a drink. I would absolutely recommend this place!

The pulls for beers is excellent and very varied. The nachos are just average, the meet was cold.

The food was trash. Nachos were served cold. Entrees also came out cold and had to request it to be heated. I would not recommend this place for anything besides beer. And that’s the only reason it received the second star. Edit: I went back for another chance after the owner reached out. Tried different food, and enjoyed it. The wings are tasty, and that pastrami, amazing! Our bartenders were attentive and the live music was nice. I would return again!

In the dim-lit haven of Bootleggers Brewing Company, I found solace in not just their fine brews but the very essence of their existence. The customer service, a welcoming embrace, transcended the transactional, making it an experience to cherish. The libations flowed like the verses of a timeless sonnet, each brew an ode to craftsmanship. And as the amber nectar danced upon my palate, I couldn't help but be drawn to their culinary masterpiece – the macaroni and cheese. A symphony of flavors, a testament to culinary finesse. The atmosphere, an embrace of rustic charm, whispered stories of camaraderie. It left me yearning for more, promising to return and explore the myriad of brews that awaited. Bootleggers Brewing Company, where beer becomes art, and patrons, kindred spirits.

Nice atmosphere; staff very energetic and helpful; variety of food interesting combinations offered. Beer choices were full spectrum.

So glad we made this stop! Food was delicious. The pretzel was perfectly warm on a chilly day. The plating of food was inviting. We had an Italian Grinder, Flatbread and the soft pretzel. The singer was fantastic. Staff continued to check on our table multiple times. Root beer was refreshing, too.

Great beer and amazing food. Stopped in on our way to Orlando for a quick lunch. Kids enjoyed the flatbread. The Italian Sandwich and it was great. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome, beautiful place. The staff is so nice and attentive. The beers are all great, even if it's not your style. Holy cow, THE FOOD is soooooo good. They make their own pastrami, smoke their brisket and wings. It's all amazing. The owner is always cheerful and has the customers best experience as priority #1. I LOVE THIS PLACE! My son's favorite thing to order is the Wise Guy, white flatbread with smoked brisket and an orange cream soda. Thank you Bootleggers! We will send everyone we meet your way...

Delicious beer, great food, and fantastic service from the baristas. Will be returning in the future!

We really enjoyed Bootleggers and will definitely be back. Mandy and Kylar we’re two great hosts as well.

The beer is delightful, the staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, a lovely scene for a drink and hang out!

What can I say……. Service was good. Drinks were good, not great. Food is something to be desired. We ordered chips and salsa for appetizer, I would suggest skip it, it tasted like they went to the grocery store and opened a bag of Tostitos and a jar of salsa. I ordered a meatball sub and my husband ordered the brisket sliders, again tasted like they bought at the grocery store and warmed up. We had one flight of beers to try and ended up getting 1 drink each, with tip over $80. My opinion not worth it for store bought food warmed up. If you are looking for some great atmospheres with great food and drinks and great service try the following; Three Bulls tavern(sangria is great, Cuban and homemade potato chip fries and many other choices for drinks and food, many good choices) Bullfrog Brewery ( burger and garlic fries are the bomb with many choices of drinks and food) Coppertails (pretzel for appetizer, nachos, shrimp Caesar salad and much more) We have been to these three places mentioned above many, many times and have gotten something different each time and has been really good for the food and drinks. We will not be returning to Bootleggers, not for us. We were very disappointed.

Always a great experience with a varied beer selection and excellent service

This small establishment is a nice hangout for a meal and drink. The outside seating is loud because of Causeway Blvd, but inside is small and There's a upstairs sitting area which is nice and cozy. There is alot of craft beers to choose from. We didn't like the pretzel or the beer cheese and mustard that came with it. The staff is very friendly and hospitable. I would recommend returning to try some different menu items.

We picked Bootleggers based on its location. We stopped to try the beer and we loved the variety with a couple outstanding brews, those being the Vienna Vixen and the Hefeweizen. We also ate dinner and enjoyed the meal. The flatbread pizza was excellent. A larger portion would have been better for dinner but the taste was so good. The Everything Salad was good as an entree. The only thing that disappointed me was the chicken we requested to be added to the salad. The meat was very salty. Salt should stay out of salads period. I understand a little being in meat, but the chicken was definitely over salted. We left with a very good impression of Bootleggers. The taproom is clean and modern. The bartender was great, being as friendly as can be. He addressed us as Sir and Ma'am and was super polite with every exchange. We want to visit again and try more of the beers.

Great Brandon brewery. I love trying the mead they have on tap, and the pastrami sandwich is excellent.

My wife and I love that place our favorite 16-20. I love that. Really good place I like it.

It's a small brewery with a good amount of craft beer selection on tap. Has an outdoor seating area. They should tidy up the place inside and outside but it is a comfy place after all

They make some wonderful beer and they make a great Stout! Supper friendly bartenders. We will be going back to this place!

Bartenders are wonderful, and it was dead for a Friday night but the music was so low it was echoing multiple conversations inside. Not the best vibe in my opinion. You have to order at the bar, water is out of a cooler, plastic cutlery for your food. Was all around strange. This place is like a restaurant but it doesn't want to be. Maybe I had different expectations. Most of the drinks were great, the food was just okay. I don't know if we will be back.

Service was great! The bartender Rachel was super sweet and funny. Very friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend! Definitely coming back.

Really cool spot to hang out and watch sports. Wish they were open a bit later!

We went on a Sunday. It’s a low-key super chill environment. Meat lovers flat bread and the stuffed mushrooms were good - satisfying and delicious. Not a beer drinker but their ciders are refreshing and not sweet. I tried the English Cider and landed on the Peach Cobbler Cider - fruity fresh but not sweet. Hubs had the Belgian Tripel which was spot on.

Good food and good beers, just wish they did full service and didn’t have to go back up to the bar to get any refills or foods.

The beer here was cold and super tasty. The coders and meads were ok. Would return again.

Stopped in on a cloudy day in FL to sample the local craft. Got a flight with 4 selections and not one was bad. The ‘Green with envy’ left a nice wheat flavor and the Tripel Belgian was smooth and delicious. Very clean and spacious establishment with a vast selection of brews and a tasty food menu as well.

The best flatbread you will eat!

Really nice vibe and the beers they have are well brewed. Bartender was helpful and friendly. My only critique would be, in my opinion, a limited style selection. Some German or true English styles would make for added variety.
