Ybor City Society Wine Bar — Restaurant in Tampa

We had a decent time at this establishment. It is a fairly easy to find business right in the Centro Ybor entrance. They have outdoor seating and indoor seating. Indoors it is very tiny, they have a lot of outdoor seating though, but a lot of the chairs were chained to the tables.

The man assisting us was friendly and helpful with recommendations. I tried the Cava Brut sparkling champagne as well as an organic natural red wine; I enjoyed both very much. Tye red wine was very smooth and easy to drink with nice floral notes. They only had one organic wine there which was unfortunate because that is what I drink and that is what I had. Anyhow, as for food options they can not accommodate gluten allergies for Celiacs specifically. They said everything is likely to be cross contaminated. My husband got the small cheese board for 20.00$. It was decent and fairly priced. It wasn't the best that I've ever had, but for the price it was decent. It had everything you would expect to have in it such as 2 types of meat, I believe 4 types of cheese, pickles, nuts, and some other things. I would recommend this spot if you enjoy wine. They have a wine Club and great discounts on wine certain days. A lot of the glasses of wine were between 10 and 13.00$ which also was great. I saw one, the Ybor wine was as low as 7.00$ We had a...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Society Wine Bar for a wine tasting with my close friends, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, Denise, affectionately known as "Bubbles," made us feel right at home with her warm and personable demeanor. Her nickname suits her perfectly, as she exudes a bubbly spirit that resonates with everyone.

Bubbles' expertise in wine and food pairings was truly impressive. She provided detailed explanations and guided us through each tasting with enthusiasm and charm. It elevated our experience and made it all the more enjoyable.

The atmosphere at Society Wine Bar is inviting and perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. It was more than just a wine tasting – it was a delightful adventure that we'd all love to relive.

I can't express enough gratitude for the hospitality we received. For anyone considering a visit, Society Wine Bar is an absolute must-do. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just curious, you're in for a treat. A definite must do...

Finally gave a “go” to my guts’ instinct and glad I don’t regret it.

First visit after SO many years of “eyeing” it from afar or while strolling the streets of Ybor City, the only thing that didn’t help was that we walked in within 30 minutes or so of the place closing. Nevertheless the person behind the bar (can’t recall her name but that she is from Hawaii… talk about an “aloha” moment ‼️)

She was warm & inviting, knowledgeable and very proud of her job, educating us a little bit on the inventory in house as well as giving great props to the owner; whom we were told runs a wine educating series of classes which can allow you to sit down for the Sommelier test shall you decide to take that certification. She kindly invited us to attend if we wanted to enjoy more of the wines they feature as well as some food accompaniments. Also told us about their featured craft beers on-site.

Definitely on the list of “MUST”...
