Skybox Rooftop Bar — Restaurant in Wesley Chapel

Granted, when there are sporting events happening at the complex there is a greater presence at the Skyboxl. It gets busy, too many drinks needed and not enough hands to make them. I get that. But bartenders should have an intrinsic feel for the difference between the "sports mom and dad" and the local who just wants to patronize the neighborhood watering hole.

When there are empty chairs at a bar, that signals the "have a seat, have a drink" mentality. When there is a beautiful outside seating area, a long line on the "get drink and walk away" side of the bar - that kind of signals - they are not planning on setting at the bar-top but plan to get a beverage and walk away. A well informed bartender knows the difference. If there are no plans to serve a patron at the empty seat at a bar - get rid of the seats. Period.

We didn't eat but the food seemed expensive for what I saw others getting. Drink prices were what I expected for a place categorized as a fancy bar. Had live music. Nice...

Great place for quality drinks. Went early for happy hour. The bartender Eli made me a perfect margarita! We saw two older couples come in while we were there. One left bc there wasn’t a low top table to sit at on the inside. The second older couple sat on the “couch” type bench seat and held their salads in their hands to eat them bc there wasn’t a low table. We ordered the Cuban which didn’t look like the menu so I would be hesitant to order it again. But I will 100% be going back for...
