You should go the Mad Dogs. Get a drink. Get some food. Talk to people. The beer selection has some solid British drafts, and the wine selection is good. No liquor though. (But there is a place 1 minute walk that will satisfy that.urge- look for my other review :-). I got the Mahi which as good and great value as it was a big plate with rice and street corn. My friend selected the fish and chips which he loved.
The decor and layout are retesting - in a good way. I will definitely be back!
Very delicious! Fish and chips were great. Crisp and not oily. Can't wait to come back for dinner.
Cute little pub. The bartender, who I assume may be the owner because he was British, was very friendly and accommodating. We got a couple of appetizers and some beers but they were both very good. I'm usually not a fan of blue cheese but the blue cheese fondue with the truffle fries was mild and tasty.
Great English pub in Tampa. Indoor and outdoor seating available. A nice selection of imported and local craft beers on tap. Nice wine selection too. Great food and very friendly service. A fun place to go for either food or a few drinks.
John is the man! The kitchen rocks. Food quality and customer service superb. Clean bleach smell in the restaurant which makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Great musical play list, just enough televisions at the awesome bar, and can I just again stress how yummy the food and service is. What a gem. Thanks!
I love coming here with my 3 year old or with friends. This is a great place to bring the whole family. There is always a dog or 2 in the outdoor seating area so great for those who like to bring their dog along as well. I love their weekend brunch and dinner. The service is always friendly. We look forward to our next visit.
New to Tampa- our first night went well with this excellent spot for dinner, and it’s so close to MacDill. We started with grouper bites, and followed with the chicken sandwich with truffle fries and chicken skewers with sweet potato fries. The local beer selection was limited; however the Free Dive and Crank were great pairings. And bonus- they’re dog friendly on the patio. 🐾
Management is asleep!
Good food, great service, but... it was SO F’n cold it wasn’t enjoyable.
It was a nice night, like 65 outside, but they had the AC cranked so much that we felt like we were in a meat locker.
We wanted to eat outside, but they wanted to put us inside for some reason.
Also, this place may not be able to say it’s a pub if a couple dozen places within 2km have a better beer selection. It’s not bad, but could use some work.
The food was unique, and well prepared. The runners were great.
I feel a little bad giving it 4 stars with great service and good food, but we honestly had a difficult dinner because we were freezing the hole time. Please fix it! That should be easy...

This was an amazing place to visit on my trip to Tampa! The food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the service was AMAZING! Our drinks were always full, the food came out really fast, and again, tasted delicious, despite them having an issue with equipment in the kitchen and only having a limited menu. I highly recommend the scotch eggs and the pretzel! The bartender did an amazing job pouring drinks and keeping us from getting thirsty. I will definitely be coming back on future trips to Tampa!
UPDATE: I went back when they had the full menu and they once again did not disappoint! The tikka masala is amazing - as is everything else.
If you’re reading this during brunch hours head down to Mad Dogs & Englishmen, a cozy British gem on South McDill and try the Eggs Englishmen, poached eggs with blue cheese fondue sauce on steak strips freshly cooked to medium point and tomatoes. Their service was very friendly and attentive. Would love to return to try their dinner menu. Enjoy and remember that “8 days a week is not enough to show I care.”- The Beatles, 1964.

It’s a nice little pub with a distinct atmosphere and a charismatic bartender. We had the Shrimp Dumplings, Fish & Chips, and the Bangers and Mash which all tasted lovely and was presented well. The Toffee Cake for desert was the cherry on top of a really nice experience.
Excellent new executive chef! Made some great change ups in the menu. The shepherds pie with short rib meat and the meatloaf too - awesome stuff. Scottish Eggs - also top notch as was the grouper bites. I can’t say enough about the laid back atmosphere, Beatles music and attentive staff too
We will be back.
Great lunch with our dog, had a burger and the napa lettuce salad. Both very good. Our dog also had a burger. Wonderful and dog friendly we love this hidden gem!
Food & atmosphere were great. Nice might to sit outside, server was not up to par. Would give them another try. Great crowd!
Nice little local place off MacDill Ave in Tampa. Great Fish & Chips, light batter, crispy & fluffy, also good wings. Sarah our server was great, and kept up with all of our requests. Will be back!
‘Allo, ‘allo
I travel to Tampa frequently and when I do, usually find myself here at least once during the week. There’s a decent selection of beers on tap, some IPA and some mild British ales.
Mad Dogs has some pretty good comfort food dishes like pulled pork Mac and Cheese, chicken pasta, burgers, and traditional British pub fare.
Indoor and outdoor seating are pretty comfortable. It’s a place I’ll return when I just want to chill at the bar after work.
Oh man these scotch eggs were fantastic. Perfectly cooked and just a tad of heat. Fish and chips were on point. Maybe not the most authentic but it was definitely tasty. I'll be coming back for the shepherds pie next time.
I was long for fish and chips, they had the best fish and wi had in a long time, my favorite stop is in Anchorage Alaska, this place ranks up there 5 stars on the fish and chips and a nice size meal as well! Will be back !
It's been years since I've been there! And I am certain all will be delicious as ever once I return!! The atmosphere, staff and of course, the amazing menu!! Cheers to you Mad Digs, for a double decade (plus) of delightful, delicious, experiences!!
