The place is the epitome of a “Dive Bar” which I love. Great drinks at a great price with a steady heavy poor - very easy on the wallet and super easy going atmosphere. All the bartenders seemed super friendly and cool. This was my first time here however it seemed like the patrons in the bar (most of them) were known and probably loyal neighborhood “regulars.” Definitely would recommend for anyone staying in the area looking for libations.”

The Hub is one of Tampa's best bars. If you're looking for a place that serves heavy pours at super affordable prices, look nowhere else. The bartenders are very friendly and hold great conversations. This place is a true gem and is one of the most real places you can possibly visit in Tampa. I highly recommend a visit here!

If you're looking for a classic dive bar, look no further. Cash only. Stiff drinks. Great service. The place is definitely dated but it was not dirty like a lot of other divey spots. The only thing missing that I expected to find was a cigarette machine.

Excellent dive bar in the heart of downtown Tampa. The vibes and service are immaculate, and definitely worth a visit!

In my opinion THE best dive bar in all of Tampa. I’ve become a regular here-the buzzing atmosphere of energetic-yet-somehow calm is a grabber. The drinks are STRONG, and still cheaper than most almost every other bar. Definitely one of Tampa’s gems hidden in plain sight.

If you are looking for high end and fancy, this ain't it. But, if you are looking for casual with a local bar feeling, you found it! The Hub is dark, there is great music, and enough chatter to keep you entertained. And Jamie makes the best rum runner this side of the Caribbean!

Definitely a historic landmark in Tampa. Living in Tampa, for the past 32 years, I was able to visit the original location quite a bit through the mid to late ‘90s. It still has the same gritty feel, colorful, but friendly bartenders, and eclectic patrons. Drinks start out strong and only get stronger the better you tip. Be aware, it is cash only.
