Getting sauced in Oldsmar (Tampa, Palm Harbor: house, neighbourhood, live in)

[Whiffy Nobjocki]

I'm staying in Oldsmar soon on business and wondered where the best bars were.Craft beer would be a bonus but neighbourhood bars rather than chains would be a preference.Thanks.

Try craftstreet kitchen. Tons of craft beers but also the smoked old fashioned are fantastic.

There's one in Palm Harbor (not too far up the road). Can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Awesome craft list.

Then there's Tampa Bay Brewing Company located right across the street from the Oldsmar Flea Market.

There's also The Brass Trap close to Flamestone.

I am not. It was some local bar. Happened to have Last Snow on tap a few years back and happened to track it down there. Haven't been able to find it since.

Thanks for the suggestions so far - keep 'em coming.
One other question - is there actually a walkable downtown in Oldsmar.Like with streets and shops and sidewalks ?

Yes you do, its called the Oldsmar Flea Market lol. Oldsmar Flea Market (Its actually a pretty good flea market).

Another bar you might wanna check out in Oldsmar is Jack Willies Jack Willies Bar Grill and Tiki | Jack Willies Bar, Grill and Tiki
Also Tampa Bay Downs might be a place to go if your a gambling man, they have a pretty nice poker room and bar upstairs called Silk's Horse Racing | Poker | Dining | Group Events | Golf

I like the Oldsmar area and think its pretty neat that it gets its name from Mr. Olds (Oldsmobile), I think he developed it for his employees to have a place in Florida to retire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmar,_Florida

Also a few really nice parks, especially Mobbly Bayou Wilderness Preserve.

I don't live in Oldsmar but grew up not far from there.

Ah Ha. Do you remember where abouts it was. I've been to a few Palm Harbor bars. Always looking to expand my experience in the area.

Besides a bar with craft beer, Tampa Bay area has a very active craft brewery scene. Not too far from you are a couple of very good craft beer breweries:

The Dunedin Brewery, in Dunedin and the Silverking Brewery in Tarpon Springs.
