    What an incredible New Year’s Eve celebration! This venue truly stands out as one of Tampa’s best for dining, live music, and events. Their NYE event was nothing short of amazing. The live performances were outstanding, complemented by fun additions like a photo booth, 360 camera, and caricature artists. We spent most of the night dancing on the newly opened third floor, which has a grand setup that feels like a mix between a jazz lounge and a New Orleans art exhibit. The space is open, elegant, and offers fantastic views of downtown Tampa. For added variety, the main floor featured a DJ and a completely different vibe, making it a night to remember. Highly recommend this spot for any special occasion!

    We were excited to finally get a table reservation at CWs Gin Joint. The drinks and food were excellent. While the service was impeccable in general, from the moment we checked in to the completion of our dinner service, we were reminded three times that our table reservation had a hard time limit. Because of a prior experience, we knew about this expectation, but that didn’t make it any less disconcerting when the timing of the drinks and food service did not match the expectation of a reasonable amount of time for the customer to enjoy drinks, dinner and dessert. As we were enjoying the evening, time passed quickly. AFTER we ordered dessert and BEFORE it was delivered, we were told we had a short time extension totaling 11 minutes left to eat dessert and check out. Next time, we may need to set our own alarm to determine if there is actually time left in our reservation to order an after dinner drink and dessert. Nothing like having to throw back a premium pour. It was also interesting to note that as we left quickly, there were clean set open tables waiting for the next reservation. Not sure why we had to rush out so quickly when those open tables weren’t being turned around immediately upon being reset. I have to say, I preferred our prior experience at the bar (when space opened) where we didn’t feel pressed to leave.

    Had a great anniversary dinner and CW's. They had live music and overall it's a very subtle, ambient, classy mood. Nick was our server, and he gave great dinner suggestions and made sure our water's were never more than half empty. Drinks are pretty fairly priced, and the food is expensive, however it's worth it as everything we ate was delicious. I highly recommend the ribeye steak sandwich!

    CW’s Gin Joint certainly lived up to our expectations! Speakeasy feel with a cool, swanky vibe, but not overly stuffy or pretentious. Great food, service and excellent cocktails! Highly recommend!

    Food never disappoints and neither does the service. Prices are very reasonable in comparison to the quality and quantity of the food. Go to orders for me are any of the oyster options and the grilled octopus. The gin selection matches the name and the servers/bartenders are very good with making recommendations based on preferences.

    Nice ambiance. Great bar area. We were out at a table top which was odd since most regular tables were open when we arrived at 5:45 and left at 7:30. Food was good and we enjoyed the gin flight. Service was incredibly attentive.
