Bad Monkey

Located in the heart of Tampa, Bad Monkey is more than just your local neighborhood bar and restaurant; it is a gathering place built on a foundation of service, camaraderie, and a love for the community. Founded by veterans who traded their tactical gear for the hospitality industry, the establishment carries the discipline, resilience, and welcoming spirit of those who have served. We believe that the best stories are shared over a cold drink and a great meal, which is why we have cultivated a laid-back, inclusive atmosphere where everyone from seasoned locals to visitors feels like an old friend the moment they walk through our doors.

Our commitment to our community runs deep, mirroring the loyalty we learned during our time in the military. At Bad Monkey, we prioritize high-quality, flavorful food and an extensive selection of beverages designed to keep the conversation flowing. Whether we are hosting local events or simply providing a comfortable refuge after a long day, our mission remains the same: to give back to the city that supports us. When you dine with us, you are not just grabbing a bite to eat; you are supporting a veteran-owned business that is dedicated to keeping the spirit of Tampa vibrant, connected, and strong.
