5 reviews for Crowbar
This venue lands a lot of interesting shows and there is no barricade in front of the stage so you can get close and person with whoever is playing. The shows are always cheap and since I live just outside of Ybor the location can't be beat!
Only gripe ever is sometimes getting served is a bit slow during bigger shows, having to do a gig to get a bartender's attention to get a beer gets to be annoying.

Oh the crowbar... For the time being my fav bar.. Saturday nights are awesome here with their live bands... Love seeing Mr Bella here and Weszt was great too! They have three differant bars.. So getting a drink isnt really hard which I like and if a band is playing that you dont like.. well you can just go outside and drink at the outside bar and not get deaf! I do think though that the drink prices are a bit much.. Im a Vodka and Redbull drinker and its 7 bucks for a short... and thats not top shelf ither! hell In cali it was only 6! But the staff is alright too... and you can always walk next store and get some hookah if you like too. Cover charge is only 5 bucks though so that might explain high drink prices.
To sum it up.. Come here to check out some local bands... But let me know if you find a better place!

I came here with my friend to see his friends band, No Coma, and I think really what makes or breaks this place is what bands play during the night. Cover charge was only $5. Everything is right up in front of you, it's like front row tickets, my first real time in a live concert up close kind of scene, and I liked it a lot! (after my ears adjusted to the decibel level)
The lighting in the place was nice and it wasn't overly packed so it wasn't a big deal that the place wasn't too big. Another band that played, Mental Giant, seemed to have a big fan following and they were pretty awesome as well. I'll want to certainly come back here sometime and check out some other bands with some friends.
At the time I was under 21 and came here to see an indie band play (Explosions In The Sky). The bouncers at the door were a little rude, but in a funny-rude kind of way. A way that scares the living daylights out of anyone under 18 trying to sneak in..and scares people like me who were already over 18 but shaking on the insides thinking they wouldn't get in anyways.
They'll mark all over your hands if you're under 21, but 18+ , if you come to see a concert. Small bar in the back left corner, outside patio area - although I didn't go out there, a little too smokey. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean, which surprised me. They had huge glass bowl sinks. As a lady that enjoys cleanliness in clubs, I was impressed.
If you're there for a concert, the stage will be directly in front of you, so close that you could reach out and touch the band. I appreciated this. It was an intimate atmosphere for the band I was seeing. I would go back again. No seating inside, except for around the bar, but there are a few stairways and hand rails to lean against here and there.

I saw a few here. I'm not a fan of the sound inside the bar-- it was terrible! However, a lot of my favorite bands end up playing at Crowbar so I go. Tuesdays are fun for the $5 liters outside with the Crate Brothers.
