Really great place with a decent atmosphere, good food, great drinks (kudos barkeep). My only qualm, they don’t tell you gratuity is included in your check, I basically tipped 60% by adding additional tip. My fault too, but clarity would be appreciated. Nothing against our waiter, as he was fantastic!

Great show, the room/theater was larger than expected. We were in line for about 40 minutes before we were let in, the chairs were super uncomfortable, the table was small and we had to share it with another couple. The drinks and service was good. I had the frozen Jamaican me crazy it was delicious. Food and drink prices were reasonable.

Great venue, everyone was friendly and attentive. From the doorman to the servers. As a non drinker it was great to go something without the 2 drink minimum as well. We will definitely return.

First time at Tampa Improv and it was a good one. Great ambiance and atmosphere to start off the evening. Although there was not a featured act, our headliner, Rod Man, over delivered in entertainment quality and for time as well. The only downside was the $20 for public parking.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Why do they say to arrive at 915 for a late show and make us stand out in line on the street until 10:15? Happy birthday, my ass!

john vreeman | Sep 6, 2018
Kris Botkins | Sep 6, 2018

To ensure you get a decent seat...and I have a hard time believing you were standing "on the street" if you did, in fact, get there at 9:15. I've been there multiple times and never been "on the street" while waiting. Door staff welcomed us in to visit the bar, use the bathroom, whatever. Tampa Improv is a top notch facility with top notch staff.
