Bradleys on 7th

This bar is a gem of Ybor City. If youre thinking of checking this place out, definitely give it a try. Whether the crowd is full or thin, the staff is aimed at creating a good atmosphere and experience. On weekdays, it can be a small or large crowd, but weekends are always packed. The employees are friendly. Ive never had an issue with the security or the staff. Ive met the owner at the bar a couple of times and he is a down to earth guy. I thought he was just another patron, but it turned out to be Bradley.

Went here for my first experience at a gay bar, was definitely impressed. Drinks were fire and so was the atmosphere. There was a drag show and they were all so talented, would definitely return

We stopped in for an afternoon cocktail. Very friendly service and atmosphere... the tree theme is nice, although the water running through the bar top is odd... thought it was glass and put my ticket in the water. Lol that concept needs to be rethought. Nice place.. would definitely return

I come here all the time & honestly everytime this DJ is there? Music SUCKS !!.He is rude on top of everything …All DJ’s are nice we here to have a good time !!! Not to feel someone hates their job! .Once this DJ IS OUT ILL CHANGE MY STARS cus this is the only issue this bar has!

I’ve been visiting Bradley’s on 7th in Ybor for years. The club’s atmosphere is always lively and welcoming, with incredible drag shows and fantastic dancers. The happy hour offers great prices, and the bar staff are professional and friendly. Security is top-notch, ensuring a safe environment.Bradley’s has a cool pool table that’s perfect for a fun night with friends, and the air conditioning is always refreshing. I once found an old chip, and they still honored it—excellent customer service! The unique bar with water running through it adds a charming touch.Whether you’re there for the drag show or just to enjoy a drink, Bradley’s never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Ybor City’s vibrant nightlife.

I visited there on Wednesday night March 20. My friend and i had a blast. Bartenders were awesome. Very friendly and welcoming. I was visiting from Rochester. They made me feel like an old friend. Definitely will be back.

Staple of the ybor city LGBT+ scene. Great dive bar on one side, large dance floor with drag shows on the other. A heavy hand pour for happy hour, with great customer service! Bartenders are friendly and great mix of customers. If you’re looking for a place to start your evening or finish of your day, Bradley’s on 7th is the place to be.

Love coming here! Good atmosphere and drinks. Our bartender Tommy is always so friendly and personable. It’s good bartenders that make it worth while to come enjoy happy hour or a Friday night out. Will definitely be back!

I havent tried the food but I had a time baby! The dancers were on point. The drag show was marvelous! The energy is a whole vibe! Im not even gay but I love it there! It was a nice chill spot for me to go out and not have to worry about man hitting on me. Theres a lot of techno music but Im okay with that!

This establishment is running a scam charging my card for over the price drinks without disclosing the prices to me. I advise others to stay clear of bar, especially after spending $30 for 2oz of liquor.

Great place took the love of my life.. had a fun time. Bartenders were nice oh and cute.

We had a great time at Bradleys. No cover and the drinks were BOGO for a bit when we got there. We stayed for both shows the night we were there and both shows were good. Great music choices and good vibe in general.Only sad note, my baseball cap with my button collection was stolen off my wheelchair which is kind of annoying but I hope its still living a good life!!Per the recommendation of the bartender, they also had AMAZING pizza next door as Bradleys does not server food.

Only thing missing is some tribal house music like clubs in Miami and New York to pump the place up. Some mixes from djs like Roger Sanchez, Oscar G or Mingo Marrero. Great music beats for dancing!

A bar in Ybor City (a city built mainly by Cubans) that besides asking for IDs double (at front and the bar) doesnt accept Cuban people using a Cuban ID, maybe because the bartender doesnt know exists another date format around the world besides the American one, however that should not be that way, really awkward and bad experience there.

Fun gay bar. The bartenders are nice. The go-go boys are cute twunky and friendly. Don’t change a thing Bradley!

Very friendly bartenders, knows how to make a great drink, great atmosphere...definitely would recommend to anyone...it is a gay bar, but if you dont mind that...great place to chill...I love coming here 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Came here with my parents for their BOGO happy hour. Had a blast even though it was slowish. I wish I had a cute place like this growing up to come to. Good mix of boys and girls. 🥰🌈

Great bar. Great happy hours. All different types of people, ages and body sizes are welcome. Often have dancers and drag queens later in the evening. Never a cover.

The bartender at one of the bars was super rude. He refused to serve me because I had a mask on. He said I dont serve sick people. And he told me I was going to drink anyway so why was I wearing a mask. He finally served me when I took off my mask. He tried to play it off as a joke, but I didnt think it was very funny. I told him he was being rude and he basically said no one cared. Super disrespectful. The other bartender was super nice though. I had fun towards the end of the night.

Fun bar! Absolutely loved the vibe there. The bartender was so kind to remake my fussy elderly friends drink (she wont drink anything but vodka with loads of ice cubes) to a straight up vodka with just ice and no soda although I said I could have drank it and got another one for her at happy hour. Great customer service.

DRUGGED BY BARTENDER!!! This is long but I implore you to read all the way through for your own safety and those you might be going with. Went with my boyfriend and ended up nearly passed out on the street from whatever the bartender laced in our drinks. It was the FIRST drink of the night so no mistaking that my boyfriend and I were drugged. It was not busy and we guarded are drinks never leaving them away from us. Only time I didn’t watch my drink was when the bartender made it. No one was bumping into us as we sat down the whole time away from everyone no chance of any one else lacing it but the bartender.DO NOT GO HERE! I was recommended this place by a friend so I thought nothing of going but I was wrong can’t even trust the bartenders.Highly recommend staying out of Ybor completely it is not worth the risk. If you experience sudden spike in temperature/heart beating erratically GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! Those are the First signs of being drugged call the cops, get to your car and lock the doors no matter what like I did and STAY VIGILANT! If you are going to ignore these warnings and go anyway PLEASE share your location with multiple people and keep them updated. This literally saved me from god knows what they had planned. A fun night out can be had else where do not risk it. Lasting effects from this were bad as well. Both my boyfriend and I’s heart and body were very sore and extremely weak for a whole week afterwards. I did not just ‘sleep it off’. Again I can not explain this enough Do Not Go Here or anywhere in ybor for that matter.

Bartenders were friendly. The crowd wasnt though. Not many places to sit down. Free to get in and drink prices were reasonable.

Chris the bartender has got to be one of the best I know. Smiles often, always has a positive attitude, attentive to the customers. I was down one night and he brought my spirit up. Some of the dancers too... 😜😜😜

I had to convey a medical emergency to a bartender and he became angry because I touched him (nothing inappropriate) as leaned over to try to explain what was happening over very loud music. He yelled obscenities to me in front of everyone. Keep in mind that I was already supper nervous about the medical situation that we where having. I reported the incident to management who came quickly to speak to me. The assistant and regular manager came. The Regular manager promised to address the issue at the end of the shift. Wether it was addressed or not I don’t know. But I feel I had to write about my bad experience and warn other patrons. Some people are just to arrogant, rude, and simply nasty with disregard for other human lives. I’m sure when he got hired he was very pleasant in order to get the job. I doubt management or owners would permit such behavior. It’s so sad the supper nice and friendly gay culture is being replaced by such angry people. Specially in a place of employment.

I’ve only had positive and inclusive interactions with other LGBT bars and clubs around Florida, but Bradley’s was the exact opposite. While waiting to get in, a guy we later found out was a performer for the club (or at least had access to their back room) came up from behind me and tried to grab onto me at the front door. When I told him to please not touch me, he started calling me and my friends slurs and threatened to fight us, all while security stood there and did nothing about it.The fact security did nothing made us all feel unsafe, we have no intentions of ever visiting again. Y’all can do much better.

Bar staff were awesome, the dance floor area played great music. Over all, I felt so safe and loved. The inside is absolutely beautiful.

For the last couple of years its been super boring. Could we have some entirely new music on the dance floor? Its the same music EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT! It’s like a playlist they have on shuffle. Every day and every single week. LITERALLY. More and more people I meet there say the same thing and end up at the other gay bar… they could be packed every single night if they know how to play it right.and don’t get me started with their security. Rude AF.

Do not waste money here. They do not care about customers. Do not bother complaining or feeling like you have any rights in this establishment. For example, tonight, I tried to enjoy my first night out in Tampa. Unfortunately, this establishment has aggressive untrained security. When my cousin went to the stage to tip and dance with the Drag, an employee pushed my cousin and started a physical altercation. Instead of trying to Deescalate the situation, the black female security guard was overly aggressive pushing my cousin while she was on the floor and then pushing me and my family out. Without calmly explaining the issue. My cousin had a panic attack and the security guard continued to push us out yelling at us. I asked for a manager. I was told there was no manager. Then, I was able to speak to two managers. The white manager showed no remorse for his employee and said we should try visiting again on a different day. Worst management, customer service, and experience ever. Better music and bars on the same street. Check out the other places where your money is valued.

I love this place. Great drinks, great staff, welcoming, and always a fun time. Ive brought lots of friends here over the years.Today, though, Id like to compliment their security staff. I had an altercation with someone who clearly didnt get the point that it was a queer space and decided to grope me. The security guard realised something was up after he took off with his tail between his legs and she saw how upset I was.She asked what happened then immediately took off after him, assuring me hed be banned for what he did. While I was quite shaken from having an issue in a space I consider safe, her prompt response reassured me that Ill always be safe there.Thank you to all the staff for all that you do. Think the security guards name was Missy? Thanks again; youre awesome.

One of the best gay bars, in my opinion. Strong drinks, without the hefty price. Great selection of music. Sunday evenings are lots of fun if you wanna enjoy the bar with fewer people.

I live out of town and was visiting for the first time. Very cool bar. Bartender was friendly, drinks were cheap and strong, (2 for 1)! Nice patio right on the street, perfect for people watching. The only negative is they allow smoking (always shocked to travel to a city that still allows that.) However, I just stayed out on the patio with the fresh air for most of the time. Overall great bar and had an enjoyable time. Would definitely return.

Was visiting from Canada and went here three times in one week. Hands down the nicest staff and entertainment. The drink specials were also incredible (all you can drink on Thursdays!). Shoutout to all the performers and drag queens as they clearly know how to have a good time and put on an incredible show. Will definitely be back.

Even on Saturday, the drag shows are only one set and last about 15 minutes. Not worth $20 parking

A welcoming place for everyone!!! Best club in ALL of Ybor, and definitely the most welcoming and accepting crowd. The staff is all very friendly and always happy to serve you and the drinks are strong. No cover EVER just makes me love it even more compared to the dumpy clubs down 7th. Highly recommended to everyone if you want to laugh and have a good time!!!

The bartenders here have always been very welcoming courteous and kind and anyone who doesn’t think so needs to remember that you’re at a bar stop expecting world-class customer service if you’re at a bar!

Hoped to see a stronger crowd of women but the bartender was fabulous and the atmosphere was fun. I loved the river running along the bar.

I love the vibe at this bar just in case you know this is a gay bar but the deals on the drinks are amazing buy one get one free also good music to match the energy as well

We will see..... Visiting my home town for first time in many years with my partner. Traveling from Pensacola area for the Bucs/Packers game on 9/25 and doing dinner and a show 9/24 evening. We are slow moving old couple and may find ourselves out of our lane here, but it looks like a great spot compared to the others nearby. Looking forward to the drag show :) See yall then !!!

I was dragged out for no reason. By a black guy who said I was doing something when I literally was dancing. If you’re going to be a homophobia then you should in be working in this bar. Garbage. And the guy through peoples phone out of their hands. For nothing. Guess we will post this on social media. And we have a video.

A friend and I went last night. One of the Bartenders who got off shift around 8-9 pm didnt acknowledge us for drink orders as well as he did the guys. During our second round of drinks my friend had to wait 15 minutes to be asked what she wanted to order while the male customers were acknowledged first. We left and went to the Reservoir Bar a few doors down for better service. I was never really crazy about Bradleys anyway. It was an ok bar. The lack of service last night sealed it for me. I will not be returning.

Rude staff, especially the security service. I was dancing with my friend and she accidentally dropped my drink, and the the security guy took my arm (the way he moved me and that hurts me) and he said “be careful”.Why he has to take me o touch me? I wasn’t drunk or something like that. I’m a girl! Don’t touch me man. He doesn’t have any respect.

Rude security team*editI wrote the above review when I was angry. In reality, the security team was professional and polite except for two members. A women with a temper shorter than Mike Wazowski, and a middle aged white man (manger or owner? Not sure) who looks like he’s done one too many bumps, and acts like it too. Don’t worry about wearing any blush here, just have the security guard slap you across the face a few times.But in all seriousness, I was very disappointed with my experience here, especially with the already limited bar/club options available for us.

My boyfriend and I adore this place. We always go out of our way whenever we are ever any where near Tampa to stop in and visit. It is the only gay bar I’ve been that successfully can swing the club and relaxing bar vibe simultaneously. Theresa is our favorite bartender and always gives us a good laugh. The heavy pours are much appreciated and I love that they only serve in real glass. Looking forward to our next visit!

Seriously!? Hes intoxicated and cant go in?According to the short female security guard at the entrance, Im intoxicated. Its 90° degrees outside and I have my shirt off. Being shirtless doesnt make someone drunk. I mean, if thats the case, I would always be shirtless and no pay for drinks.Since she didnt let me and my fiancé go in, we couldnt close our $200+ tab. Im calling my credit card company and desputing the charge.This is discrimination at its finest. Its supposed to be Pride Month for a reason, support each other. If you come to Bradleys, stay here. Dont leave and come back. They wont let you in. We went to Southern Nights to check it out and came back. Unfortunately, we werent let in.

Great atmosphere, awesome decor and just an all around comfortable place. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. I saw some of the negative reviews and I will say i don’t see where they came from - experience for yourself, you won’t regret it.

Yes, its a gay bar, who cares. The drinks are stiff and the happy hours actually make you happy, go figure. Plenty of TVs and a great music selection is always playing. This bar was remodeled a couple of years ago and Bradley really paid attention to detail on it and spared no money to make this a top destination. He kept the original water flowing bar and it is actually nice now and it works. The drag queen shows are really cool to watch.The dance floor is really cool with lights and lasers, Im telling you no expenses was spared here.Dont pass this place up

This review is related to my experience Pre-Pandemic.Bradley’s is a great place to hangout and meet with friends. No one is aggressive or using it as a place to find a hook up (this is my experience with many other LGBT places). The token system is a nice touch. The bar staff are friendly but certainly are in low staff during peak busy hours.Drinks are decent for the price (it’s a bar so it’ll still be expensive compared to drinking at home).The only reason it has 4 stars is for the smoking they allow inside. As an asthmatic, it does make it slightly uncomfortable for me.

Had a wonderful time here with my besties. Ray, our bartender, was very kind and personable and the drinks were great! Very memorable customer service. :) Definitely look forward to going back, especially during happy hour!😊

At first this place was so awesome, great music and a great vibe but the security and the owner of the bar are not up to par. BEFORE I walked out the bar with my friends we asked to make sure we could literally next door to the pizza and once we came back we thought it was still cool but a security guard pulled me out of bradley’s and refused to let me back in even after the other security guards said i was all good. then the owner came outside and said things like “this is the only 18+ bar open” and “sorry there’s nothing i can do”. Mind you i’m 19 and i showed my I.D. multiple times. Terrible management and terrible security guards, i will NOT be recommending this place to anyone.

Bradleys really is a stand up place, and welcomes all types of people with open arms. I always feel very safe when I go there and the staff is top notch. Back in my younger days, I wanna say there was a Club Hedo or Lido or something- I much prefer the new owners and atmosphere! Just last weekend I had a bartender named Alex who was absolutely amazing at his job. I started a tab and not once did he have to ask my name when I returned to the bar, and remembered exactly what I ordered. He served the entire bar promptly and courteously and extended the same friendly, professional demeanor to everyone even when things picked up and it got crowded. Some bartenders scoff when you ask for water since it is usually free, but I like to pace myself and Alex made sure to keep my water full in between beers. Bartenders take a lot of crap from drunk idiots and rude people in general but this guy was as sweet and patient as he could be. If he hasnt been already someone should recognize him for his work ethic! I hae come across many a rude and jaded tender in my day and this guy was a breath of fresh air! My whole group always have a great time here and make it a point to stop in for a drink or 3 when we are in Ybor. It doesnt hurt that they have cute boys running around in skivvies, either! Keep up the good work guys, and give that Alex guy a raise!

I moved down here in February from Boston and I enjoy going to Bradleys. Ive been going mostly every weekend and one thing Ive noticed is the DJ and the music is the same every weekend. They play the same exact thing. Whenever I go, I can already tell what song is coming on next. And it doesnt help when My friends and I have a request this DJ gets a little offended and shrugs is off every time . This bar is very nice compared to other clubs Ive been to but the music/DJ really has to get a huge upgrade. If you plan on visiting more than once just be prepared to get sick and tired of the music very quickly.

I went here for Tampa Pride and am in no hurry to go back. You are supposed to support our community but suspend your happy hour and price gouge during Pride? Shame on you!! At least the drinks were strong, but I get the same in St Pete for half the price. I also left smelling like an ashtray. Who allows smoking inside in 2018!?!?!? The bartenders were friendly and the music was good, but I’ll stay in St Pete thank you very much.

Not a horrible bar but definitely not worth anymore than a 1 star rating. First time in a long time visiting and my drink tasted either like straight all alcohol or none at all. Then I hear about an assault that occurred in front of the bar. Come to find out the man assaulted was a Military friend. I trust his word without a doubt. Maybe camera footage could unearth truth instead of the talking Ive seen on social media. Id expect the owner to want to get it out there before everyone starts accusing one another. Nonetheless I will recommend to friends to avoid the establishment until I see truth not just by word of mouth.

Ngl, I was expecting more from one of the few gay bars in the space. The drinks were light. The drag host was transphobic. Just straight up DONT GO HERE, if you’re looking for a Queer space. Also, literally 98% of the folks in there were white… like I said… it’s not a queer space!

I am a young black male whos looking for a good time dancing the night away in a safe, diverse, and friendly night club with my partner could this place be safe for a young black man who just wants to dance? I read a lot of reviews about other clubs in Tampa that have had issues with physical violence or racial discrimination. I dont have time for that, I just want to have fun. Can Bradleys be a place for me?

Frequently visit Bradleys and ALWAYS have a great time. Was there last night for Halloween and it was packed. Even with the crowds the staff was great (had smiles on their faces as they worked to serve everyone). Highly recommend Bradleys for a fun night out.

Went to Bradleys for the first night with family to celebrate a birthday. My daughter gave the old ass man her ID and even stated the month day and year she was born to the old guy. The other security guard behind her confirmed and they gave her a 21 and up wrist band and let her in even though she wouldnt be 21 till January. We laughed about it because its 18 and up and she dont drink anyways. But after the rest of the 5 of us ordered drinks over 50 bucks my daughter and my brother went next store to get pizza. On there way back the same old man and younger security guard Id them again. At this time they tell my daughter she isnt old enough because its 21 and up and she is only 20. Umm always been 18 and up. But anyways they rip her and my brothers arm band off and tell him to get in the back of the line. So he does while she stands on the side walk talking to us while we finish our drinks on the patio. Then when my brother gets to the front of the line to get reentry as told to do, the same security guard say he gets no entry even though he is in his thirty and told him to get back in line in the first place. wtf. So he joins my daughter on the side. Walk but the security guard sees us talking to them from the patio and threatened us to take our drinks away and ask us to leave claiming we cant talk to others across the roapes while drinking our drinks we paid for. I told him if he was going to be so rude over a mistake him and his Old man at front door made I would be more than happy to leave and spend our money elsewhere. But he continues to taunt my brother who is on the other side of the ropes and says he is in charge because he is on private property and my brother is on public property on the other side of the rope while this douche security guard crossed under the rope to get in my brother face. And we all go to leave in our group while this ego statistic security guard keeps yelling st us for his mistake and us trying to follow the rules. The other security guard steps in and grabs this crazy security guard while we are trying to peacefully leave as his crazy butt is cursing at us. I will never go back to this place to ever be disrespected again in such manner especially when it was thier mistake for putting the wrong arm band on a 20 year old because the two front door men cant read an id and she still wasnt drinking. Customer service is everything and treating people with respect goes along way. I will not waste my money at an ignorant establishment again. Maybe you shod hire educated people who can read ids and listen to customers before making mistakes and cursing at paying customers.

Not having to pay a cover is nice, and the line moves really quickly. Drink prices were reasonable and the outdoor section is nice. Just didnt like the water stream running along the bar. Just...why? It seems like a way to get messy.

Huge disappoinment from the customer service here. During the gay pride, me and my friends spent around 30 mins doing a long line outside under the Florida sunlight and all for nothing. When we reached the entry, they just told us that we were doing the wrong line. I understand that we did the wrong line but several security guards and the guy in the front saw us doing those lines and didnt say anything! Why waiting until the people were at the door to make them do another one? Ive been a customer of this establishment for years but after this I doubt they will see me there again or my friends. I value service over everything.

I’ll never go here again! I’m from Dallas and I have never experienced such rude and uncomfortable place for LGBTQIA community in my life! No one showed respect of the security workers much less me as a guest or even another family member of the community. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE for FUN!

I only have two words, rude & racist.------The comment that the owner left in response demonstrates the elitist and racist attitude we were met with. Its 2018 why not just take ownership and apologize? We have one black employee, so were not racistWhy would I ever in my life, tell my friends to come out to this garbage establishment and spend money purchasing drinks supporting this BS. Furthermore, The drag queen show was poor quality and the music was out-dated and lame. I understand now why it is free because otherwise you would never have any patrons. I hope you all go out of business.

The last few times I’ve gone here I didn’t know where my favorite bartender was so me and my friends left. He’s usually in the front. The asian one??? Your other bartenders are good but the Asian one is the best. I hope when my friends and I come next weekend he’s back.....

I’ve been going here for years because I feel like it’s one of the few gay bars in the area that is welcoming to everyone. They have cheap and strong drinks, great music, and a fun environment

I went to Bradleys last night and i’ve been sick like 10+ times this morning. And everyone I went out with has as well. We were in bradleys for a few hours and I think they were serving us poison, or the soda water pipes had bacteria in it or something. That was the roughest morning I can ever remember 😭😝🥴.

Sad to say, but this place is going down hill. The dancers are having sex with customers in the corner on the couch, bouncers just look and keep walking. The club has transformed into a Latin club at 12:40am. It seems like the Dj plays the same play list every weekend. I can say that the bartenders are the only thing good here. This place has turned trashy.

I was at Bradley’s Monday night with friends ! I had the most friendly a bartender I’ve ever had ! We were a group of 6 and he was super friendly and attentive! Not to mention super cute guy ! We will come back ! I think his name is Liam ! Latin guy ! Thanks bradlys !

Just be cautious. We went to this bar after being told by the valet down the street, it was a nice bar. I ordered 6 shots for my group and then was informed that it was buy one, get one day. Yaaaaay... when i went back to order the next round of shots, i gave the bartender my order and the little poker chips he told me were for the free shots and he took all but one, because one of the shots didn’t fall under the free shot category. Which was fine.Anyhow, when i go to check out, the bill reflects charges for all the shots i ordered...when i asked the bartender about the charges, he pretended to be so flustered and busy that he could not recall what happened a couple mins before. During this time he also decided to raise his voice to me and pretend as though i had done something wrong. I was truly confused and tried to wait until he regained his good sense so that we could resolve this issue. He did not resolve this issue.Truly this was a trash experience and to make it worst, i didn’t even ask for the special, he offered it...it seems like this place really needs to invest in some quality employees and customer services training. These nothing worst than being defensive when customer try to provide honest feedback. I definitely don’t plan on going there again.

Nice place to have a margarita and spend a couple of hours !

My Husband and I as well as our companions go to Bradleys almost every Saturday now.Great outstanding bartenders fast paced ready to serve your every drink!!! Excellent pro drag events!!!Club is very nice best 80s 90s music people are extremely friendly openminded and happy! best crowd I have seen in a long time.My only wish is that they would do a 90s theme Saturday night with 90s Euro dance/pop music like be my lover, rhythm of the night, Gina G etc. Otherwise great atmosphere. Will continue to be a customer! ! :-)Thanks Bradleys for having such a great placeSincerely Cristian Antonio

I swung into Bradleys while visiting Tampa for the weekend. The staff is very friendly and pour stiff drinks. The other patrons seemed to be having a good time and loved going into the drag show. Very affordable drinks and right downtown Ybor City.

First of all let me preface I fricking love Bradley’s, it’s my happy place, but the last three times we’ve gone a group of us had stomach problems. One of us drank only soda water so I think it’s the lines that need cleaning. Once this is remedied we will be back and I’ll change my rating to 5++++

As a straight male i can honestly say i had a great time at this establishment. I am single and went into the bar with a group of friends expecting to have a great time but not necessarily to meet any single ladies but i actually met a decent amount of women. It was a fun and diverse crowd. As a bartender I always study the establishments that i go to to see why a bar is either doing well or obviously on its way to closing its doors perminetly and this place showed plenty of promise and obvious signs that it most likely is being run by competent management/ownership. Again, I only have visited this location once but from everything i saw and experienced, I suggest this establishment for anyone who is looking to have a good time.Im not sure if Bradleys hires straight males but this is a place that i would even be interested in bartending at. If management/ownership looks at reviews and hires straight males then Id love to send a resume with my portfolio.-Steven Velasquez

Just went for the first time and loved it! Bartenders are polite and friendly (and pour strong drinks!) and there’s a great crowd. We’ll be back!

They are fraud, the bartenders add their own tip to your bill without your consent.Definitely fraudulent activities. My first and last time going to this place and I’ve filed a police report.

I mentioned to a friend that I got drugged here a few years ago by one of the Bradleys employees. They told me they knew two other girls that have also been drugged here. Bradleys is not a safe place.

AVOID THIS PLACE! My good friend was beaten out front of this establishment to the point of having to be transported to the hospital. The security laughed as this happened to him, the owner hasn’t reached out to him and not a single person helped. They lied about their security cameras not working when the police showed up as well so if you want a safe place to unwind and socialize, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I was here on a off night and happened to meet someone. Went on a Thursday and they had Sink or Swim special going on.The bartender Wes that was there is the best bartender hands down! Look forward to going back - Im here as I write this. Love this bar😉

Seriously gay bar and the bartenders have to be such a mean people... They are one of the most rude people i vene encounter n bars... Str8 bars treat me better then these bartendera... U knkw at the end u will have to atke it cause u are gay..n isnot many places to go ..but they shouldnt be that way the muscle guy n the front with light blue tank top n a sunday 14th 2019 ..Seriously need a personality adjustment... Ur muscles doeant make u a nice person... Start by being nice to ur costumers ... But again is a gay bar what can u expect righ??? Sad....i wish they could do something about the bartender ... Southern nights have nicer bartenders friendly n playfull n way hotter thn the onea n Bradleys...... Is interesting.... But will recomend u to to to southern nights n a friday or Saturday night. They will treat you like they care .... Sundays at Bradleysat least with that guy... Need to change i rather have the blond lady at least she was friendly n nice...GET RID OF THAT GUY IF YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE BUSSINES... or at least talk to him n tell him to be nice ...

I truly love myself today and being honest about how I really felt about being a gaymen in life is what I truly love about being so very often in life is great i miss my lovely partner in life was the only thing I truly love about being in love with one great person is the best thing ever

This is my favorite bar. The staff is very friendly and you get a good drink for your money. Also they have shows and do not have a cover. They have an outdoor patio to people watch.

I typically have fun at Bradleys, but tonight the door guy was so extremely rude then when my brother who was not into it said something, he kicked him out and made one of the security policemen escort us out.Rude and as low class as expected.If you are looking for a fun inclusive bar, head to Honeypot

I went to Bradleys for the first time for happy hour. The bartender was awesome, very nice. Unfortunately smoking is allowed. I just started working in Ybor and glad I found Bradleys but its too smokey for me. Im sorry. Bummer.

Tough to get in, had to wait for no real reason almost 45 minutes. Good drinks & bartender. A bit of play going on in various places...not what I was there for! The crowd was a little clicky but most were Friendly.

Actually liked the vibe of this bar. However asked for and got charged for top shelf. Bartender poured a well and tried to be subtle about it. 👀 name on receipt said Jim.Not a fan of lying to customers!

Great two for one happy hour everyday. Draft beer also.

This was the first gay bar I went to and this was such an amazing experience. Definitely recommend if you want a safe space to be yourself.

We had a great time. Great vibes, you have personal space and the show is fun without falling into offensive and rude jokes.

This is probably the best gay bar Ive been to in Tampa. It has a lot of space, a friendly laid-back atmosphere, decent drag shows, a good dance floor, and good cheap drinks.

Rude Rude Rude!!! The door person was absolutely arrogant and snobbish, reported him to the manager and he was just as RUDE. If i can help it, i will NOT return to this place. I understand why this club is nearly empty at 12:30 am on a Saturday night.

Had an amazing night with cheap drinks, nice bartenders, and a fun drag show

Music in dance room was good, a lot of oldies, but those are the best for dancing. Main room I found too loud to carry a conversation

WE DONT PLAY HIP HOP MUSIC (SNOBBY UNDERTONE) my sister and I visit this establishment during the day all the time :) we have lovely experiences everytime we grab drinks at bradleys..the off chance last night we decide to stop in for a night cap and pizza next door.....it started with the bouncer awfull attitude very hyperintense for checking ids damn near abrasive for absolutely no reason and not a friendly disposition at all wrong guy to greet customers at youre door....then the bartender was awfull as well...I can swear on my mother that bartender did not want to be their did not care about anyone he was serving....my sister and I order the same drinks everytime we come in their and for some reason this time they tasted like cough syrup .....we transfer over to the other side and I request a song by nicki minaj....in the snobbish most revolting tone we dont play hip-hop music here 😤😒😑uhhhh ok....we ask the other bartender for a drink to see if it would taste better he poored half my drink out as I see him and fills the rest up with soda water the thing is I had just ordered it fresh so that means he was just throwing out alcohol 👍to be fast waisting ur product.....we will never visit this place during the night we suggest you come during the day 4pm to 7

Every time I come in to BRADLEYS, i always have a good time. Great staff and drinks. Good shows. With the Ybor city one and only Joey Brooks

Tyelor is a great bartender and takes amazing care of my girlfriend and I when we go in! Literally, as someone in the business myself, you pride yourself on your customer relationships and Tyelor does just that! If you go in, make sure to go directly to Tyelor and get an amazing drink with amazing hospitality! Thanks Tyelor!

I tried going tonight for my Bachelorette party but unfortunately it wasnt 18+ so some of my friends couldnt go in.

Great place, cheap drinks. They even provide shows for entertainment

Bradleys the place to be seen on 7th avenue Ybor City. Ok - Im not 25 or 35 but maybe 45ish and this place still packs the house with 21+ every night of the week. Exceptional nights are Allen & Melvins Train Wreck Tuesdays, Thursday Drag & 18+ underwear contest. Friday & Saturday Afternoon & Evenings are electrifying. Thanks to Bradley for operating such a great Never a Cover bar. The entire staff is whacky & crazy and fun filled spirited people. Scale Factor 10+

This place is the most unsanitary place in Ybor City. The bathrooms are especially disgusting. There has been vomit on the toilet seat my last 3 visits. Disgusting. Instead of having 5 people on the front door, have at least 1 person on puke duty

Turn away guests randomly when they have security just for sport. Regular customers not valued. It would be different if they were turning away sketchy customers but they thrive on turning away seniors.

During the afternoon its a very basic bar. Bizarre water feature on the bar. And no where to charge a phone.

Lots of attitude very clickish crowd.the bartenders sure know how make a strong stiff drink though thats for damn sure.good place to get a buzz going after 6pm then i move on.dont care for the clickish dull crowd.

This is the best place to go on 7th if you want to be in an unjudged environment. I am a happy hour person and love it here. Ray is the best and kindest bartender in Ybor City.

I went with my best friend on 4/28/18. We stopped in for about 20-30 mins and had a good time! People were friendly and the place was lively. I will be returning.

Best club in gay club in Tampa. Great drinks and music. 2 rooms, pool tables and the AC is always working

Friendly LGBTQ bar/club. Some really good bartenders and the drink prices are good. Pretty good music from 2 rooms to choose from.

By far the best bar experience that Tampa has to offer! The staff was kind, informative, and efficient! Will always come here when I’m in town!

Very violent and angry bouncer mistreats customers and throws them to the floor and threatens violence to them. I witnessed this first hand. He should not be ever touching or pushing people down for any reason.

Great bar if youre not into the club scene. However the place could use a little refurbishing. Its old and run down.

I love this place, I really do. I get that its Halloween and its busy, but standing at the bar for 30+ minutes to get a drink, and not even an acknowledgement is ridiculous.

Stopped in on a Wednesday night for a late drink last year. Literally standing in front of the bartender who ignored me, served drinks to other younger men nearby but not me. I left and havent been back since.

A customer and member of the community got jumped out front of the club, security didnt do anything and the cameras dont work so...find somewhere safer.

I want to say I previously had a terrible review up, but gave this place a couple more tries and glad I did. I now love this place, best drinks in ybor

Always have a great time here. Great happy hour, awesome staff and usually has a good crowd.

1/2 price happy hour drink specials. Friendly staff.. indoor and outdoor seating

The drinks are pretty expensive but they do deals throughout the week. It’s a fun place to go!

Bradley’s is always my go to in YBOR. As I’m planning to go tonight to spend my birthday I am wondering if people under the age 21 are permitting in the bar?

No Cover...great dance floor and the Charming and capable Peter bartending at the back bar..Keep him working..

Fun gay bar with great drag queenss

Great drinks, friendly staff and super drag shows right in the heart of Ybor City

Nice place, outside area to people watch. Security and nice bartenders. Right on the main avenue. Opens @ 4pm

We were turned out because I was wearing a purse. I felt like they only want men in there they were not friendly to us at all.

What. A. Blast! Definitely recommend especially the drag shows! Super fun and relaxed

As a first time visiter,I was very impressed.I enjoyed the drinks,the people and the atmosphere.

Right now Bradleys in Tampa number 1 heard castle is fun

Zach the bartender. The best. The entertainment, the prices, the atmosphere... just go and have fun!

Wonderful vibes, always chill or energetic depending on when ya go.

Enjoyable

Older lgbtq crowd. Nice atmosphere. No drink specials though ($).

Had a great time the shows where great and the drinks are on time. Deff do it again

Thieves up in the house! Not saying the employees but people that come there.

This place is not People of Color friendly from the Bartenders down to the security, they were all rude when I went and I will never go back.

I love Bradleys on 7th!!! I always have a good time.

Nice place, and and very spacious! Specially the 2 for 1 drinks!

I love that place Bradley Center Im right at home I love it

A kid was beat up on this property and was severely hurt and the owner did nothing at all. No excuses!

Had a great time, friendly place, good drinks!

Love the place i go there often and is never a dull moment 🥰

They let people get beat up and dont take responsibility for not helping. Go here at your own risk.

Unusual river bar from the 70s! Slow in the afternoon - but still fun

Great drinks and very friendly staff.

Mature ambiance , clean bar and nice people .

Turn the ac off. Its freckin February!!! Geez.Brrr. Nips breakin off and shtuff.

Should be ashamed of yourselves. Absolutely terrible. Also this bar is gross.
