This is a very asthetically pleasing lounge. Upon entering I was immediately captivated by the ambiance, the beautiful wall art, the plush furniture and unique details that went into making this place special. The dim lighting sets the scene and allows you to time travel into another world….
There was plenty of seating but we chose to sit at the bar. We were greeted by a female bartender who took some time to warm up to us but by the end of the night she was great! We ordered a variety of drinks including some off the menu specialty drinks made by the bartender. All were really good!
Restrooms are tucked off down a back hallway that’s fill with more art. They were spacious and clean.
Live music was pretty good! They played a variety of genres and sang happy birthday to a few people. It was sort of hard to hear them over the crowd, but not sure if that’s intentional or not.
One other concern was the smell. Upon walking in there’s a flatulence smell that many customers also noticed and we could hear rumblings about. I’m hoping it’s a one off because it’s such a beautiful place!
Overall pretty good joint!!

The moment you see the Gin Joint sign you know you’re about to be transported to some other place or time. This is truly a one of kind gem located in a renovated historic building. The interior design and addition of a live jazz band add to the feeling of timelessness. Naturally, they offer all kinds of gin but they also have many lovely cocktails. I ordered the Peaches Be Crazy per our servers recommendation and it was perfect! Our group only came in for drinks so we just got a charcuterie board and the lobster dip which was a huge hit. We were only in town for the weekend and we visited several bars but this was my favorite!

This place is AWESOME! We visited on a GNO. From the entrance to the atmosphere with beautiful chandeliers to the music, the impressive bar, and lounge and table seating options…it’s all swanky.
Our server was Logan. He is super impressive. There were 7 of us. None of us even looked at the menu. Logan basically profiled each our flavor preferences and then brought us a cocktail of his choosing that he thought would be a match. He did not even write one single thing down. It’s kind of mind blowing. And every single drink was a hit!!!
We sat on the velvet couches and it was just the perfect stop on our bar crawl.
I highly recommend giving this place a try and requesting Logan to take care of you. The only very minor issue we had was with Austin. I thought he was the manager but after our encounter with him…perhaps he’s a host. It was just a little petty and unprofessional encounter at our arrival that started out our visit with a bit of negativity. I had called weeks in advance to make a reservation and request one of the couch areas. I thought I was going to have 6 or 7 people but I knew I had 5. If your party is 6+ they make you put down a credit card…so I just did a party of 5 knowing there was space for the extras at the couch area I had reserved. Austin and I specifically talked about this when I booked. There may have been a miscommunication and it could even have been completely on my side….i don’t think it matters. He was kinda snippy about it when our group was checking in…calling me out saying he would never have done our reservation like that and then acted put out and said they’d have to redo our table to accommodate our change, etc. We were seated at one of the couch areas, just like I had already reserved anyway…and we noticed that all of the couch tables were not only empty but each also could easily have sat more than the 7 of us as we did not even use 1 chair and we had plenty more room on the couch, too. So, I don’t really understand what happened, why it annoyed him so much, why he felt the need to reprimand me in front of my group, or why he acted like it was such a pain to accommodate when there were only even a handful of patrons inside. I would understand a little frustration on his part if I’d put him in a bad spot that was not easily remedied, but all things considered in this scenario, the professional thing to have done would have been just to be friendly and welcoming and seat us without incident at any one of the open couches.
I still highly recommend CWs. I would’ve docked a star on service for Austin but Logan was phenomenal (as was every other employee we encountered) so I just couldn’t let that unpleasant minute with Austin skew the rating.

Went here last night for a bday celebration & it was such a good time. Very upscale & classy. Food was good, drinks were good, customer service was top notch. It is on the pricey side my total came to $70-80 for just me. Definitely special occasion for me. However I would return for sure! Dress to impress in my opinion, no flip flops, jeans etc. date night attire. They had live entertainment playing jazz. Joey was my server & he was phenomenal. Good job Gin Joint on a great overall experience!!

Bar / restaurant. Great atmosphere, delicious food, beautiful bar, amazing music. Place to come back many times! Always perfect. Make reservation if you want a table. Can eat at the bar but very busy. First time took me 2 hours to get a space. Even then wasn’t a bad time at all. Can enjoy a drink and music while waiting.

We recently celebrated a close friend’s birthday at Gin Joint in Tampa, and it was such a memorable evening!
• Ambiance: The atmosphere is upscale yet cozy, with chic décor, moody lighting, and live entertainment that truly sets the vibe. The band and singers were phenomenal—energetic, soulful, and the perfect soundtrack for the night.
• Service: Our servers were attentive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. They were quick with recommendations and ensured our group had everything we needed without ever rushing us.
• Cocktails: Absolutely delicious! Each one was crafted beautifully, balanced, and worth savoring. This is definitely a spot for cocktail lovers.
• Food: The dessert (crème brûlée with fresh berries and whipped cream) was heavenly, creamy, and perfectly caramelized on top. The lobster entrée, however, was the only disappointment—it looked stunning but unfortunately was overcooked, leaving it gummy and difficult to cut. I’m hopeful this was just a one-off issue, because everything else about the experience was top-tier.
Overall, Gin Joint is an excellent choice for special occasions or a night out with friends. Between the live music, incredible cocktails, attentive service, and chic setting, it’s a place I’d love to return to—hopefully next time the lobster will be as perfect as the rest of the evening!

10/10 experience, no question. CW’s Gin Joint is unmatched. The octopus is a must-try, super tender and packed with flavor but honestly, the onion rings were next level. Perfectly crispy, not greasy at all, and just all around amazing. Great food, great vibes, and definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.

Had dinner at The Gin Joint and really enjoyed it! The food and drinks were both good, and the atmosphere was lively with great live music. The service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was being seated at a high table with a couch, which wasn’t very comfortable. Overall, a fun place for dinner and drinks!

The ambiance is incredibly inviting—warm and relaxed with a laid-back lounge vibe. Lighting is dim yet plentiful, creating a cozy feel with comfortable couch seating. (One small downside: the tables are a bit high for the couches.)
As for the food and drinks—I genuinely enjoyed them! The pasta was especially tasty. And duck !!
Love music creates a vibe.
Valet parking is available, which adds a nice touch of convenience.

Wonderful place for a date night. Great music and service. Food that I tried was just ok. I had the shrimp and grits.Their chocolate cake dessert needs improvement. My Mom’s fish and grits was better.
