Late Start
1018 E Cass St, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“This brewpub hybrid in Tampa masterfully blends Late Start Brewery's craft beers with Mighty Fine's stellar smash burgers, creating a casual yet vibrant gathering spot that regulars visit weekly. The genuinely welcoming staff and laid-back energy make it equally perfect for a quick pre-game grab or a lingering morning breakfast, while the thoughtfully curated beer selection and creative food shine beyond typical brewery fare. It's the kind of place where every element—from the music to the service to that juicy patty melt—feels intentionally dialed in.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.
