This is a little hole in the wall speakeasy off of Bayshore Blvd in Tampa that you need to call ahead for the password. Once you arrive, you need to knock on door and give the password when prompted. Bar is first come first serve and fills up fast. There are booths available for reservation and a private room for events. The bar is where it’s at. To watch these guys make craft cocktails and to chat up the bartenders and other patrons is what hanging at a bar is all about. We tried a slew of cocktails and every one was delicious. Brandon was our bartender, he was knowledgeable and very helpful when it came to deciding and trying next drink. We didn’t get food other than chocolate chip cookies with spiked milk. The cookies were warm and an average chocolate chip cookie in my opinion. One of the people in our party LOVED them.

Pretty cool speakeasy right off Bayshore. Atmosphere is spot-on as it pertains to the prohibition era. Code word needed and all. Awesome cocktail concoctions. Food was excellent as well. I ate the steak frites and my Wife had a salad. Crab cakes for ab app were tasty. Good stuff!

Ciro's in Tampa is a hidden gem! 🍸 The classic cocktail bar ambiance is truly unique and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a couple's escape. The Sea Scallop and Bucatini Carbonara were absolutely delicious – a culinary delight that left my taste buds dancing. The attention to detail in both the food and the cozy atmosphere is commendable. The selection of wines and beers complemented the meal perfectly. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with your special someone, Ciro's is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Great “Speak easy” bar. Awesome atmosphere with perfect cocktails! If you are looking for the place to drink seltzer or can beer, that place definitely not for you. But if you’re really wanna feel a great taste and enjoy with each sip of your cocktail, than that place you will really love!

Very cool place. I love the speakeasy entry and the valet parking is convenient. The environment is nice, the server was great, and the drinks were amazing. The food looked great but flavor wise was just ok and super pricey at that. I would go there again for just drinks and have dinner somewhere else.

We had been to Ciro’s a few times though it had been several years since our last visit. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the bar area was renovated and now features a much larger bar (this is not actually new, but new for us). What remains unchanged is the service and amazing cocktails they craft here. You can tell the bartenders are passionate and put significant time and effort into the drinks. I really enjoyed the bee’s knees personally and am already looking forward to my next visit.

Ciro's is a hidden oasis that effortlessly transports you to the Prohibition era. The discreet entrance sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. The ambiance is a perfect blend of nostalgia and sophistication, with dim lighting and vintage decor creating an intimate setting. The mixologists at Ciro's are true craftsmen, concocting cocktails that are both inventive and expertly executed. Each sip is a journey through flavors, showcasing a dedication to the art of mixology. From the clandestine entrance to the last sip of a perfectly crafted drink, Ciro's captures the essence of a bygone era, making it a must-visit for those seeking a refined and mysterious escape in Tampa.

I am so glad someone recommended that we try Ciro’s when visiting Tampa. First off, the reservation and confirmation process was great. Clear communication is key for me, and they both called to confirm our reservation and texted with the password day of-ah, modernity. Atmosphere was great. I recommend a booth. Private but you can still see movement outside. (although I will say the tables are low if you plan on ordering a meal if you need to consider that). A mirror in the space made it seem more open, too. The drinks? Wow! I am not a whiskey girl, but the server recommended the Flying V to go with the carbonara. It was a pleasantly surprising drink, and the presentation was so classy. Also had a margarita, my usual, and it was top notch. My friend ordered steak and it was delicious as well. Definitely make a reservation, and definitely make an effort to try this place if you are heading to town.

We have been coming here for years. We are well traveled and always return for the consistency of the craft for making beautiful and accurate cocktails. Ask for off menu and it is always🔥🔥. Whatever you think of/ they make it happen and it always hits the flavor/vibe that you thought of. Their drinks have always made surpassed the mark, where other new places fall short. I also recommend the fries and the chocolate chip cookies are freaking delicious!

this was my very first time being at this establishment our server was lou, and she was beyond in Fantastic. My partner and I were not aware that we could request sitting in a private booth beforehand. Myself being on the autistic spectrum sitting in the main area was a little bit too much for me. She went above and beyond to get us a private area so that way I can enjoy the ambience of this establishment without having sensory issues. Because of the Fantastic service I will definitely be a frequent person that not only recommend this place, but comes back! amazing experience !!!

This was our second time at Ciro’s. We reserved the “secret room” behind the book case for a party of 10. If you are ok with the $600 minimum ... I highly recommend this room for any party / group get together. It can easily hold a dozen people. The food continues to amaze me. The drink menu is pretty cool and gives you some history on prohibition. If you are a whisky drinker ... you will love the drinks here. After the first round of drinks, we literally asked the waiter to bring us everything on page 1 on the appetizer menu (plus a few extras of duck fries and monkey bread). Every dish was spot on. After a few drinks, we moved on to page 2. Again, there was not a single dish that disappointed. After 3 hours of great food, drinks and good times, we had to call it a night. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different than the typical bar / restaraunt scene! You won’t be disappointed.

Ciros is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. I love the unique concept of a speakeasy. The secluded location and atmosphere seriously gives 1920’s prohibition vibe. The booths are very intimate. The food and drink are amazing. Seriously some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. But what really sets Ciros apart is how knowledgeable the staff are. I’ve visited several times and each time the waiter is able to not only make excellent recommendations but truly provide knowledge about the menu items, especially the cocktails.
Yes, there’s limited parking. But even in the absence of valet, I’ve never had an issue parking. But parking in the city is always limited so that’s to be expected!

5 of my friends and I️ came to celebrate my Birthday. For such a special night, the server or the establishment did not make us feel special. Service was slow and disappointing. We didn’t have enough napkins, getting refills of water was laborious. One my my guest’s wanted another drink, ordered it, the check came and no drink, yet the server wanted to charge my guest for a drink she never got as the server said, “yes, it’s ready and it’s at the bar” hmmm.. that was 35 min. prior. I had to insist the drink be removed from the bill. This could be a very cool place if the staff was more on top of it and if they really worked with the “Theme”.
Jon Bell
Pricey, but everything was spot on and exciting. Drinks were very well done. The tapas menu was a little small, but the food was very good.
Our server was excited about everything we ordered and thought it was the best thing on the menu.
Michael Davison
Hands down the best meal we have had in a while. Great concept. Awesome atmosphere and even better staff. Jessica our waitress didn't miss a beat. Rich the executive chef did a phenomenal job on all of our meals. We will definitely be back.
Teri Brownlee
Was SO looking forward to this experience, only to find it unremarkable at best. The concept is fantastic but it's not executed well at all. The drinks and atmosphere were SUPER, the service was horrid. There were three in our party, they brought two of our dinners out to be followed by the third meal 30 minutes later. They comped the meal, then reminded us we were going to have to leave. The most disappointing dining experience we've had in, well....ever!
Joy Warren Nicolini
Cool concept, great service, we had a super cute private booth. Our food/drinks were delicious and the presentation and explanation of the food was great. Only suggestion is to maybe have 3 nesting tables instead of 2, one for drinks and the others for food. All in all, we will be back!
Bobbie Greene
The friendly, knowledgeable, and well-trained staff made a great first impression. The space had the perfect ambiance for a relaxed, intimate evening. The truffle oil popcorn was absolutely delicious and the perfect snack, and the drinks were top notch and generously poured. Will definitely be back if ever in the Tampa area again!

I have always loved Ciro’s for their drinks, and have always talked it up to all my friends. It has been a couple years since I’ve been, and I was very excited to get my favorite drink the Bramble. It was no longer on the menu, but luckily I was able to get one. My friend ordered a Moscow Mule. The presentation was great, but both ended up being a huge disappointment. Tasted watered down, and not like I had remembered at all. Left after the one drink, and won’t be going back.
Gina Bongiovanni
Enjoyed a great time in their private lounge with a party of 16. Excellent food, drinks and service. Highly recommend for a fun, private, unique gathering.
Cassie Bruscella
My family & I surprised my newly engaged sister with a celebration at Ciro’s and we were more than impressed! The bartender was incredible (made us multiple custom drinks not on the menu), the service was great and the food was so unique and truthfully out of this world. We will definitely be back!
Michelle Marie
Ambiance was the best! We had a private booth. Menu was small not alot to choose from so we snacked on cheese plate and salad which were decent. Drinks were ok. Not strong at all. We each had 3 of the "strongest drinks" and left without a buzz.
Melissa Marie
We had the BEST experience here. The ambiance the music the drinks were magnificent. Our server Jessica was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent menu knowledge and drink suggestions. Can't wait to come back.
Kimberly Martin
The atmosphere is very romantic- loved the ambiance and the prohibition theme. The drinks were impeccable. I was not crazy about the food. It seems that a little more effort could have been put into making them tastier. I ordered the spiked milk and cookies for dessert. The milk had a very weird chunky mouthfeel and the cookies were obviously burnt.
I’d go back but unless changes are made with the food I’d probably just go for drinks and appetizers
