One of the bartenders said my girl was “falling asleep” and just attacked her for no reason when we asked for water.

My group came here for a bachelorette party. The young ladies that work here are absolute dolls. Literal super models. And not only were they are gorgeous but the service was on point. We had a lovely dinner and drinks.The reason I must only give a 2 star review was because some little pretentious Manager was being so rude. He was telling the server to rush out our group because we did not have the intentions to purchase VIP service (it becomes a nightclub at 10pm). We spent money, were dressed to the nines, and were nothing but gracious guests. He’s a despicable human.Unless you plan to spend $2,000 minimum don’t plan yo be treated with respect.

The ambiance was amazing felt exclusive and private, moody.The room itself is smaller than pictures and changes in theme. The food was all very good just small portions so keep that in mind(like tapas for example).pricing is high so come prepared to treat yourself. But overall great experience and lovely hotel.

With the prices at this bar, you would expect it to feel very high end, but it was anything but that. The drinks were fine at best and the atmosphere felt like we were sitting in someone’s blacked out basement. I was so excited to try this place since everyone has been hyping up the Edition, but I could not have been more underwhelmed. There are much better bars in Tampa that are worth the price point. Also the disco ball room that they advertise as being this place, is in a completely separate area of this bar, and can only be entered for a special event or for buying bottle service on certain days. Just take a photo on the stairs downstairs for free and go across the street to something better.

The atmosphere is overrated and purchasing bottle service is a complete waste of money. This place is supposed to represent a high end/expensive club and it doesn’t meet up to the expectations…at all.DJ was awful & terrible service at the table. Try at your own risk.

The hotel is really beautiful, the food was good and drinks too. I expected the place to look like the photos on the website, but the VIP room is the only space they showed on the site the rest of space is just a very simple black room , everyone was very nice until we left the arts club to go check it out the rooftop , they told us that we could come back in without a problem , that we just needed to let the hostess know , but when we got back 20 min later they act like they didn't know what we were talking about and they had never seen us or talked to us before , told us to go back on the line , was a very uncomfortable situation .No plans to go back there , but we will try one of the other restaurants .

About last night! Romantic date night with hubby. Arts Club Tampa at Tampa Edition in the Channelside district! From the valets that actually open the woman’s door instead of the driver’s side, to the hostess that gives you a tour of the Black Room, Red Room and Punch Room, the BEST bartenders Ava and Stephanie in the ArtsClubTampa to the bouncer who takes the best pictures of probably everyone on the ‘artsy’ stairs, it was an incredible time. Strongly recommend. Beautiful and professional and engaging staff! Well done #TampaEDITION! Well Done ~ Tampa needed you! @editiontampa #tampaedition #artsclubtampa #editionhotels #tampaeditionhotel #tampaisawesome

Bartending staff have zero regard for serving female patrons. I wish I wasn’t writing this review but the amount of times my husband and I frequent this place I have had the worst experience as a female customer dealing w the bar staff. I’ll gladly visit the punch room or lobby bar any day of the week over the arts club.

Great drinks & we loved the Photo Booth. It's very pricey. 3 martinis, 1 order of sliders, 1 order of boneless wings, and a bottle of sparkling water: $235.00. We had fun but it's definitely pricey.

If you’re seeking an appealing atmosphere just to show off, then this is the place. However please note my critiques below:• Drinks are substandard at best and definitely not worth the prices charged• The drinks were served in smudged and somewhat dirty glassesThe only saving grace was the servers (i.e., Manny, etc.) and chatting with other guests and the “Blue Crab Fritters” found on the SMALL BITES menu.Please note that the evening was not a total waste of time as me and my wife ventured upstairs to the “POOL BAR” where we were able to enjoy and salvaged the remainder of our evening

What a fun late night scene. We came here for drinks after a late Saturday dinner and were all so impressed with the ambiance. It was almost like a speakeasy in that the illuminated stairs leading to the entrance is such a stark contrast to the black and red that devour you behind the unassuming double doors. We were all taken aback but dove in and made a beeline for the bar. The place definitely had DC or NY nightlife vibes but with friendlier bartenders :) As a former night owl who doesn't go out as often or as late anymore, I'd say this is a special spot for late night drinks. There's no other place like it in Tampa.

I showed up right on time for my 7:30 reservation but was brought to the bar and told that I would need to wait 15 minutes until my table is ready. The hostess was very sweet and apologetic It was busy, so there were no barstools available and I had to stand around waiting. This was fine since I was getting a drink anyway. When a barstool finally opened up, I had a seat with my drink. I had only only waited for 15 minutes in the bar area before an employee came and asked me to get up because they needed all bar stools in another room. They removed all the barstools from the bar (asking all guests to get out of their seats) and I was told that by 8 o'clock the bar became more of a “club” feel. I continued to wait and I was not seated until 40 minutes after my reservation. A server did not come by for a good 10 minutes to check on me and my date. It was just frustrating for me because I don't understand what the point of the reservation was. The drinks were mediocre, and over priced and the ambience was not impressive. They should not be taking reservations if they can't manage space appropriately. I have been to the other restaurants and bars in the EDITION and although expensive, I think it was worth the experience. The Arts Club was truly disappointing in comparison.

I have been here multiple times and never have I been charged this much. I disputed and they said all drinks start at $20. The person I was with was charged $15 a drink. Loyal edition client, but will not be returning to this location. Two dirty martinis $27 each.

One of the more intimate bar areas of the new Tampa Edition. Reservations are highly recommended, and a weekday reservation was easier to procure than a weekend one. We were seated in the booth/entry area pretty promptly once arriving and service was spot on throughout our time here. Our server made sure to give great food and drink options for everyone and their particular tastes.The secondary room contains a larger bar/high top area and the famed arts club private room with the disco balls is connected to the bar area. This area is available for rent, and they have separately ticketed shows in this room as well. Fancy cocktails and small bites are plentiful in the menu. Pricing is a bit steep so make sure to bring your cash or credit card and expect to splurge here.
