Editorial Review for Green Iguana Bar & Grill – by Chris Rish

A Bar's Bar
Dead fish on the wall, beer mirrors, a plank wooden floor and handmade tables should tell you something about this shack man's pub. The Green Iguana wants you to "enjoy a bit of the islands." The whole bar looks like it was made from flotsam. Maybe it was.

And Pub Grub
Calamari, wings and poppers, the Iguana has the usual suspects on the appetizer menu. But grouper chunks and crab cakes are here too. Yummy. And if you're cruising for "somethin' somethin'" try the Stank Burger. Stinky blue cheese and onions on a half-pound of beef are sure to turn even the friendliest drunkards from your general direction.

And Bar Folks
Happy Hour on Friday night gets busy. The Iguana is open for lunch as well. May I suggest the grouper sandwich? You can belly up to the bar seven days a week, but be sure to have your drinking cap on. This pub is the kind of place where you always stay for one more.

Go straight thru the fake caribean beer joint to the back, enter an unmarked door, and WAM.. There is a cool SoBe Club Sushi lounge in the bar. A little price, but very nice... A weird place to put it...

Pros: Hidden away Sushi Lounge

Cons: hard to find in the beer joint..

this used to be my favorite place to go in all of south tampa. just a nice friendly neighborhood bar with reasonably priced drinks and live music. then comes all of the so called "improvements". suddenly we have lovely restrooms and sliding glass doors, which would have been fine. next comes the "DRESS CODE" and hiked up drink prices. no sleeveless shirts for men? i'm sorry-i thought this was tampa??? nevermind the thug who got in with his baggy clothes-he has sleeves! it was acceptable that the drinks were mediocre when we were a neighborhood hang out-now if i'm going to pay $6. or more for a margarita how about we use actual MIX rather than OJ and sour? i'm saddened to see the iguana i knew and loved go away. if i want to go to HPC i'll drive to hyde park. i've run my last tab at the iguana. we didn't need another yuppie bar!

Pros: close to home

Cons: mot your neighborhood IGUANA anymore :(
