What People Are Saying About Rack
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – There's respectable play at most of the tables in the cool, low-lit, leather-couched space--but players tend toward the amateur, not serious cue-toters. Overall, the crowd is mainly professionals and hipsters, mostly in their 30s. The place makes for a fun date or a fun place to look for one. – – The Food – The grouper volcano roll (baked grouper on a California roll), the Blue Gardenia (smoked salmon, crab, smelt, avocado) and the Rack (eel, crab stick, cucumber and cream cheese) are each a complex marriage of cooked and raw, crunchy and softly plush.

Strange little place... in a very ncie way..
by FloridaRobert
STRANGE LITTLE PLACE... It is really not a Pool Hall and not a Sushi place... I REALLY ENJOYED IT... Good crowd (lots of people that have jobs and are not married) But, try to find a parking space a midnight... It will not happen... I'll be back in Tampa next year and hope it is still there, since these little hidden gems tend to disappear.
- Pros: Good crowd
- Cons: Not enough parking

Best Sushi & Happy Hour!
by sjconlon
This joint serves up the best sushi & happy hour you can find. Friendly atmosphere, great pool & nightly specials during the week. I highly recommend coming here. It is a local's favorite so if you are visiting the area you will get a flavor of what the locals in Tampa really like. But CitySearch is really crappy...I couldn't even type the name of the place in my review because it said that the "r&ck" spelled with an a is an inappropriate word...I would rather use the local 813area website that gives much better information about Tampa.
- Pros: Great Sushi, Good Crowd
- Cons: Limited parking

Best sushi/poolhall I've ever seen!
by fashionista22
It's difficult to truly pinpoint what type of establishment this really is, but the combination works! There's nowhere else in town where you can shoot pool, play darts, and eat sushi (as well as other American-fusion menu items), and watch your favorite sports in a clean, friendly environment. The decor is simple yet chic, with several paintings from local artists adorning the walls. The crowd is typically the 25-35 hipsters, but the welcoming smiles from the staff makes anyone feel welcome.The food is WAY above par from typical poolhall fare! Some of my favorite items are the 25 cent wings (that come in 3 flavors), the volcano sushi roll, and their bankshot pasta dish. Plus they've recently added ALL-You-Can-Eat Crab legs Monday nights and lunch is offered 5 days a week. Smokers don't worry- there is a comfortable patio you can get full service on while you smoke.
They'll cater any kind of party or special event that you can think of with any of their menu items and some special requests if you ask nicely =).
If you don't mind a packed house come out on a Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday night----you'll be sure to have a great time!
- Pros: Great food, drink specials, lots of tv's,
