About This Spot

Big Storm Brewing Tap Room in Clearwater opens up like a laid-back gathering spot where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the clink of glasses and the occasional burst of laughter. Whether you settle in outside under the warm glow of space heaters or find a cozy corner indoors, the atmosphere carries an easygoing, welcoming spirit that invites you to stay a while. It’s the sort of place where the pace slows just enough to savor the moment, surrounded by a mix of friends, families, and neighbors.

The expansive beer garden, dotted with picnic tables and shaded by leafy trees, offers a casual backdrop for everything from lively weekend crowds to quiet weekday afternoons. It’s a beloved nook for groups, accommodating little ones and four-legged companions with equal warmth, setting a tone that’s unpretentious and genuine.

Here, the focus is unmistakably on good company and thoughtfully crafted drinks, highlighted by their rotating selection of big-flavor craft beers. From bold IPAs to lighter sippers, the brews invite exploration through flights or a well-poured pint, each sip echoing the care and character poured into every batch. And though the brewery holds court, the menu weaves in comforting bar bites and shareable plates that feel like an extension of the relaxed mood — think crispy tater tots with a kick, warm pretzels perfect for nibbling, or a Nashville hot chicken dish that carries just the right balance of spice and smoke.

The service hums along smoothly, reflecting a team that moves with genuine attentiveness even when the space fills up. There’s a palpable sense that this is a community favorite still carving out its identity, evident in the welcoming smiles and thoughtful touches that make you feel seen, whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or settling in for the evening’s unfolding rhythms.

Big Storm Brewing Tap Room is more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s a neighborhood anchor where stories are shared across tables, new friendships are forged, and local life feels refreshingly unhurried. A visit here offers the simple joy of being part of a convivial moment, anchored by good flavors and an atmosphere that feels like home without the usual fuss.

Great beer (5 stars), food was ok (3 stars) for an average review of 4 stars. A large group of us ate outside on a Saturday afternoon, where there was of room and tables. It was a chilly afternoon and the space heaters overhead kept us warm. Service was speedy. The loaded tots were good, however the meat of the boneless wings had a strange consistency. The fish sandwich was also a bit bland as well as the fish tacos. I would come back for the beer and maybe some snacks, but not necessarily for a full meal.

We stopped by Big Storm Brewing on Saturday and had a great experience! The service, food, and drinks were all excellent. I had the Philly, and my husband had the chicken Caesar wrap — both were delicious and fresh. You can tell the business is still finding its footing with a smaller staff, but everyone working there did an amazing job keeping things running smoothly and making us feel welcome. It’s clear they really care about their customers and the community. I also learned the company is now under the ownership of the Special Needs Trust to help victims impacted by the prior owner, which makes supporting them even more meaningful. I truly hope they continue to thrive — and that they bring back Tropic Pressure soon! Highly recommend stopping in and showing them some love!

I'm not a craft beer person, so I love how they also have cocktails, seltzers, and wine. Huge outdoor space that is great for groups, pets, and kids. Very casual establishment with some cute merch. I guess they just changed the menu? I didn't see tacos, hummus plate or beer flights listed... And those were some of the highly rated things in past reviews. I ended up getting the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries. It was pretty greasy, but overall fine. Overall the food is a little pricey for the quality and portion size. I came on a Friday during lunch and sat at the bar. The bartender was very inattentive and just seemed to have no personality towards me.

Probably my 10th time in here in the last three years. I've got a shop a couple blocks away. Best experience by far. Music was excellent food was great, and beer in house an all over! Grouper blackened was excellent. Step Bro is still the go to lol My boy Blue reminded me of Christmas! ** this place is always super clean!

The food was amazing. Fish spread was made from scratch and the shrimp was incredible. Hand breaded makes all the difference. This place is a hidden gem. I almost didn't want to post this and make it over run with people but I had to. Thoroughly impressed!

This indoor outdoor venue offers a choice of outdoor covered seating with overhead heaters but I chose indoor seating at the bar instead of accessible tables. Two bars, one indoors and one outdoors provide service of the local craft favorites Service is slow but my burger was grilled to perfection with fresh lettuce leaf and tomato slice hidden under mildly seasoned waffle sweet potato fries. The inside offers views of the working brewery and its many fruits of bourbons and vodkas, including a clementine vodka. Accessible van spaces in front of venue Accessible entry Accessible M and W restrooms with grab bars, not hands free Tonight Johnny is here for 2 hours of Bandingo, a bingo game to match with songs.

Atmosphere is so cool here. Food & beer phenomenal. Staff are fun & absolutely worth stopping at to grab a drink or hang out.

We had such a nice, peaceful, laid back afternoon on the outdoor covered patio here today. My husband’s plane was delayed a few hours, so we came here to kill time. We played Jenga outside, had good food, and still got him to the airport only five minutes away. Our server, Bill, got us fresh waters, and was so great all afternoon. We loved the Bromosa beer and the Strawberry wheat.
