What The Greene Turtle Is All About
The Greene Turtle is more than just a bar and grill — it’s a place where locals and visitors converge over good food, big screens, and a welcoming atmosphere. The concept leans into the sports bar model (think televised games, casual eats, drink specials) while also promoting a community feel.
At the Tampa location, you’ll find:
- Hours that cater to both lunch and late-night crowds — open Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Friday–Saturday until 11:00 p.m.
- Gameday specials, including deals on tall domestic drafts, wings, and their “world famous crab dip.”
- Party & catering services, meaning the venue is ready to host groups, celebrations, and company events.
- Reward / loyalty program, which is a staple of the Greene Turtle brand to encourage repeat visits.

Though the full menu is available online, a few highlights tip you off to what makes The Greene Turtle stand out:
- Wings & Appetizers — perfect to share on game days. Their boneless wings and signature crab dip are already fan favorites.
- Pub Classics & Bar Food — burgers, sandwiches, and fish & chips headline a comfort-food lineup.
- Cocktails & Beer — tall domestic draft specials, a full bar, and lifted cocktails add flavor to every visit.

The Tampa opening is a chance for the brand to set a tone: bold, fun, and community-centered.
