Bar in Apollo Beach, Outdoor Waterfront Tiki Bar

Sunset Over a Bartender Pouring Drinksat the Hammer Bar

Elite Food and Drinks. Zero Pretension.

Welcome to the Hammer. Where cocktails are crafted, the food is exceptional, and nobody cares if you’re wearing boat shoes, flip-flops, or yesterday’s questionable decisions.

Sit back and relax at the finest dive bar in Tampa Bay. Crack a bottle of high-end rare spirits, nosh on delicious meals from the full menu of Circles’ kitchen without the fine dining eye-rolls.

Pull up a seat, order something incredible, watch the game, and stay longer than you planned.

Outdoor Tiki Bar

Sunshine tastes better with a drink in hand. Escape to our waterfront paradise and soak up the rays on the patio or private beach lounge. Whether you’re out on a boat cruise or chasing the sunset, this is where the good times roll. Keep cool from the Florida sun with our 15 water misters.
Waterfront View

Some bars have TVs. We have water. (Actually, we have TVS, too.) Take in the waterfront views, in the open air or covered seating, while you sip, snack, and relax. The water laps against the dock, the sun does its thing, and your stress vanishes.
Extensive Bar Menu

A menu designed for indecisive drinkers. Find your favorite classic sips, try our signature drinks, or discover a new, rare pour from within our vault. No overpriced drinks in sight.
No Suits and Ties Required

We’ve got a table for you, whether you’re fresh off the boat, coming straight from work, or chillin’ in flip-flops and shorts. The only fashion rule? Keep your shoes on.

Bar Vibe

The Hammer is everything you don’t expect: premium food and bar selections with high-end finishes but a casual atmosphere and zero pretension.

It’s eclectic and comfortable, mixed with private access and stunning views. We deliver elevated hospitality without taking ourselves too seriously. Great music, friendly faces, waterfront energy, epic drinks, and no status competition in sight.

Basically, it’s everything you’d want in a five-star dive bar.

Eclectic Design

Every corner tells a story at the Hammer. The showpiece of the bar is a hand-fabricated natural stone bar top made of blue agate slabs sourced from Brazil. It’s underlit for a dreamy and elevated moment.

But we keep it real. Yeah, it’s luxe, but it’s also down to earth.

Finished with mismatched tile and bold colors, the Hammer is layered and lived-in. We’ve taken it over the top with premium finishes and grounded it with colorful graffiti that says something, usually something 21 and up.

Private Beach Lounge

With 10,000 square feet of outdoor sand, 100+ palm trees, and a hammock, the private beach is a tropical jungle just for Hammer guests.

Relax on the upper deck, lounge in beach seating on the sand, or sip dockside with seating at water level. Savor a crisp drink and delicious food, and take in the sunset with breathtaking views.

It’s refined yet laid back. Just how we like it.

Premium Bar Selections

There’s something for everyone at the Hammer. Literally.

We’ve hand-selected each item on the menu, offering:

And everything in between, complete with a 20-page drink menu.
