New Yuengling Draft Haus & Kitchen

Yuengling opens Draft Haus & Kitchen in Tampa today.  This is so awesome.  The oldest brewery, D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc., opens its doors today to it’s brand new restaurant which is located right in front of the brewery.

This is something they have been working on for a few years now and it’s finally open.  This place sounds amazing and cannot wait to check it out.

What To Expect At New Draft Haus & Kitchen

The Yuengling website describes it as a place guests can enjoy a first-class dining experience with fresh, local cuisine paired with Yuengling beers.  The new area also has a private dining area, meeting room space if you need.  Because we love being outdoors here in Tampa, they also created an outdoor recreation area and beer garden.  You will also find a gift shop and a soon-to-open coffee bar – all of which are inspired by America’s Oldest Brewery.

There are plenty of seats for everyone, indoor seating is for 300 and outdoor seating for 200. In the coming months, full capacity seating will be for up to 800 guests total (300 indoor and 500 outdoor) with outdoor concessions.  Also coming, the Yuengling Bistro Kitchen, which will include 300-person picnic seating.  An area for outdoor games will also open later this summer.  There will be a total of five bars (three inside and two outside) and 88 tap handles when finished. Private dining and conference rooms are available for up to 120 people for special events.

Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administrative Officer and 6th generation family member said. “For 194 years we have been committed to brewing great beer for every taste. Now, we are proud to have created an incredible gathering place, not just for our beers to be enjoyed, but also a destination for delicious food and family entertainment. We are excited to be invested alongside renowned local organizations that share in our commitment to the future of Uptown Tampa.
