  O'Toole's is about the most Irish pub I've found in the Tampa area. They've got a relatively small selection of beers for my taste, however there's enough 'craft' or 'local' beers on the list that you won't feel stifled by the standard 'Mericuh beers.
  
  The food is superior and not too expensive. I've been moving through the menu for a while now and haven't felt any disappointment in any dish (save for the Shepherd's Pie, due to its lack of lamb). The wings are on point, the Irish Egg Rolls are amazing, I could go on.
  
  You can sit inside or outside, and outside has plenty of shade for mid day and protects most everyone from moderate rainstorms.
  
  All in all, fun, not expensive, great food, and lots of good beer. I love it here.

  My husband and I went here with our two young daughters, newborn and 4y/o. We were excited to returned b/c I had been be craving their Irish egg rolls after trying them for the first time following our initial visit to the restaurant after newly moving to the area. We sat down and waited. We waited for about 5 minutes at first, employees were walking by us, they knew we were there but never came over. There was 5 table max in the restaurant when we arrived there, including us, so they were not that busy when we arrived. I went up to the bar to ask for menus, 5 minutes later the bartender came to drop of menus and said she'll will be right back. 15-20 minutes went by, other tables had came in and she went over to them and they were taken care of before us. This whole time the bartender and rest of the staff would walk right by us to take care of other tables that came in after us, they would discuss our table and look over at our family as if to determine who was going to take the table with children, and each look on their faces was a "no" I'm not taking that table. I was so disappointment, we have a newborn and our window for dining out is very small and I was very thrilled to get out of the house, but it was a half an hour b4 our order was even taken, and by the time the food came we couldn't even enjoy ourselves and needed to wrap it up early b/c by then the baby started to get agitated and need to start heading home. Hard to even enjoy ur food when you are treated as an inconvenience to the staff. It really made me sad that b/c we had our babies with us we were looked as a lower priority. The inside bartender was the one who took other patrons before us, the waitress had no desire to take care of us and the outside bartender gave us a dirty look like, I don't have time to take care of them". Been in the industry myself for many years and this was not bad service due to them being overly busy, that I can always understand, this was a rude staff who prioritizes their guest based on who they think is going to benefit them best at the end of the day. I should not have to fear bad service every time I bring my babies with me to a restaurant.
  So thank you O'Tooles for ruining one of my very few outings I get these days and hopefully u will try harder next time to not discriminate against ur tables. EVERYONE deserves a good experience when spending their very hard earned money. I also tend to tip more when I bring my children out with us, I know they can make a but of a mess and want to compensate the staff for having to clean up after them, so next time u see a family don't automatically assume it's going to be a crappy table "tip wise". Only rude and discriminatory service can almost guarantee that.
  Sincerely,
  A tired mommy who just wanted a nice meal and quality time out of the house with her family.
