Kingfish Grill and Tap House opened up on Ulmerton Rd. near the Clearwater airport in October 2012. I had eaten in the Italian restaurant that was in the same building for a number of years and wasn’t really impressed so I wasn’t expecting a lot. I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I walked into the place.

The bar area is really open and inviting. About a half dozen stools line each of the three sides. There’s three televisions hanging over the 26 beer taps on back wall of the bar and an island in the middle of the bar area holds bottles and glassware.

The tap list is broken down by style and includes the majority of what I’d call the “normal” styles. Cigar City is represented with some of their mainstays. Some of the other beers were Left Hand Milk Stout on Nitro, Young’s Chocolate Stout, Dogfish Head 60 Minute, Bell’s Oberon, a Kona, a Goose Island and a Windmere Seasonal.

Besides the beers, they feature a full bar and a full kitchen menu with a selection of apps, burgers & sandwiches, steaks, pastas, etc. They have a good sized list of sushi too. We’ve eaten here a couple of times over that last several months and have not been disappointed.
