In 2007, the country's first
World of Beer opened in Tampa and now franchisees across the country operate dozens of locations throughout the Southeast and up the East Coast. World of Beer has even expanded to China and South Korea in recent years. The beer bar and laid-back restaurant hosts an all-day party at its OG Westchase location that’s filled with food and drink specials, appearances from OG bartenders, a complimentary cookout, raffles every 30 minutes and live music from Tequila Boys at 8 p.m.
The beer-focused chain with over 60 locations worldwide is known for its massive tap list, variety of can and bottle options, and hearty menu of chicken wings, flatbreads, burgers, sandwiches and more.
There’s no cover for the OG World of Beer’s 17th anniversary party happening Saturday, Feb. 17 at 9524 W Linebaugh Ave. in Westchase. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
