    We had a great time playing trivia and having drinks. Great smashburger with fries. The bartenders were friendly and the trivia was fun. Lots of people great vibe exciting environment.

    Update - just went through these reviews as well as Google Reviews, and it looks like this is common practice for this establishment. DISGUSTING!! They should be sued for assault, endangering minors, and intimidation. I just witnessed this guy take money from a couple of under age girls to let them get in the bar. However, it looked like another girl refused to give him money, and he got very aggressive, and literally slapped her hand. I don't care if the girls were right, or wrong. It was infuriating to see this guy hit a girl half his size and age...COWARD!! I think the guy pulling him back, saw it happen too. This establishment needs to be careful, before they get slapped with a lawsuit for assault and getting paid on the side to let under age kids get in.

    The place to be in soho!!! Newly remodeled outdoor HUGEEE patio, drink/food specials ALLL the time. Helpful staff. Amazing boneless crispy wings!!!! This is truly the definition of a BAR, as you will come here and guaranteed to meet someone to chat with haha! Everyone is so friendly, and if there are ever any problems, security is on it ASAP. My applause to the owner! Very affordable drinks/food, especially considering this is a very college populated area. -1 star because this place does tend to get TOO crowded on weekends and there's barely any room to walk.

    Was out on date night with my wife and stopped by Timpano for a cocktail…read more It was later in the night, so the bar wasn't too busy. We ordered 2 cocktails and was surprised how delicious they were. The bartender was attentive and very friendly. Did not try the food, YET! But we have to be back to try their menu.

I've had better pasta at chain restaurants for half the price. The only reason this review isn't one star is because the calamari was actually good. That's it. That's the list of positives. My first pasta came out with a tomato sauce that legitimately tasted like someone diluted a spoonful of tomato paste in a cup of water and poured it over noodles. It had zero body, zero seasoning, zero depth. It tasted like warm pasta water. I've never sent a meal back in my life, but this one had to go. The server was kind and brought out a pesto pasta with grilled chicken. Somehow that was worse. The pesto was basically nonexistent -- no garlic, no basil punch, no richness. Just bland noodles and chicken. Sent that back too. Third attempt? Overcompensated with salt. It was so salty I just shook my head and told her it was fine because at that point I was done. Three tries. Three misses. I understand it was Valentine's Day and restaurants get busy. But being busy doesn't excuse flavorless sauces and poorly executed pasta. Michelin recognition sets expectations. This experience didn't even come close. This was beyond disappointing. I won't be back.

You're seated in these small, semi-private rooms with an open doorway, so you can kind of see other people, but it still feels secluded and tucked away. I honestly loved that setup. It felt like our own little space without being completely closed off. Now let's talk about the drinks... I love whiskey, and the chocolate chip cookie old fashioned was AMAZING. Super unique and honestly one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. We also got the banana foster and it did not disappoint. Everything felt elevated and worth the price. Yes, it's definitely more expensive than just going out for ice cream, but the whole experience makes it worth it. If you're looking for something different, cozy, and a little more upscale for dessert and drinks, this place is 100% worth trying.

However, I've been pretty underwhelmed every time I've come here. I really want to love their wings, but Hattricks is just in another stratosphere compared to everywhere else in Tampa Bay. I got 16 wings for $30 - 25% = $22.50 and I had half "soon to be famous" and half garlic parmesan. I thought both were just okay at best. I also tried at $14 dirty martini. It was pretty standard. And I tried the $15 espresso martini. I would not order an espresso martini here again. I enjoyed playing trivia and there are a bunch of TV's to watch a game. I guess I need to try something here other than wings. I don't know every time I come here I always wonder why I'm not at Hattricks instead. Automatic 20% tip added onto your bill if you forget to close out.
