    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.

    See all

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.

It's always mad packed and I never learn a wait time, feels silly but once more. I'm willing to wait because I do love these wings. All in all, love you all. I will always be back. Thank you for holding down the wing scene.

It's a great spot and usually while in Downtown Tampa we walk over, it's across the street from Curtis Hixon Park and few museums. As stated, we normally go during lunch and always pretty dead. Sometimes it feels like a downtown burger secret - sooo if it is I never said a thing. It's offers a full bar, happy hour I'm sure, and I hear it's a popular spot for watching sports. Menu favorites include the "Pirate's Pick" burger, smash burgers, sweet potato fries, onion rings, and sooo much more. Staff is really attentive, always filling drinks and getting anything you need. I will admit the kitchen can be a bit slow, but the staff makes up for it. So if ever at Riverwalk, take a stroll for a great burger and fries and iced cold beer.

Usually when you go to a restaurant with a HUGE menu, you kind of expect everything to be good but nothing to be really great. That's what makes Yard House different. Every meal I've had here has been fresh, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. We had the Korean Beef Cheesesteak, and that thing was SO flavorful and absolutely packed with meat. My husband loves cheesesteaks and said it's one of the best non-Philly cheesesteaks he's had! The fries were great too. I had the Garlic Beef Noodles, and OMG. So good! They're not super spicy at first, but the spice definitely creeps up on you after a few bites. Be prepared for the runny nose! The beef was incredibly flavorful, and everything together with the noodles and veggies was just chef's kiss. My son had the pizza and loved it. He said the dough was crispy on the outside but still soft, with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. And yes, I stole a bite--it was good! We also tried the Hibiscus Mule mocktails. They were refreshing and tasted good, although they were a little heavy-handed with the ginger beer for us. Still enjoyable, just very gingery. Overall, this place continues to be a win for us. Great service, great food, tons of options, and we've yet to have a bad meal here. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Tampa. Now I just need Yard House to bring a location to Jax, because I would probably be there every weekend.

Looking across the river, we spotted Motorworks Brewing and knew it would be exactly what we needed. We were already familiar with their Bradenton location, so we had high expectations, and we were not disappointed. This location sits on the quieter side of the Riverwalk on Harbour Island, occupying a corner spot with beautiful outdoor views of the water. Inside, the bar is the focal point, but the dining area is comfortable, relaxed, and inviting. We grabbed a table for two and were quickly greeted by a friendly server who asked if we were familiar with their beers and recommended a few refreshing options after hearing we'd been out walking in the summer heat. One thing we love about Motorworks is the quality and variety of their craft beer selection. They do all the popular styles well, from IPAs and lagers to porters, while many breweries tend to specialize in just one. On this hot and humid Tampa afternoon, the **Pulp Friction Grapefruit IPA** was the perfect choice. We also tried the **Mango Habanero IPA**, which definitely brought the heat! For food, we shared the **707 Salad** and a **Margherita Pizza**, and it turned out to be the perfect amount for both of us. The salad was fresh and flavorful, with just the right balance of meats and hot peppers for an extra kick. The sourdough pizza had a wonderfully crispy crust, delicious sauce, and just the right amount of basil. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Motorworks Brewing. Their slogan, *"Come for the beer, stay for the food,"* couldn't be more accurate. Between the excellent craft beer, tasty food, friendly service, and waterfront views, we'll definitely be back. **Highly recommended!**

Immediately upon sitting at the bar I was overcome with a moldy smell, like the kind of smell when a counter is whipped with a moldy rag. The smell was overwhelming, and really turned me off. Then one of the staff started vacuuming, right next to where we were sitting. I feel like that's pretty odd thing to do with customers present. I couldn't even have a conversation over the sound of the vacuum cleaner. At this point, we grabbed our beers and finish them outside.
