Being relatively new to Tampere, I've been surprised at the number of places advertising hot wings. I heard SiipiWeikot was *the* place to go, so I decided to pay a visit on a Wednesday night with a friend.
The dining and bar area on the second floor definitely has a rustic pub feeling that fits the unassuming facade. The place wasn't crowded, and we easily found a table and placed an order. The beer selection is rather limited -- Foster's seems to be the norm, and Krušovice Cerne for the dark beer. I had one of each throughout the meal.
I ordered 20 wings with medium spice, and we shared an order of fries. Perhaps it's because I'm used to mutant chickens in the USA, but I was disappointed that the wings were quite small. They were accompanied by the usual suspects -- blue cheese dipping sauce, celery, carrots. I will say the sauce was quite tasty, but "medium" is very medium in this case -- don't fear the spice here.
I'm glad I visited SiipiWeikot, but for me it didn't really live up to the hype -- feels like an average wings place. Worth a visit, but next time I'll branch out and see what else Tampere wings joints have to offer. read more
