It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it's cool, dark, and packed with regulars. The bar dominates the space, with a few tables along the edges. Service was quick, and drink options included Guinness, a local IPA, and a canned Surfside vodka cocktail. Their tap list isn't posted anywhere, so you have to peek toward the back to see what's available. The menu is classic pub fare at moderate prices. We tried three of their seven burgers- Classic Cheeseburger, Cajun Nacho Burger, and Portobello Burger-plus fries and a huge portion of onion rings. Everything was tasty and well prepared. Great little spot for good pub food at a fair price. Worth stopping in if you're in the area.

Your name alone brings a smile on my face…read more I had a month where I would just end up spawning here. No rhyme or reason but with I'm not upset about it, I just happened to stumble through the door. But name a better place to do so at? At late hours, yeah, you can't buddy.

Ok yeah sure let's do it. But that's not the end. The menu is extensive, the bag is deep and filled with tricks. Daily specials, yup. Dessert, yup. Full bar, yup. It's a fun spot. Inside/outside seating. Green iguana next door. Yeah a dangerous duo. Kobe and Shaq vibes. Vintage Bron and D-wade. Give it a go. Get off that Water St. pedestal you are on. Visit a real dive bar and live your life.

This location isn't as swamped as the St Petersburg location. There was plenty of parking and lots of room to sit down. We chose to sit at the bar. Dave W ordered a fruity mocktail (Bartender's choice), and I ordered a fruity cocktail (Bartender's choice). The drink I got was 'Sex On The Beach' ($3.25). The cocktail was tasty with a slight kick. Later I ordered another and told her to make it a double ($5.25). The second drink had a big kick! I ordered the Shrimp Dinner ($14.77) choosing to have the shrimp grilled and it came with broccoli and yellow rice. I substituted fries for the rice. Dead Bob's fries are special. The shrimp didn't look grilled to me. That cost them a star. Other than that I have no complaints about the service or atmosphere.

Good start. Food (Burgers w/ fries and Onion Rings). Truly, one of the absolute best burgers I have had in several years! No kidding. Nothing like my previous experience. Great food & great service. Seriously, give them a try. Also, they are Local, another reason to try them out! Only negative is there is a small added charge to use a credit card. Really not a fan of this kind of policy but on a $20 something bill the fee was only about .50 Overall I strongly recommend Hendersons, I will definitely be returning again!

The wings are done slightly crispy on the outside and juicy ok the inside. I can't tell you much about the rest of the food as I haven't tried it...lol. But the wings are a home run. The restaurant is bar style so not everyone will like the atmosphere, but service is great and they are all enthusiastic about the wings. We will almost always come here if chicken wings are on our list to grab. I'd def reco recomend you try thme out!

I visited Bilmar Station last night with friends and my spouse after celebrating here a few months…read moreago and having such a great experience that I wanted to come back. The atmosphere delivered again. Bingo and karaoke were a lot of fun, and the wings were solid. That said, one interaction left a lasting impression. When our tacos were delivered, everyone at the table had ordered beef except for my spouse, who had one chicken taco. We asked the food runner, Brian, if he could help us identify which taco was the chicken so she didn't accidentally eat beef. Instead of assisting, he threw his hands up, mumbled under his breath, shook his head, and walked away while we were still asking a simple question. The reaction felt dismissive and unnecessary given the situation. While I stepped away from the table, I was told he later returned to apologize and shared that he had been yelled at in the back and took that frustration out on us. I appreciate the apology and understand that everyone has tough moments. I also learned he has been there a long time and may face personal challenges. Even so, guests should never feel the impact of internal stress. Respect and basic communication are part of the hospitality experience. To their credit, the bartender stepped in and comped my last round of wings, which felt like a genuine effort to make things right and was appreciated. I still had a good night overall, but the interaction left a lasting impression that I won't forget. Bilmar Station has a fun vibe and good food, and I hope this feedback helps ensure the guest experience stays consistent.

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.
