    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.

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.

    One of the best burgers I've had!…read more This is pirate-themed sports bar in downtown Tampa sitting on the main floor of Skypoint Condominium. 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.

Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there. Know the menu extensively well and can recommend anything that you're craving for. Except for the first guy that we ordered our drinks from I would avoid that person. He was weird.

It's that crisp on the outside that I love. I get it without the tomatoes and no mayo. Next time I'll ask for no crispies as well. I like it just it plain, perfect amount of salty is just my favorite. This place is the best place for Brussel sprouts. I also like to get the breaded cod here I've never had it better anywhere. It tastes & looks like real fresh cod. It is not shiny or glossy like frozen cod. This is the real deal fresh breaded cod. This is a real legit British food. The service is spectacular especially for a downtown bar. This restaurant is very clean. All the staff are just super friendly and they don't rush you at all. Just very sweet wholesome people staffed here. The food here is way better than Yard House 10 out of 10. However, Yard House does have the best onion rings. That's the only thing that I get there with the beer cheese cause that's the only thing that's good there. The only thing I like at Yard House are the onion rings other than that I think the rest of the food is worse than going to Chili's. Yeoman's also has TV screens and the people that come here are not as sleazy as the ones that go to Yard House. Very different clientele thank goodness. This place does not give me the heebie-jeebies when I come in here. The men here are normal and they don't flock the girls like they do at Yard House ICK.

That took away from what could have been a great meal. The prices are just okay--not outrageous, but not a great value either for what you get. Overall, I'd come back for the fish, but I hope they improve the fries.
