Went tue mar 24 before lightning game with my wife, ordered wings and burger med well. Burger game out raw and wings where bloody. Sent both back and when they came back wings way to crispy and burger was black. Told server to get the mgr and after 30 min he came over and asked me would I like something else. Told him take it off the check and he did. Won't be back food and service horrible.

Showed up at 4:30 to eat and have a few drinks before a 7:30 hockey game across the street. Place was not crowded when we arrived but 5 min later the place was filling up quick. I found inside to be very loud and very hot. I am always cold so to be sweating while sitting in an inside booth is saying something. I know they just opened so I'll cut the servers a break...but darling...a CCB Jai Alai is not a dark beer which was a suggestion she gave to a friend I was there with. I knew more about their beer menu than she did and had to keep correcting her. The food came out fast amidst the insanity which was a nice surprise. My food which was your run of the mill blue cheese burger and fries were average and I feel they are juuuuust a tad pricy which definitely reflects the fact that the Amalie Arena is right across the street. I think with a bit of tweaking, some reorganization of the indoor layout and better control of the seating situation, this place will be awesome. I'll give them some time and another try some other day. In the meantime my pregame drink and bite will be enjoyed in the Amalie Arena party deck.

We made the mistake of leaving Hattricks to get closer to the game and go to Fergs because Hattricks was so crowded, elbow to elbow,and we knew we were never going to have time to get food before the game so we walked to Fergs and were pleased to be able to sit down inside. Even though they were busy and after stopping three different waitresses trying to place a beer order, I had to go to the bar in a last attempt to get a beer for our table of six. If I ran a bar or a restaurant my customers would never have to try this hard to give me their money. One hour before a Tampa lightning game they only had two bartenders working the entire crowd at the indoor bar. After being passed over multiple times to place a beer order my friend was finally able to place our order. Of course only having two bartenders is managements poor decision however neither girl seemed to be working with a sense of urgency to take everyone's money in exchange for a cold tasty adult beverage. If I was running this bar and saw how slowly these two bartenders were moving, I would fire them both on the spot. Although we were elbow to elbow at Hattrick's I was able to get a beer in a timely manner. I wish I could comment on the food at Fergs however the service was so horrible I was never able to place an order before we had to leave for the game. The only thing Fergs has going for it is location. The service was horrible, the management obviously makes poor decisions, and I will never go back!!! The staff at Hattricks was hustling and bustling and trying to make sure everyone was happy exactly how they should have been and I urge everyone to take their business to Hattrick's over Fergs.

Beware of the fine print, examine your bill closely! A group of us dined there during a lunch break but were disappointed, not so much in the food but with other items. Three members of our group ordered salads with the dressing on the side. One member also ordered an item with the sauce on the side. All four members were charged extra for having the sauce on the side rather than applied by the kitchen. These were not extra dressings, simply requested to be served on the side. Two members ordered a side salad from the menu. Both were given a large salad, obviously more money. When they questioned the waitress, she informed them that they only serve they only have a large salad. The menu specially offers both a side and large salad. Ferg's made no offer to adjust the costs even after the diners pointed out the problem. I had the wings, if you are familiar with the wings served by Ferg's in St.Petersburg, there is no comparison. The size of wings at the original Ferg's dwarf what is being served in Tampa. But on a positive side, I did have a burger at the Tampa location that was enjoyable. The Tampa location is also a little pricer, $12 burgers, $1.00 per wing which isn't terribly high but other Channelside locations serve the same for less. We weren't overly impressed but the biggest complaint is how they slip extra charges onto your bill.
(2)Martic R.
They definitely have a great location right across from the Arena, this should become the new pre hockey spot soon. Because they just opened their menu and service needs to get more organized. During my first visit they had a few items on the menu that they were not offering, for my second visit they had a new menu. Not sure what the final one will be like but it looks like burgers, wings, sandwiches and appetizers will be part of it. I tried the hummus and was not impress but I have high hopes for the food some of my friends tried other dishes and liked them. Best thing about this bar is the outside patio and the live band. There is free parking but don't know if that applies on game days or events nights. It looks like they have a very selective menu for events (wings, burgers and hot dogs) I hope this is just because they recently opened and not a regular situation because that may become a decision maker for bar hang out for me.
(4)Ryan G.
I've been here at least 6 times. Everytime is a blast! Great place to watch any game or even have some drinks before a hockey game. Food was much better than your typical sports bar. Staff was extremely friendly.
(5)Michael G.
Horrible service. Had to interrupt a team meeting to get ketchup. Even with the limited menu they didn't have the item my wife and I ordered. The sign outside says crafts beers. I asked for a list and was shown a hand written list of 6 beers. Maybe 2 of which were craft. Won't be there again. Too many better places to eat in the area.

DON'T GO HUNGRY!!!! As a St Pete native, transplanted to Tampa and a SPPD family with roots to the original Ferg's, I was very excited for this new venue. I was even more excited to check it out when a favorite local band was booked. AND I can bring my dog!!! YAY! Well, I wish my experience was as fantastic as the selling points of trying this place. What you don't know is they really don't seem to be too excited to serve you or let you spend your money. The first thing I noticed was A LOT of servers but A LOT of standing around. Which, hey whatever, it wasn't that busy and as long as we have drinks, who cares, we are there for the night. BUT.......They have a policy that you can not order food off of the main menu if there is any sort of event across the street at the Amalie Arena as their kitchen apparently isn't set up to serve inside patrons as well as outdoor. I happened to go on a day when the Tampa Bay Storm was playing. So if you choose to be outside (with the band and a dog) then you are forced to order, self serve, from the shanty pick up window off the side of the bar. It is a limited menu consisting of hamburgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs and wings. WINGS! Great I thought. I mean you really come to Ferg's to get wings right? Well no. Your ONLY option is HOT. I was quickly told that "the hot, really isn't that hot". WOW OKAY, I can't get the flavor I want but if I WAS a fan of hot, then I'd also not get what I came for. Hmmmm. My next question was if I could just get them naked with salt and pepper. Sure you can get them naked but you have to put your own salt and pepper on as they don't have it behind the window. Hmm. As we decided to just hold off a bit and avoid the window. We got the idea that maybe we could come inside and order ToGo and just bring it outside and eat. Nope that is not an option either.(Even though they offer ToGo service) (Should have gone with the asking for forgiveness instead of permission). Apparently ordering ToGO "takes away business from the pick up window". Um what? Are there two restaurants here? We planned to be there most of the night and in addition to ordering food, were planning to have drinks the majority of the night. Feeling very hungry and frustrated, I spoke to a female assistant manager, I apologized for my misunderstanding of any of these odd policies as no one has said anything publicly and its so far fetched, there's no way anyone could imagine this would be the situation to be able to plan accordingly. I additionally asked her how we could mediate this since I (now feeling like a bad decision) brought the dog and wasn't interested in ordering from the window. Her basic response was there was nothing she could do. I even asked if it would be an option to order off the main menu after the small sized Storm crowd left, leaving less stress on the kitchen? Nope, Not possible. The Storm crowd came and went leaving maybe a dozen and a half patrons split between inside and out. As I went in to use the restroom, leaving the dog with a friend, I had to step around 3 servers and the same manager standing in the bathroom. Surprisingly they didn't leave but stood and continued to gossip about various customers as well as complain how they didn't want to be there because it was so slow and wanted to get cut for the night. WOW. So its so slow you want to go home (I was a sever...I get it) but there is an endless supply of excuses on why a customer can not get served at your restaurant focused on inability due to volume and yet servers are wanting to go home? Graciously, the same friend offered to watch the dog while the rest of us went inside to eat (while we also missed our friend's band play, which in reality was the sole reason we decided to go ahead and come to Ferg's that night). We all had a hard time spending further money on food after the way things went earlier, but we felt we had little choice. The food we did order was fine and came out quickly. If you decide to come down with dinner or lunch plans, do your research and check to make sure there are no events. Big crowd, little crowd or no crowd, it won't matter and you will not get served. I will not come back as I have no tie to Amalie so that is not a selling point to me and there are too many other venues with live music indoors and outdoors where you can drink, catch a game AND eat and not have to worry about this silly lack of training and dysfunctionality.

As busy as this place is for the Pacman vs Mayweather fight, service has been EXCELLENT! Best service I've had in awhile.
(5)K.L. R.
Been coming here for the hockey games when I'm not attending the actual game across the street. They have a huge patio area and a big inside area too! Free parking in their lot across the street too. They have good food at reasonable prices with a grill outside too. The waitresses seem to be on top of things and there is cornhole outside as well. There is usually a DJ who plays at the top part of the patio which is cool too. My new go to for something non-soho!
(4)Katy S.
This is the perfect location for Ferg's to open in Tampa. Right near the Lightning, this has already become a very popular spot. I have been here twice (on the same day, actually). It was Labor Day and a lot of places weren't open so I met some friends here for afternoon cocktails and a soft pretzel and then came back later in the day for dinner. We had different servers both times and both were very attentive. They have decent drink specials. I loved the soft pretzels, which were served warm with some sweet honey mustard on the side. The wings were spicy and fresh and there was a fun atmosphhere! This will certainly become a go to sports watching spot for me!
(4)Lisa M.
This newly renovated bar is an excellent addition to the downtown Tampa and Channelside area. There are lots of tables indoors as well as two outdoor patio areas. The service is quick and the atmosphere is fun. The live band plays on a deck above the outdoor patio which is really cool! There are lots of tvs to watch games.
(4)Kim B.
I'm rating 2 stars for the food only. The atmosphere is great especially during hockey season. Curious how busy it will be for football. Outside the menu is limited - burger and wings like you would get at the stadium. I had higher hopes for the inside menu. We both got burgers and it was really bland. No seasoning on the patty at all. If I closed my eyes I probably couldn't tell what it was. The fries were decent. And the burger was over $10! Go to The Refinery for the same price and get a ridiculous awesome burger. But I'll be back, just not for the food.
(2)Em S.
This is THE place to pregame and grab food before heading to the arena for a game or concert. I gave Fergs 4 stars because it is a great time, however the parking situation isn't the best...with that said it is located downtown so no place really has convenient parking. The service is pretty decent given the high volume of customers they get on game nights. The staff members are fast and friendly. The music is fun for all ages and isn't just one set genre. Fergs offers connect four, life size jenga, dancing, etc. I really enjoyed the chicken Caesar salad. Prices were fair. I don't recall there being any drink specials. You won't leave broke though! I love that the outside area is spacious so you're not tripping over everyone else and there is also an open inside area as well so you can avoid the hot summer sun. The decor is modern unlike the original fergs in St Pete. It's a sports bar, so expect sports to be playing on every tv if you're going on a date there, ladies!

I visited Fergs on a Friday for lunch with a friend. We thought that we would give it a try. The restaurant sits directly across from Amalie Arena in that barren waste land of parking lots. We arrived about 12:30pm and found the restaurant filled with about 30 or so people. Clearly this is a sports bar/restaurant with a lot of TV's. The menu is pretty basic- burgers, wings, fries, salads with crafty sporty names. We ordered the hummus to start and as my guest could not eat bread we asked them if they possibly had cucumber- we were told, no. So we asked if they could cut up some tomato and they said yes. The hummus arrived, nothing special- cold hummus with pita corners and well, there us have it. For lunch I ordered 10 naked wings and a house salad, and my friend had a burger with no bun. The food was average and satisfied us without overly impressing on any level. The wings were crunchy and cooked as I asked- extra crunchy. They are not breaded wings- which I like. I had the sweet Thai chili sauce on the side. The service was adequate and prompt. As I said, nothing at all spectacular about the food or the atmosphere, just an overall satisfactory visit. Would I go again- probably not. You can get similar food or better at any Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday's if that is what you like.

My hubby and I love going to Ferg's in St. Pete for their wings...so when we finally had a chance to go to the Ferg's in Tampa (closer to our house), I was craving some garlic parmesan wings. So we go there on a Saturday night with no event going on at the arena. Already feeling kind of weird because at 6:45 on a Saturday when other places are hopping with dinner patrons, there were maybe 15 people inside and out total (30 if you count the number of servers just standing around). Most of them were there for a soccer game. After getting the menu, I didnt have a good vibe...one page very limited menu, which is nothing like Ferg's in St. Pete. They claim to have the best wings but there are only 5 kinds....and garlic parmesan isnt one of them. I ask the server why and she said "oh we're owned by different companies....they just let us use their name." I should have left. Seriously thought about it. So I sucked it up and got the mild wings (which were meaty and good) and the margarita flatbread (which was horribly bland...no spices, nothing...just bread cheese and tomatoes...) By the way, the band started playing to a pretty much empty crowd. Have to feel sorry for the band. The really sad part is that Ferg's is the only restaurant/entertainment in this part of Tampa. You would think on a Saturday night that there would be people milling around....but it was a ghost town. I would imagine that Ferg's is able to survive on hockey season profits to balance out nights like this. Server was nice, food was just okay, very disappointed overall. Expected better based on past experience at the REAL Ferg's. If you aren't going to serve a full selection of decent wings, you shouldn't have the right to be called Ferg's.

Ferg's Live is in a great spot located right across from Amalie Arena. It is sure to do well with the consistent flow of traffic from Amalie's events. The decor is sports-themed and very creative from the wall of floor-to-ceiling hockey sticks to the "Balls to the Wall." There is live music and the acts perform from a stage located from above and there is lots of seating throughout the bar. However, there is not much shade outside and it can get very hot and humid, welcome to Florida! I didn't get a change to try the food but plan on going back and trying the food soon.
(3)Mitch L.
Went here for soft opening and had an icy cold beer before the Bolt's game. 300-400 people and nice crowd. Hard opening March 26th. I'll be there!!!!!
(5)Ali C.
Good location and glad they are in Tampa across from Amalie Arena, but that is what will keep them busy . . . not the service or the food. I enjoy Ferg's in St Pete and have been going for years, but I feel the food quality has gone down. I used to swear by their wings and they were meh at both locations recently. Maybe he is buying in bulk with multiple locations now. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have live music. If they are still there next hockey season I'm sure I will go back between that and Hatricks until Channelside gets back on its feet these are really the only options, oh and Gilligan's.
(2)Leighann S.
I've been here twice since they opened. I love the setup with a large outdoor area and a large inside as well as a stage and an upstairs. So much room! This is a great location to pre game before concerts and sporting events at the Amalie Arena. The service was slow though both times I was there but hopefully after being open for a while they will get better! I enjoyed beers on a Sunday with friends then drinks and dinner with my softball team. I ordered the sweet potato fries with the raspberry and white chocolate. They were delicious but very sweet...like a dessert.
(4)Rose O.
A great location. Loved the outdoor space. Although it started to rain there was plenty of room inside for our group. Its a fun gathering place even if your not attending an event. Staff was friendly.
(4)Zsolt H.
Hmmmmmm Well bad business Moto. I can't say anything about the food since I didn't get any but how can a bar let people drink water take up seats. B yes they are busy because of playoffs but every seat almost has water and maybe one appetizer. Maybe one. And that includes the bar seatin 7 guys/ girls have water and nothing else. At least sell Booze .... Oh well ... Not my bar/ restaurant but wow. Lots of money is walking by .... Oh by the way they had about 7 waiters just standing around while the bartender were working their butts off for the ones that did buy food and drinks instead of water and one appetizer for a table of 4 or 5 or even 8 .... Lol hope the owner loves loosing $ .... Kinda sad ... And again this is based on just the business side since I never got to taste the food....
(3)Crystal J.
Always such a great time and amazing service! Heather D. Is such a great server, very personable and outgoing! Honestly we have never had a bad experience the entire staff seems to really love their jobs. It says a lot about their management staff! Great place to come before or after a concert or game! Also a great spot for entertainment wonderful bands and fun atmosphere!
(5)Brian M.
Located right across from the Amelie Hockey Arena downtown near Channelside, this is a great location for people pre-partying for hockey games or concerts! There are a ton of TV screens indoors and outdoors and a live band outdoors on an elevated platform. The ambiance has a modern renovated look to it. There is a wall made entirely of hockey sticks which I thought was a nice homage to hockey. The beer selection and food selection is a bit basic currently and only limited to a 1 page menu. I hope they expand upon their menu and beer selections. They have the basic burgers, wings, and Philly sandwich bar food. They're missing grilled chicken tacos, fish tacos, and grilled mahi mahi burger. I got the hot wings and my buddy got the Philly sandwich. Both were pretty good. Service was good and food came out in a timely fashion. We had to go indoors to hear the game audio. Outdoors area has live music playing. My buddy went to the Fergs Live St Patricks Day bash and they had a ton of people, fireball ice luge, and one of those shot skis. There is free parking available right in front of the place. Unfortunately the space that Fergs took over has been an unlucky spot for businesses to succeed in the past for whatever reason. I'm really hoping that they can succeed and do well in this space. This place offers table service, has a full liquor bar, does not offer any happy hour specials yet, & is not good for dancing but that may change depending on which live band is playing. Fergs Live Tampa website just points to their facebook page. There is no menu or drink specials listed online. Since they just opened, they still need to polish out a lot of details so it may be too early to give this place a fair full review. Is this place better than the Hooters down the street? I'd say it's a close call. I give Fergs the edge for having a live band but give Hooters the edge for having a larger menu with tons of seafood options, more wing sauces, and cool specialty drink options.
(4)Brent A.
Worst managed bar in tampa. Took 20 minutes for bartender to even take drink order. Funny, bartenders spend more time opening bucket beers than focusing on customers at bar. If it was my bar, I would have bar backs opening beers for low margin buckets, to allow bartenders to focus on patrons and higher margin liqueur drinks. Or move buckets to a bar dedicated to beer buckets. Unless Fergs figures out how to serve patrons it will fail. To many other good bars in the neighborhood. Fyi I wrote this tomb while waiting on trying to place my second drink order,.
(1)Handr O.
We visited for the first time and it happened to be an hour before a Storm game. The staff were plentiful and friendly; the crowd was small and there was ample seating. We prefer cheaper prices for bar food and drinks, but overall the prices were pretty average for the area. Great live music outside and 37 televisions inside. A nearby person ordered the pretzel appetizer and it looked delicious. We would've stayed longer but we're on a budget and the happy hour prices were a little more than what we wanted to spend today. We WILL be back to watch the Lightening during the playoffs because this place is probably crazy fun during the games!!
(3)Lori P.
Food was good, ferg sauce is good. Service a little slow but food makes it worth it!

When this place first opened, I worried that it would be too ridiculously hot to use the outside space but at least so far, it has been surprisingly comfortable. I was also pleasantly surprised that they don't charge cover and that they NORMALLY do a pretty good job with big crowds. Lots of bars and buckets to ensure pretty fast service. Shockingly usually not too long of bathroom lines. Overall, it has been a great place to watch several nighttime lightning games over the past few months. The Philly cheese steak is normally very good, drink prices are pretty decent (doubles for $9!), I like live music, and I like the big screen they project games on. 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 for not being prepared to host the big crowds for Stanley Cup. Was there last Saturday on the smaller front patio area (smaller than big main patio but still probably a good 30 people out there) and they only had one server. She was doing her best but was completely slammed and it took more than 30 mins to get drinks we ordered. The waitress was bringing out our drink tabs for us to sign 20 mins before our drinks would arrive. One of the drinks had no alcohol in it so we had to send it back and didn't get it back for 45 mins after reminding the waitress twice. The beer tubs were still fast but we had no cash and wanted liquor, so ordering from the waitress was our only option. Finally things cleared out and I ordered a Philly cheese steak that showed up quickly but with no CHEESE. Waitress brought up a cup of "cheese" to dump on it but it was gross and tasted like mayo. Felt too bad to send it back but it was not edible so annoyed I had to spend $12 on it. Need more servers on the clock for the next Stanley Cup game but I will probably try to avoid the madness and watch elsewhere.

We came during a Lightning game (Ferg's Live is right across the street from Amalie Arena) hoping to enjoy a fervent game-time crowd and atmosphere. We were relatively disappointed. Upon entering it was apparent that the concept was well-conceived but the execution still needs work. The outside area appears to be as much as four times the size as the indoor dining area, which is perfect since our climate allows outdoor dining most of the year. The TV's are well-placed and ubiquitous. While the sound for the Lightning game could be heard in the indoor part of the bar, management refused to put the sound on outside. To her credit, when we asked our bartender about the sound she went and checked with her manager and returned to give us the bad news. This would have been a minor annoyance, but the sound from the game came at the expense of loud, blaring techno music. It sounded like a club in Ybor, but scanning the crowd, I didn't see any 22-year-olds. The crowd was a nice mix of young professionals and sports fans in their 30's and 40's - so whom are they catering to and what crowd are they trying to attract? To be fair, I look for three things in a sports bar here in Tampa Bay: plenty of screens, plenty of OUTDOOR seating, and sound from the major sports attraction that is currently airing. Loud music AFTER the Lightning game might be a good marketing strategy to bring in the crowd spilling out of Amalie, but why does anyone presume I want to watch the Lightning game on mute or to a soundtrack that I would expect on 7th Avenue? The food is typical bar fare and the beer selections are unoriginal, which will appeal to the masses. I don't eat animal products, and to their credit, Ferg's did have a number of animal-free options. Despite the annoying atmosphere, which basically foiled our plan of enjoying the Lightning game, we ordered a couple of beers and sweet potato waffle fries. Unfortunately our bartender misunderstood our order and brought us what Ferg's calls "Sweet Baby Fries", which are sweet potato fries, but they are smothered in BBQ pulled pork, cheddar cheese, and diced onions. Our waitress was apologetic for the mistake and quickly put in the correct order. Nothing about the food was fast. Each order took over 15 minutes to come out. The correct ("plain") sweet potato fries were sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar and were relatively uninspiring. Our bartender's mistake and the speed of the food are minor inconveniences that I am willing to attribute to the growing pains of a new venture (they have only been open for a few weeks). We will try this place again in hopes that they will solve their identity crisis and offer a true sports bar atmosphere that is lacking in downtown Tampa. Note: if you are familiar with Ferg's in downtown St. Pete, the similarities end with the name. From what I have read, this is a venture of Jay Mize (Irish 31), who simply negotiated a deal to use the "Ferg's" name. It is not a "second location" or franchise.

First time at the Tampa location. Came in to watch baseball. Was surprised to find out that Fergs doesn't have the MLB Ticket. So we left. The place looks nice inside and outside. Not at all busy--which isn't surprising since it's across from Amalie Arena and hockey season is over. We assumed it had the Ticket since it's a sports bar.....but since we came out to watch baseball, we left. Now heading to Press Box.
(2)Yurit D.
Great for sports! Spinach dip watery. Margherita flatbread blah! Wings are good tho. Beer selection ok. Margaritas can be good depending on bartender. It's inconsistent.
(3)Ben R.
Tons of TVs, tons of bars....what more could you ask for? Fergs does it right for a sports arena sports bar...no wait for drinks and plenty of options to watch the game....great place!
(4)Bob K.
Avoid This Place, Like the Plague! I live within walking distance to this Bar. The food is mediocre but overpriced. They wanted $8 for a precooked hamburger, that had been sitting under a warming lamp for who knows how long. The drinks are overpriced for the area as well. $8 for a 12 ounce beer in a plastic cup? Geeze! The waitress and bartenders, while cute, have absolutely no personality. I was hoping to have a good new place to hangout, but this place is only there to take your money and offer no value. It has a lot of TVs but no comfortable seating. DONT GO HERE! unless you want to waste your money on crappy food and even crappier service! Then its all good.
(1)L R.
Great place to go before any event at the arena. Went for a Lightning playoff game watch party and had a blast. The place was so crowded that the Fire Marshall wouldn't allow more people in. All employees were professional and friendly. Tip - if going for a large event, be sure to bring cash. The mini bars outside do not take debit or credit cards.
(5)Christopher S.
General manager Sean hooked me and my 15 buddies up with a great table. The waitress was amazing and the food was really good. This place is gonna be a channelside legend for years to come.
(5)Kathryn F.
We went there at 1245 to watch the hockey playoffs. Had trouble getting a table, but luckily families were there to see "Frozen" the arena...so people were leaving. If you sit outside, you have to order from the kitchen. Hot wings are crispy the way we like them. They have live music almost daily. Love this place.
(5)Deborah F.
Fun spot for drinks. Love the many TVs to watch the Tampa Bay teams and love the huge outdoor area. Have been three times, have not yet tried any food. The area needed a fun hangout bar and Ferg's Live fits the bill.
(4)Line W.
Ferg's has become our must go to bar, so glad you're now in the neighborhood. Great entertainment, good happy hour and fun place to watch pre-game fun. Shouts out to our great bartender Crystal who went above and beyond for us when we were entertaining out of town guests...thanks again...be back soon.
(4)Cassandra S.
Super fun place to hang out before any events at Amalie arena. We came here before a hockey game in the place is packed! A live dj was super awesome. The place was busy but the time to be able to get a drink was reasonable and it was still affordable. Definitely a place that I will frequent before going to any event near channel side or amlie arena.
(5)Deniese M.
Where do I start? The drinks are not strong. I am by no means cheap and tip good but $9 for a the smallest cup of liquor Isn't ok. While she was pouring my drink the bottle ran out and it was clearly not enough for a drink so the bartender just put a whole bunch of juice on top and I guess thought I wouldn't notice it was more juice than liquor. The pulled pork fries weren't that great. It came with sweet potatoes fries that had a cinnamon flavor that didn't go well with the cheap, out the can tasting pulled pork. Our waitress *barely* came around and it was NOT a busy night at all (tuesday). When we needed something we ended up just going to bar to get it or had to Waite for her to come around. Not that it mattered but I found it odd that the same drink was 8.41 from waitress and $9 from bar. The donut puck things were so greasy on the inside I couldn't get through one of them.... disappointed. The only upside is the location. Channelside is a great area to go and have a relaxing evening.

The Walmart of sports bars!!! Wait staff is uncoordinated and lazy, management more worried about getting people in the door than actually serving them. Been multiple times over the past month and the nail in the coffin was finally delivered when our waitress said, "can you go to the bar and order because I'm tired of bringing stuff out". Wow. Good thing there are other customer-friendly businesses within walking distance.
