Taps & Tequila

Groupon led me to this comfy bar community along the outskirts of Downtown St. Pete and I'm pleased enough to return again in the future.

DRINKS
Tequilas are the quirk here... FLAVOR-INFUSED tequilas. Tequilas salt-in-hand-suck-lemon are normally the equivalent of an exploding gas tank to my sober state... but how can I say no to a signature item? My cucumber cilantro and my partner's fruity tequila version did not convert us into tequila worshippers, (and one drink did destroy my sober-ness a bit) but I was still pleasantly surprised to enjoy it. AND drink it slowly. Tequila lovers will definitely love this place.

There's several dozen craft beer as well... and cider for me! I haven't heard of some of those names...

FOOD
The appetizers were half-assed but at least contained more than the typical buffalo wings and fries bar food. Most items (like the mac-n-cheese and the pretzels) held the texture of an item than had been made long ago then reheated upon our order.

ATMOSPHERE
Almost 30 minutes passed between "sit wherever you like" to "what shall I get for you?" Yet the popular patio area was not that busy. At least once acknowledged, our server became very attentive. The live singers have also been very talented and soulful in their playing.

Board games and drinks with friends? Yes!

T&T (heh, TNT) has quite the selection of tequila shots and infusions. I'd never had an infused tequila before. I ordered a raspberry lemon tequila and I tried a little of my friend's melon infused libation. I am not a fan. You can definitely tell they used cheap tequila. Very astringent and bitter. After that, we ordered a proper shot of anejo, which was so smooth you didn't even need the lime.

As for food, we ordered beer cheese & pretzels and mini brats wrapped in bacon. They looked like lil smokies to me, but they sure tasted good! They had a few items on the menu that were pub food-ish, but not what you would typically see in a bar setting. Kudos to them for variety,

The outside bar area was full, but not overly crowded. They had some live music. All was well. We stayed inside and played some games. Hidden in storage lockers are a ton of board and card games. Poker chips, dominoes, Taboo, Trivial Pursuit and quite a few others. There is also a shuffleboard table. If you are going with a group of friends, you will have had a great time.

Great food menu- different items ( NOT your EVERYDAY kinds of choices)...and great drink menu for those who want a change from the same ol' "bar or pub"...  Great friendly service..  We were first-time customers, Friday afternoon, May 16th.  Went after purchasing an e-mail discount coupon!! People NEED to TRY this!!
