Tropix Bar & Lounge

Im a regular at Tropix, staff is super friendly. There is specials like every day, drinks are strong, food is good. Its very spanish so there is a lot of latin DJ, but they usually throw in a good mix. It can get crowded during the week for the specials. I see a lot of familiar faces a lot of time so its a favorite spot of a lot of people. Fun lace you will enjoy, so go!!!

Chicken wings are my kryptonite.  I'm even a regular to the National Buffalo Wings Festival for the past few years so imagine my surprise that one of the best wings I've eaten comes from a neighborhood bar just down the street from me.  Tropix is loud.  Tropix is dark.  They have a few flat screens and a projector with either sports or girls dancing on all the time.  And there is a bathroom but there's no lock.  

If this doesn't deter you by now then you're about to embark on a delicious journey.  They serve over 20 flavors of wings here.  And they don't cheat by claiming 5 varying degrees of heat constitutes 5 different flavors.  Here they have traditional flavors like hot, bbq and honey mustard.  But then they also throw in Jack Daniel's, blackened and apricot glazed.  For the even more exotic try habanero banana, chili lime, salt and vinegar or asian ginger.  If your mouth isn't starting to water by now maybe wings just aren't your thing.  Did I mention the wings are BIG too?!!  They're not like the tiny Korean fried chicken wings or Croxley Ale's midget specials.

The service is quick and the waitresses are super friendly.  Come on a Monday after work to score these wings for 25c a piece and get their BOGO happy hour drink specials.  If tacos are more your speed, come Thurs when they're 50c a shell.

i went here with my cousins and some friends for their 25 cent Wing Monday's and I was a little disappointed.  But I guess you get what you pay for, right?

The bartenders/waitstaff are lazy, impatient, and forgetful.  But the guy at the door was friendly and attentive.

The drinks could have been better.  I think having a 2 drink minimum per person is a little much, but I guess that's the trade off for the wing price.  

The wings are clearly fried prior to you placing your order, and just tossed in whatever flavor you order.  The wings are extremely overcooked and are far from fresh.  But they are 25 cents.  

The music was horrible, and I'm into all kinds of music, but you can't play the same song all night at think nobody is going to notice.

And the icing on the cake, the women's bathroom has 2 toilets in it, not 2 stalls.  Not sure if they expect 2 women to go in there at the same time, but its not happening.  Not exactly the place where I want to meet people and chat.

The fact that I was in good company made up for most of the shortcomings of the night, but I doubt I will ever go back, unless its a Monday and Im in the area and I have no other options.
