Whiskey Park North

I don't live far from this place. Two shootings in the last six months! Stay away,very unsafe because of the Gang B.S.!!!

Friday Night:

Bar: A lot of it, really cool.
Music/DJ: Average, very random, non-smooth transition of music genre. knocks your mood off!
Atmosphere/People: many not so friendly. cmon' girls its latin dance

I love latin dance a lot -salsa, bachata, merengue,etc, came here around 11pm, asked three different girls if they wanted to dance they said no or that where were not ready to dance yet - at 11pm?. it was midnight already and barely anyone was dancing. MANY people were just sitting around at the bar, mostly girls. said to myself...  "is this a bar with latin music or a dance club?". Nothing like the real salsa or latin dance clubs I have ever seen. Maybe speaking because I live in LA (where the scene is different) and just visiting Tampa. At about 1am or so, everyone stormed the dance floor, either standing walking around, or dancing randomly to the random music. number of guys clearly outweighed girls - like 3:1. some girls from what i saw might be looking for hookup though and not real a real dance. Not  a fun night; and wouldn't be back. However, different folks, different likes. you might like it way better!!

Oh Chris, one of the bartenders is exceptionally nice. He left the bar to show me the upstairs area and we chatted a bit. cool dude - look for him. :)

Joined my wife and her coworkers for Friday happy hour not knowing what to expect. $12, What a "great deal" if you are looking to explore the many adult beverages that will make you enter with anticipation and leave totally satisfied. The food was pretty good and the bartender had plenty of personality to keep the party going while keeping your cup filled all night long. Had the sample platter( $14. Wings, Sweet Potato fries, Mozzarella sticks, and Chicken strips) which had good variety and was tasty as well. For a good time at a great price, give Whiskey Park North a try, you won't be disappointed...
