Editorial Review for Press Box Sports Emporium – by Eric Vician
The Scene
A mix of blue- and white-collar workers fill up this original South Tampa sports bar at lunchtime, and an overload of Bucs fans jam in during football season. The adjacent game room is spacious enough to play darts, pool or video games. Non-sports fans can surf the Internet at the computer kiosk. It's a great place for the gang to hang, but hesitate before bringing the kids into the dark-and-dingy atmosphere.
The Draw
The wings really are some of the best in town, and arrive mild, medium, hot-cruel or atomic. The beef 'n' cheddar and grouper sandwiches are also good lunch choices. Six mostly Anheuser-Busch brews are the only taps in the house.

After doing a country wide wing tour, we have determined these wings are THE BEST! We are stuck in California right now and have not been able to decent wings ANYWHERE! After trying wings from Buffalo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, New Orleans, Columbus, Jackson, Biloxi, we have deemed these the best.

Walter's Press Box is my favorite place to go. I have been going there literally since I was born. The wings are the best I've ever had, and the burgers are top notch too. The appetizers are indeed appetizing. The game room is loads of fun and there is always at least 5 sporting events on TV.
Pros: Chicken wings, TV's, Service
