Editorial Review for Whiskey Park Soho – by Jacklyn V. Melton

The Scene
Nestled on Restaurant Row, this variation on the upscale south Tampa singles' scene follows a familiar formula of top-shelf drinks, dancing, games and gourmet grub. A central bar separates the "playas" from the pool players working their magic on six smoky blue-felt tables under a faux star-studded sky. To the left, striped curtains reveal a cozy dining room and bar with the feel of a nouveau hunting lodge--complete with warm woods, stone and an antler lamp.

The Draw
Flattering candlelight, four full bars and 20 TVs span this classy sports lounge. Decadent late-night eats include Szechuan seared sesame tuna with spicy cucumber salsa, grilled chicken and creamy Brie quesadillas stuffed with spinach and roasted red peppers, and a Southwest black-bean burger. Set the mood with a song from the jukebox and share a thick, layered slice of chocolate cake with the person you've been scoping out all night.

Tries too hard, and like the other user said, a bunch of yuppie wanna be tools dancing around. Pretty much over-priced, over-rated, and over-hyped. Go somewhere else and save yourself the embarrassment of being seen here.

Pros: None

Cons: Parking, service, prices, scene

Tons of Yuppy wanna be tools, very little parking, staff is rude, drinks are outrageous, trying to mix a pool hall with a dance club and failing miserably. Go elsewhere! I thought this place was closing up shop.

Pros: Good music

Cons: Overrated
