Customers keep coming back for Hattricks Famous shake-n-bake or Buffalo-style wings served with bleu cheese or ranch. This is the space to catch the Lightning or the Bucs on TV while enjoying a few dozen wings. It’s a hotspot for after work drinks, and has been a part of the community since 1997. 
Fat Rabbit Pub

Fat Rabbit is a relative newcomer to the Tampa wing scene. This unassuming space in Tampa Palms is a laid back joint that overdelivers on flavor. Reviewers celebrated jumbo wings for being perfectly crispy. They also won the 2020 Best of the Bay Award for best wings, so the secret might already be out. The restaurant was also voted Best Neighborhood Bar in the Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best series.
Peabody’s

Peabody’s is an expansive sports bar in Tampa. The mozzarella sticks and garlic knots are reason enough to pull up a seat at the bar at Peabody’s, but our readers threw down for their wings, too. These jumbo wings are tossed in sauces such as mango habanero, hot garlic, hot bbq, lemon pepper, and teriyaki. 
Blind Goat
4106 Henderson Blvd • Website
The Blind Goat strives to create a top-shelf social experience for the local community, while also staying true to the roots of American nightlife culture.
