Drop by WTF Sporting Club

There's a new reinvented space in town turned upscale sports entertainment bar

Tango Foxtrot has officially opened their second location in town at

the old Easy Tiger space on the east side. Walking in

I wasn't prepared for how elegant they were going to turn

the space with all that beautiful cascading greenery from the ceiling

But it struck me as the perfect place for an intimate first date or like

a chic girls night where you get dressed up and just have cute cocktails.

We started off with the Paloma and Fairway Collins, which were delicious.

But when we tried the Mai Thai, girl, it was game over. We did not stop.

The nachos were ok and smash burger was really good but neither had anything on the

thirds and then forths with those. Fancy was meeting all the fun with the game

Corner. Pacman and Atari Pong were a blast

But the basketball game will forever be my favorite.

They have a two story tall projection screen for game days along with DJs and

container bars and a huge entertainment deck,

So be sure to make time to come check it out soon.

And the drunken shrimp is flavorful as well.

But at the end of the day, the star of the show is the Devil on Goat Back pizza.

There are tons of arcade games that you can play as well.

There's a Pop-A-Shot for basketball fans.
