    Datz would be my choice. It's on MacDill. Probably 10 minutes away. Maybe 15 with traffic. Great beer list, full liquor bar and awesome choices for food.

    Just finished the barbacoa and eggs. Good flavors but eggs overcooked. Would order again. Good service and they have Lagunitas Sucks on tap, so I'm happy.

    tandin, if you don't mind driving over the bridge two days in a row (since you're already doing it for the game Sunday), I'd suggest going to ZGrille in downtown St. Pete. If you have time, take your lady to the Chihuly Collection. If not, just walk a bit up and down Beach Drive. If you want to stay in Tampa, head to Seminole Heights and go to The Refinery.

    Both Z and The Refinery are funky, eclectic spots. Green Lemon is shit-tier Americanized Mexican.

    Days like this make me seriously consider buying in Carrolwood or Westchase instead of South Tampa.

    My laundry room has been flooding for an hour. Filled up my shop vac over 30 times now with water. Luckily it's slowing down managed to save the man cave from any water.

    No damage from what I can tell. Under control just waiting for towels to dry so I can up the little bit of dampness. Luckily caught it early. Shop vac saved us.

    Lawnole23 and I went there last month. The inside is really well done. I liked a few of their beers but liked the atmosphere more than the beer.

    Also, Team Carrolllwood no flooding.
