Etheridge had the opportunity this day to go to a waterpark with a friend of the family and their grandson, so Rich and I took Cornel to the Tampa aquarium. I found it to be just ok for the cost of admission, but Cornel and Rich both enjoyed it. At any rate, we didn't need to be back to Sun City Center until around 6:00, so we decided to stop for a drink and some Olympic watching. We stopped at an Irish pub called MacDinton's, in an area called Hyde Park. There was plenty of outdoor seating, but Cornel was having none of that and Rich wanted to watch TV, so inside to the air conditioning we went. there was the USA women's basketball game for the gold medal on our TV and a couple of guys were watching soccer on another - very heated game with lots of "f bombs" being dropped. It was actually a very fun atmosphere. Rich didn't eat the wings here, but Cornel and I did.
BONUS: we asked them to bring an extra big basket of celery and blue cheese, which they did and didn't charge us for it. Nice!
Overall Rating:
Cornel 3 WET NAPS
Gail 4 WET NAPS
Cornel gave them a 3 on sauce, 2 on tenderness, 3 on meat quality and 3 on the batter. He doesn't eat celery and certainly not blue cheese dressing. I only gave the sauce a 2 because it was less than average but the meat quality a 3, texture a 3 and tenderness a 4. High marks went for the extra celery.
Again, great atmosphere, if you bypass the brooding teen in front of you who can't stand to be with his parents. Where were those little bottles? That's right....didn't need because we were in a BAR!
