Not a bad dive bar. Came here on a Wednesday night and they had karaoke. I also ordered some wings. They were huge and very tasty! The bartender, Hillary, was fantastic! If in the area, I would recommend it. I know that I'll be back!

Was greeted with a warm welcome from Hilary! She was very friendly and informative about the menu and helped me decide on what to order. Kitchen staff made sure food was out timely. I will definitely be back mostly due to Hilary’s professionalism and great hospitality.

Cant ask for more from a unadvertised strip mall dive bar. Top 2 wings in tampa, great music, great service from the crew, locals are welcoming, and the beers are cold. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike. Dont sleep on this place.

We are visiting my son in Tampa for the holidays and he introduced us to Mackenzies. Hilary & Lewis were great tonight! Food by Lewis was excellent (we had the fried pickles and a variety of wings). Drinks by Hilary were cold and served quick. Both staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. Great local tavern to visit when in the area and the wings really are the best around (along with the terrific service)!
