Hattricks
Located in a historic brick building in the heart of Downtown Tampa is Hattricks – a sports bar and restaurant loved by locals, sports lovers, and college students! The wings at Hattricks are one of their signature items, a necessity on any table. For the hottest wings, try their famous IRA wings.
Pro tip: Their wings can be ordered in their signature “Shake n Bake” style – shaken in a sauce of your choice and thrown back in the oven to bake in all the flavors.

We consulted our hot-obsessed team members and received the best tips!
Don't touch your eyes! Trust us. Even after cleaning your hands with napkins, we ask you to think twice before you scratch your eyes!
Eat one at a time before taking a sip of your drink! It'll be easier and the heat won't start to bother you immediately.
Stock up on ranch, blue cheese, or milk! To tame the heat, these are a must.
Wings, celery, and carrots are a great combo. They not only taste good together, but the veggies help you survive the heat from the wings!
Drink plenty of water beforehand. This will help you eat more and process your meal better!
If you're going to enjoy some wings for lunch, you won't want to have a heavy breakfast in your belly!
They'll ruin your appetite and the wings won't be as enjoyable. Leave these for after you've finished your wings!
Request a pitcher of iced water. The last thing you want is to have fire in your mouth and have to order water in the middle of this mouth-watering chaos!
Don't drink a ton of milk at the beginning! You can enjoy a sip after each wing, but not in between bites.
Don't drench the wings in sauce, especially if they're hot wings. Even if they don't look saucy, they're most likely spicy already!
Breathe through your mouth while you eat instead of your nose. It helps relieve the burning sensation!
If you have a more sensitive stomach, take an antacid beforehand or after.
After your mouth-watering and hot journey with the best wings in Tampa Bay, why not cool down with beer, a cocktail, or ice cream
