Chico the Bar Tender

Anyone know what ever happened to Chico Rodriquez? An old friend has asked several times. Any information would be appreciated.

A fun little stop before going to, or coming back from the other bars and clubs

This bar has been in existance here in the Bay area. No matter what you may of heard from others be it good or bad, check it out for yourself. They have cute strippers there, and the drinks are good. It maybe a small neighborhood bar, but for being here since the days of BedRocks, this place is worth checking out! Btw, this is a great hangout for University of Tampa students.

It is what it is

I try to be positive in my reviews and -without dispute of the other's remarks- I would like to add my own. I have stopped into the Ki Ki Ki about once a month with a friend when I am in Tampa. Yes, they did have a roach problem but I didn't see any roaches when last there. It did stop me from going but when I heard they dealt with it, I gave it another try. Steve the bartender has always been friendly as are the other customers. Yes, It does get some rough type business boys sometimes but also some cute sweet ones, too . It is hit or miss. As far as the comments about only losers go there, I am successful, healthy and happy in life so please don't judge everyone. I could name worse places in Tampa Bay. The bar isn't for everyone or to everyone's taste. I think everyone would agree it is not a palace. Personally, if I go I have to sit away from the smokers. The antics that go on ensure entertainment. You don't have to be buying or selling to enjoy the show. I wish the Ki Ki Ki and it's great staff good luck. It is different.

Low class disease factory for losers

Are you so bad that you would pay anyone for sex? If so, come on down to Ki ki ki! I'm told the old sickly looking jailbirds who inhabit this dive are selling it. To whom, I don't know except the three times I looked in were all the same: about five old bums falling into their drinks and about as dirty looking as the bar itself. I guess there is a need. I signed up just to write this as I can't believe the positive reviews are from real customers. If I ever got so bad that I would need to pay these ugly dogs, I would just stay home and beat off

Hordes of roaches on everything

After my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I realized roaches were on everything, the glasses, the seats. I went to the toilet and loads scattered as I turned on the light. I mentioned this to the bartender and he just shrugged. I wonder who could have such a low self image to accept this health code violation? The answer is the dreggs who like this place. I am not passing judgement on the play for pay scene, but have a little self respect. We don't have to buy drinks here.As it were, I found no one interesting during my visit. One hard bitten old hustler and three drunk old queens chain smoking and coughing.. Lets hope the bar cleans up before the place is closed down by the health department. I would call it a dive except that would be too kind.
