About
What it's like
A locally owned taphouse pouring a long list of local and domestic drafts, with a kitchen built around pizza and oversized strombolis. The signature stromboli (pepperoni, sausage, cheese, house marinara) feeds two or three and takes about 30 minutes, so order early. There are also wings, hot sandwiches, pretzel sticks, meatball sliders and gyros, and Sunday mornings bring coffee and a breakfast stromboli.

The story
How it got here
Open since 2017, it spent about eight years on Gulf Blvd before the 2024 storms. Owner Ted Stice moved the business to Corey Avenue after the landlord ended the old lease.
Helene & Milton, 2024
Since the storms
Hurricane damage closed the Gulf Blvd location; it briefly reopened in Feb 2025, then lost its lease. A new lease at 348 Corey was signed Aug 1, 2025, and after a remodel it reopened in Nov 2025, about nine months later, with a grand opening Dec 13, 2025.
