A new group of riding buddies live and work on the west coast of Florida. Our friends Kay and Barry who visit us often, live in Wesley Chapel and bar hop on a regular basis. Their friends met up with us at Rebar in Brooksville for a day of riding. This crazy group followed us to Let’s Ride Christmas kick-off in Hudson. We caught back up with them at a new bar in New Port Richey on the west side of Grand, The Garage on Grand. This is a newly remodeled cool bar and right next door is another brand-new bar I had hoped to stop in but wasn’t open for business yet called the Dirty Mullet. Guess we will have to make another trip over to check out owner John’s second bar. He also owns a great bar in Hernando Beach, the Drunken Mullet. Next stop was one of our favorite bars on the west coast, Little Corona Cigar Bar. TJ loves a good cigar, so the walk-in humidor makes him happy, but the real reason we love this bar is the staff. Tom was behind the bar this trip and took great care of the house full of peeps. The owner Tim rides and was a fire chief before opening Little Corona. Little Corona has been a loyal supporter of Thunder Roads Florida so please stop in and visit them when you are in the New Port Richey area. Our final stop of the night was Horse and Crown in Hudson on 19, a few in the group love to karaoke and entertained us with their vocal skills. Can’t wait to visit with our new friends and explore more of the Nature Coast.
