Probably one of the best parts about Florida: the beaches. Stretches of white sandy coastlines that overlook the crashing waves are already a treat alone but add bites, booze, and a place to kick off your shoes and you're in true paradise. All that is coming soon with a new tiki bar near Tampa. Whiskey Joes Bar & Grill made a name for themselves in Tampa, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale, and they're about to bring their drinks with a view just a short drive away in Ellenton —right on the Manatee River. The new location will be on the waterfront off of Trooper JD Young Bridge and Highway 301. Meander off the busy expressways and you'll find it at 5315 19th St E. While an opening date hasn't been officially announced just yet, the laidback location is expected to open sometime this spring in the month of March. What should you expect to find on your plate here? You'll find a little bit of everything from bar bites like quesadillas, wings, and nachos to super seafood selections including crab cakes, gator bites, grouper tacos, oysters, and shrimp. You can even get brunchy noms like waffles and sandwiches, or fill up for dinner on burgers, pasta, and pizzas! Baskets and apps are also available on the beachfront menu.
