What a great Friday night!

The weather was beautiful, a little breezy but very pleasant. It was so nice to see familiar faces coming out of their winter slumber. We sang Happy Birthday to Rob Peck not once but three times!!

No matter the weather, Bike Week is always the kick off for us. The time when old friends reappear and we can almost permanently open up our sliders and let the warm Florida air flow through.

If you have been to the Lion recently, you have probably noticed activity in the former realty office on the west end of our courtyard. Two unique shops will be opening there very soon. So stop in the next time you come to your favorite beachside restaurant.

The weekend continues tonight with great music by Joe Atti & Friends. See you there!

Stop by the bar tonight and tell Mark aka "Tiki" that you read this post and get a domestic beer on us!

Happy Friday!!!

Fat Tuesday is coming up!!!! Revelers tip: Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is the end of the celebration, not the beginning. So come on out and get in the spirit. Try a Sazerac, an classic fashioned New Orleans cocktail, prepared the old fashioned way by Mark behind the bar. The Sazerac cocktail was named by John Schiller in 1859 upon the opening of his Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans. The Sazerac was originally a cognac based drink, accompanied with bitters. In the 1870s, Sazerac rye whiskey was subsituted, and pastis or absinthe was added. The Golden Lion Sazerac will be made with Rye One® Premium Rye whiskey and Absente® absinthe. The rye will be combined in an old-fashioned glass with a sugar cube and a dash or two of bitters, then muddled. In a separate ice-filled glass, a few drops of absinthe will be rinsed to coat the glass then the ice and absinthe will be discarded. The rye, bitters, and sugar mix will then be poured into the prepared glass. This drink is normally served up with a twist of lemon. Request rocks if you prefer.
