Everyone is revving up for July 4th weekend (more about that below) and we are starting the party early at the Golden Lion Cafe beginning with the Phun Coast Parrotheads' Thirsty Thursday tonight!

CELEBRATING OUR 19TH YEAR AS FLAGLER'S MOST AWARDED RESTAURANT AND OUR FIRST YEAR AS FLORIDA'S BEST WATERSIDE BAR!

Thursday, June 16, 2011

Happy Weekend!

What a great weekend! Thanks to everyone who came out Saturday night for the Florida Beach Bar award presentation. The owners of floridabeachbar.com were impressed by how our customers were like family. Plus, according to their site, they had a pretty good time!
Tony and Carolyn
Golden Lion Cafe owners Tony and Carolyn Marlow accepting the Best Waterside Beach Bar Award.

The Golden Lion was packed with visitors, locals and regulars who seemed more like old friends and family than patrons. The celebration was warm and friendly with gifts and prizes from both The Golden Lion and FloridabeachBar.com. Hours of great reggae music were highlighted by a limbo contest, and there was no shortage of people trying to see "how low they could go". Everyone had a great time, and left on one big high.

The Golden Lion is a special Florida Beach Bar and a key influence on the popularity of Flagler Beach. Recent renovations have made it better than ever and include a new Tiki Bar, expansion of the Upper Deck, and the addition of a toes in the sand beach in the Tiki Bar area. As Tony says, "Live your vacation one hour at a time." We did for several hours. It was one of those nights we just didn't want to have end.

Thanks again to Florida Beach Bar and everyone who voted for us!
Father's Day! This weekend is Father's Day, a perfect time to enjoy the beach and The Lion! Treat Dad like a king with great food, cold brew, and live music!
