Say Goodbye to Tampa Bay’s Hogan’s Beach Bar While You Can
Tagged: beach bar, florida, hogan's beach, tampa bay
After finding out last week that Hogan’s Beach, a beachfront bar located at the Best Western Bay Harbor in the Rocky Point region of Tampa Bay, was going to be rebranded and renamed, the Tampa Tribune reported this week that the Best Western had been sold for a cool $34.5 million. The intent from the new owners is still to rebrand and rename Hogan’s Beach. I don’t think there was any gray area when it came to Hogan’s Beach – people...

After ending our St. Pete Beach vacation by traversing the travails that are synonymous with traveling through O’Hare airport in Chicago (two hours from touch down to my car – ugh!) and getting less than five hours of sleep before heading to my job that actually pays the bills, the thought of doing any kind of thorough review of my 11 days in St. Pete Beach is as far from my mind as a beach bar, which is really kind of sad and impetus...

The sunsets here can be...

The Beach Bar at the Postcard Inn on the Beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida may not always get mentioned among the more popular beach bars in St. Pete Beach but for this beach bar bum, it has been a surprising favorite halfway through my vacation. I can’t tell you why it doesn’t get more attention in the press – I’ll just blame it on the uninspired name. While the bars at its sister property in Islamorada are all...

With the reality that my feet will be on the beaches of St. Pete Beach in just over 24 hours, the beach bar planning kicks into high gear. Add to that the possibility that Erika might put a crimp in some of our plans and the necessity to get things in order notches up a little bit. Even though we’ll be there for 11 days, the time will fly by and a beach bar bum can only hit so many beach bars in one day, no matter how hard they try....
