So ALL the bars in TV should be closed?
I did my lifestyle visit just before WoB opened eleven years ago. One big negative for my visit was that I could not find a decent ale ANYWHERE. No one carried IPAs—even grocery stores. All I could find was tasteless swill that is made for people who don’t like variety or even the taste of beer. I guess most people drink watery pilsners just to get drunk. Me? I like the adventure of trying new things.
When I was complaining to the waiter at City Fire, they told me that WoB was coming soon, so I decided I would be able to live in Florida. That has all changed now and most restaurants now carry an ale. The selection still sucks at most restaurants, but at least we have places like WoB and Sunny Pint to find a wide variety of beers with flavor. I can now find a couple dozen ales at Publix, plus ABC and Total Wine have an awesome selection.
If you think there is too much drinking in TV, then it would be better to close places like City Fire, Cody’s, and the various Gators where people go just to get drunk and smoke than places like WoB where people go because they want to experience the variety.
BTW, I’ve tried 645 different beers at WoB. I would hate to see it closed.
