Iโm not bragging, but I have spent time in every bar that has opened in the Pinebrook at The Grove plaza on C.R. (aka S.R.) 54. I remember the original Fatheads Pub, Skinnyโs Sports Bar and of course, our long-time advertiser, Joe Whiskeyโs Sports Bar.
The only reason Jannah and I, until now, havenโt spent more time at Joe Whiskeyโs is because it has always been a smoker-friendly bar inside. Well, when bars were allowed to reopen during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic a couple of months ago (under Gov. Ron DeSantisโ executive order), Joe Whiskeyโs reopened as a smoke-free bar with a covered outdoor patio for those who still want to smoke.ย
Inside, Joe Whiskeyโs is now smoke-free, for those of us who want to shoot pool, sing karaoke (with karaoke jock Allan Hudson Brady), play darts or video arcade games and/or watch football (or hockey) games while enjoying a drink at the premium, full-liquor bar with great prices (and with Jessica, one of our favorite bartenders, top left photo above) โ without the thrill of having to breathe in second-hand smoke. Allan has a great karaoke list and heโs currently there every Thur.-Sat. evening. ย
Joe Whiskeyโs (27429 C.R. 54) is open noon-2 a.m. every day. For more information, call (813) 973-8336 . โ GN
