I'm back here at my condo. So far I've only played at Players and Angry Pepper. Angry Pepper is by far the better of the two. Even though Players bills itself as a sport bar, the TVs at Angry Pepper are bigger. We had 6 players Saturday afternoon when I stopped by, including the local "pro from Dover," WPM. The owner was playing, too, and gave us all a free beer when we came in #1 as a team in Countdown. The food was great, too -- they have their own smoker and I can attest to the pulled port. I'll try the brisket next time I'm their.
Based on Buzztime stats it doesn't appear Angry Pepper has much activity in the evenings. Neither does Players. I may give Riptide a shot before I head back North in January.
Forgot to mention, Angry Pepper also has a great selection of craft beers on tap.
Hey Lumpy, OPIEE and I will be back in the St Pete beach/ Maderia beach area soon.
We will be down there Sun Dec 13th through Sat Dec 19th when we then relocate south to Siesta Key for another week through Christmas. We will be staying at the hotel where Players is. We would love to play some games with you. Haven't seen you since the Hardtimes days. (RIP)
Players, Riptides, Angry Peppers, Cody's roadhouse and others are on our list.
We hope to run into Higgie and Pepper at Angry Peps. Also Girlie and Ran D may stop by the beach sometime. Of course there's Blumax, but he doesnt travel as far these days esp. at night. Long drive from north of Clearwater.
I will PM you my cell number and we can play as we go, no plans set for any day yet, other than we are staying at Players, easy to crawl 100 feet to the room.
As you said the prime night time play doesn't exist down there, so we do plan more for day and happy hour play and then seeing bands etc at night. Exceptions, of course, for when meeting up with others.
We'll hope that all the bars will have BT on a screen so we can play. Wouldn't want our vacation to be ruined because we couldn't play Playback.
Know what I mean Ardvark.
See you down there in the warm weather.
