New Sports and Dive Bar, Floridaman, Opens on the Eastside Beltline in Gulf Coast-Inspired Style

Floridaman, a Gulf Coast-themed sports and dive bar, will open next month on the second floor of Breaker Breaker along the Eastside Beltline. The team behind the new bar is made up of Alex Brounstein, Johnny Farrow (Grindhouse Killer Burgers), and Maximillian Hines. The bar’s name is inspired by a persona often used in news headlines that has become a popular meme.

Johnny Farrow, a Florida native, describes the Gulf Coast as a place where a lot of interesting and quirky things happen. This inspiration led to the theme of Floridaman. The atmosphere of the bar will have a tropical feel, with patterned lounge furniture, artwork, lighting installations, and tropical plants. Seating will overlook the Beltline, giving customers a unique view.

The drink menu at Floridaman is still being developed but promises two potent frozen cocktails on tap, along with a beer and wine list and a selection of canned cocktails. The food menu will focus on handheld items and dips, with a signature Floridaman sandwich that features roasted chicken, ham, salami, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard
