There
is new Bar and Grill in town if you live in Pasco County. Let
me introduce you to LEVI'S Bar and Grill of New Port
Richey. Just a few hundred feet from 54 and US 19
is the location of the newest and largest LGBTQ+
Bar and Grill of its kind. The official Grand Opening is
in June and the date is to be announced as we move closer. However,
the bar is open, and we went inside to take a peek.
I was in a meeting with my friend Nina Borders talking
about this year's PASCO PRIDE Events, that lead
to our impromptu meet up at LEVI'S. I am glad she made
the recommendation. I had an opportunity to meet with the owners,
Steve and Carl, in addition to the Bar Manager
and Show Director the beautiful and talented, Monica Malone.
The bar has been completely remodeled by the owners with help
from some of the staff. The owners hope that Levi's will be
more of a "…family feel kind of place. We want the staff
and patrons to feel like family."

The
owners are very community driven and stated the doors are open
to EVERYONE no matter who you are. They will be having
Drag Queen BINGO Nights for local charities, Talent night,
and some other great ideas (I could share but I was sworn to
secrecy). The Soft Open was this past weekend and featured some
of Tampa Bay's Best Entertainers on Friday and Saturday like
Monica Malone, Dena Cass, Bobbi Lake and
Janet Vandross. Here are a few pictures from the night
we visited.
They have a full food menu featuring: Appetizers, Sandwiches
(hot and cold), Chicken Wings, Chicken Strips and more. I would
say that about half of the patrons that night had ordered food,
and the portions were decent sized. Everyone that ordered seemed
to enjoy what they had. I did not hear or see anyone complain
about anything regarding food or drinks.
Speaking of drinks, I ordered a considerably basic Tito's and
tonic with a lime and my partner ordered a beer. The prices
are fair; my drink was on point. They offer Daily Drink Specials
and did I mention… SANGRIA on TAP! Said to be the "Best
in the Area"; I have not tried it yet but next time we visit,
it will be my first drink.

Levi's
also features a juke box, oversized bar games, pool table,
darts, digital bowling, and bar top arcade games. The Stage
is set and ready to entertain. Levi's stage has been completely
built from scratch to give the best view from any angle and
taking into consideration the needs of the talent as well.
