CoonDicks
Wait... What??? Why is it called Coondicks?? Is the first question asked every time.
Let me explain...
My Uncle Bob, Robert Gruber, was in the Navy stationed in Louisiana where he learned the term Coondick. Bootleggers in the bayou called themselves Coondicks as they use the penis bone of a racoon in the outlet of a moonshine still to help the distillate to flow smoothly into a collection vessel. Back in St. Petersburg, when they needed a name for their group who would throw huge Tierra Verde keg and bonfire parties, "Coondicks" was the obvious choice. In 1982, Bob was paralyzed from the waist down while in the Navy. It just happened to be the same year I was born so I only knew him in the chair. We lived close to each other so it was easy for us to spend time together and bond. He collected an array of Nautical and Western decor that beautified his home to where the door was always open for a party. After his death on March 18th 2012, an upstairs area which was not being used at the time was built out into a pub in Bob's memory and adorned the walls with his beautiful collections. It is now a place for friends and family to gather and continue his memory and his love for fun. I feel like I am right back at Uncle Bob's when I am there and it gives me great peace knowing he is watching over me and our family. So, we are proud to call the bar Coondicks to honor him.
This event venue is like no other, with an eclectic array of Nautical and Western decor with the privacy of a speakeasy.
