Where is your favorite place in Otown to enjoy a cold Corona Light? Knight Library’s very own beach bar! Where do you go to metaphorically #FindYourBeach? I find my beach by traveling to tropical places, my favorite is Hawaii. Who’s the bartender you would nominate as the Hottest in Otown? Riley Farrow! What is your favorite local REAL beach when “Finding your beach”? New Smyrna Beach!

Favorite place in Otown to enjoy a cold Corona Light? Anywhere I can get my hands on one! I’m bias because I’m really lucky to work at an establishment that I love so much, so Attic/Basement/Treehouse would be my real answer! Where do you go to metaphorically #FindYourBeach? I think the best place to metaphorically find my beach is when I clear my head and just relax. I imagine being at The Breakers in NSB enjoying a nice corona and their delicious corn nuggets! Bartender you would nominate as the Hottest in Otown? I would nominate Clare Kehoe again and again she is not only incredibly beautiful on the outside but the sweetest human being I’ve ever met! Favorite local REAL beach when “Finding your beach”? I love going to New Smyrna! It’s a beautiful beach town with locally owned restaurants and the people are all so nice!
KT from Ace Cafe Orlando
Your favorite place in Otown to enjoy a cold Corona Light? The Whiskey in Dr Phillips! Where do you go to metaphorically #FindYourBeach? Koh Phi Phi Thailand, where they filmed The Beach! Bartender you would nominate as the Hottest in Otown? Sharon from Casey’s- anyone who can bartend downtown for 20yrs is the boss! Favorite local REAL beach when “Finding your beach”? Cocoa- fishing with a Corona in hand.
