Located at 428 Cleveland Street in downtown Clearwater, the restaurant has become known for combining quality food, entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.
Owned and operated by Dan Mahoney, the business continues to grow its presence within the downtown district after acquiring the restaurant in late 2024. Conveniently located near entertainment venues such as The BayCare Sound and Capitol Theatre, it offers residents and visitors a casual place to gather, dine, and enjoy the downtown experience before or after events.
Known for its New York-style thin-crust pizza, the restaurant is also popular for its wings, pasta dishes, seafood, and Italian favorites. Throughout the week, guests can enjoy entertainment nights featuring Music Bingo, Trivia, and Karaoke, helping create a fun and engaging dining experience.
In addition to its dining experience, the restaurant has supported community activation efforts through participation in the "Hello Cleveland Street" concert series alongside neighboring businesses. The ongoing series has helped activate the corridor through live music and increased community engagement.

Throughout the month of May, the restaurant will be featured through the Clearwater CRA Business Spotlight Program.
