Jon, please do add us to your next Florida tour. The bar is open on your arrival.

Robert and Marlene, appreciate your visits and comments.

The Blowfish Bar celebrates the arrival of two new mugs from the Land Down Under. These are the creations of Melbourne, Australia artist Robbie Toth (Swizzle). They are variations of his “General Ra Ra” line of mugs, named for a military character...

When I asked Robbie on how he came to name the mugs, he related the story...

General Ra Ra is a drunken story. I was out with a friend at a bar, where I knew the bartender, and I ask him if they had any DEMERARA rum, and he said 'What? General Ra Ra', so naturally we all had a good laugh and that's where it comes from. If/when I make some more mugs they will have military names, the next one will be called Corporal Punishment because I like having shots of a particular OP rum and making friends have it without telling them.

It pains me to no end to report that Ben Charred/Chard, the Blowfish Bar yard Tiki carved by Ramay “Keylo” Lewis, has been heisted. Sadly, Ben, we only knew you for a short time. You always had that beautiful smile...
