Dog n Bone

Who I'd like to meet:

The Dog N' Bone British Pub opened it's doors on Tuesday, February 24, 2004. While it has only been open for a short time, this hub of exitement in Central Brevard County has developed quite a strong following. The "regulars" are well established with new friends joining the crowd weekly. The pub is located in the heart of historic Cocoa Village, which has come alive in recent years with the opening of new specialty shops, dining and entertainment venues that keep the community hopping until the wee hours. Two of the owners, Tracey and Simon Wells, are from England. The other two, identical twins David and Richard Lemon, were born in Greece. The four have been friends for years, having met for the first time playing darts at Paddy Cassidy's in Cocoa Beach where Tracey and Simon were working. They had always kidded that they should open a bar together. Then the current residence of The Dog N' Bone came available and they decided to make a go of it. Because the group wanted to move quickly to set up the business, the group conducted most of their negotiations, plans and purchasing decisions on the phone. "Dog and bone" is Cockney slang for telephone, so that's how the Dog N' Bone got it's name.

The Dog N' Bone is actually two places in one. Downstairs one finds a traditional British Pub open seven days a week which is complete with darts (steele tip of course), cribbage, billiards and chess. The telle is tuned to football (soccer) matches. The pub's atmosphere is absolutely authentic from decor to beer selection. Beers on tap include Guiness , New Castle ("Newky Brown") , Boddington's (Boddy's), Smithwicks "Smitty's", Stella, Bass, Harp, Blue Moon, Yuengling and Amstel Light. There also is delicious Kelly's Hard Cider and Kelly's Raspberry Cider for those Cider lovers. While Britain is the theme, flags from various countries drape over the bar, embracing an international clientel. Everyone is welcome!
