Brown Boxer Expanding to Countryside

Jay Thomas is looking to fill a void.

Thomas, an owner of the popular Brown Boxer beach bars, is taking the concept to Countryside with the latest location, expected to open in May.

"This area does well," Thomas said. "We’re looking to fill a void, just like the beach."

Brown Boxer already has locations at Clearwater and Madeira Beach.

The Countryside location is in a former T.G.I Fridays near Enterprise Road and U.S. 19. It features outdoor seating and inside, TVs are plastered on virtually every inch of the walls around the large, rectangular bar.

There will be live music most nights and the restaurant’s signature fare will be available until 3 a.m., Thomas said.

"That’s what we do, have fun," he said.
