This amazing resort/hotel is a throwback to the 1950's when Treasure Island was a getaway for folks "in the know." Have yourself a cool libation at the Ikki WooWoo Tiki Hut, hit the beach, the heated pool, the jaccuzzi, or Grouper's Restaurant.

I have been playing here on Sundays for 9 years, and just switched to Fridays to kick off the weekend in style.  It's my favorite spot to watch the sun go down.  The crowd is always friendly and Mother Ocean and the 411'ers will welcome you as if you were one of the family.  There is always volleyball and horseshoes on the beach, as well Chuck Cobb groupies and "boat dancers" galore.  Polite pets are OK on the beach patio and kids are always welcome.  And don't forget the famous drum circle out on the beach that starts up just as I finish.  I play 'til sunset, so subtract 4 hours from that time and I'll see you there. (No show if it's raining or very cold.)

So, as we tell lovers on the beach... GET A ROOM!!

The Thunderbird is located on Gulf Blvd. at the very end of 107th (Central) Ave.  (727)367-1961

A rockin' little place right on the Manatee river.  Great food at killer prices with a beckoning outdoor bar and patio.  Big tables with umbrellas for all you Floridian diners.  ... and the cocktails are ripe and ready to get you into character.  Best of all, a REAL STAGE for Yours Truly to entertain y'all.  Bring the boat and tie up at their dock, too!
