Rooftop cocktail bar Floridaman opens above Breaker Breaker on the BeltLine

Fans of Breaker Breaker have another reason to visit the Gulf seafood-centric restaurant on the Eastside BeltLine this week when rooftop cocktail bar Floridaman opens on May 24. But unlike Breaker Breaker, it’s 21+ at Floridaman and only open Friday through Sunday.

Think of Floridaman as an outdoor sports bar similar to the rooftop bars at locations of Grindhouse Killer Burgers, also owned by Alex Brounstein and Johnny Farrow. Eight televisions set up throughout the 55-seat bar will tune into several games on weekends.

Brounstein and Farrow again tapped Atlanta designer Elizabeth Ingram to bring their vision to life for Floridaman, including incorporating the steel canopy from the original Stein Steel warehouse on the property to provide cover and shade for the bar.

Ingram channeled a houseboat theme for the design through bamboo seating and cushioned banquettes, lacquered wooden tables, lush tropical plants, and a color palette of red, turquoise, and navy. Custom neon chandeliers light the bar at night.

People access the bar via the front entrance to Breaker Breaker on Wylie Street.

Look for cocktails like boozy slushies, a take on the Painkiller, and the Freak on the Beach made with dark rum, pineapple, peach liqueur, and mango Chinola. Beer and wine area also available.

Breaker Breaker chef Maximilian Hines will serve a tight food menu here, such as the restaurant’s popular smoked fish dip and blackened grouper sandwich, along with peel-and-eat shrimp and a Cuban sandwich. Expect key lime pie cups and ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

Take a look at the menu for Floridaman below:

Floridaman, 921 Wylie Street, Reynoldstown. Open Friday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
