I am in Bradenton on vacation now through April 16 if anyone wants to organize a meetup.
Last night I had dinner with my parents at the Beach House which is directly on the water in Holmes Beach:

I ordered fish tacos with blackened mahi mahi, my father had a Grouper Sandwich and my mother got the crab cakes with fried green tomatoes. The food was good. This would be a good spot for a meeting in Bradenton.
Tonight I am hunting for a sports bar at which I can watch the Yankees-Red Sox baseball game. On Yelp I located an Irish pub in downtown Bradenton called O’Brick’s Pub:
The menu looks great. I will probably be there if they will have the game on if anyone wants to stop by for a drink.
