My sister Susan and I took a drive up to Vero beach from Stuart, Florida the other day, and when we got to the beachfront there, discovered the original Mulligan's Beach House Bar and Grill. I know this because I recently saw it listed in an article as one of the best beach bars in the area, which it does indeed seem to be. It is situated right above the beach, with great views from the outdoor patio, as seen in the photograph on the left. We had already picked up a gourmet style lunch, known as a Biggie Bag, at Wendy's, and eaten it at a table at Stuart Beach, and so had to skip dining at Mulligan's that day, but hope to come back soon. And I am sure they will have a comparable item on the menu similar to that $5.00 biggie bag.
And as you can see from the photograph on the right, that beach is indeed very nice. The only problem is that this time of year, there is often a brief thunderstorm in the afternoon, which can disrupt the routine of even the most dedicated beachgoer, which looked very likely to happen any moment. Happily, the rain stayed inland, and it never did rain there, but it certainly looked threatening enough to take precautions. Vero Beach, by the way, is home to retired Miami Hearld columnist and comic mystery novelist Carl Hiaasen, musician Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio, as well as mystery writer Stuart Woods. None of whom I saw on the beach. Go figure.
