Reni's Rooster in Bayard, just south of Jacksonville, north of St. Augustine, will be closing it's doors Tuesday, May 27. I can't make the final blow-out party Memorial Day weekend, but I will be there Sunday, May 18. I won't be on the bike (good thing), but if any of you forum members are there, let's hook-up and have a few cold ones.

I think the opening of the Yaght club is the reason for closing the Rooster.

Reni didn't want to close, but her lease was terminated. She will do fine on the northside.

P.S. The weather kept the crowd down this past Sunday, but we still closed it down. They have a big bash memorial day weekend to send it out in style.

Found out that Irene and Marty tore the place up when they vacated the building. Some of the stuff had been in there for years \\;and had been passed down from previous tenant. \\;Not cool at all...
 \\;
I understand that it will re-open under another name.

This is true, for further updates go to www.bayardrooster.com

I live ten minutes away and have been watching them make progress on fixing the place up (not too much of course or it wouldn''t be the Rooster! LOL)

Can''t wait for it to reopen. \\; That place is a home away from home for us bikers.

I hope to get back down there in August if not sooner. I heard rumor it may re-open, but you gave me the proof. I will call my buds and let know that they can quit crying in their beer - relief is on it''s way!

LOL I know how they feel!!!!! \\; When I heard they were closing I was so sad. \\; That place has been there as a biker bar for well over 30 years. \\; It''s just not the same going by there without see the front door wide open, the flags flying above and anywhere from 2 to 100 scooters parked out front. \\;

LOL, you''re right about that. \\; I made sure to stay well clear of those spurs of his!!! \\; I guess they took him up to the Yacht Club when Reni left.

Latest on the Rooster is that the lease is still in the hands of the lawyers. \\; They are going to try to get some big "opening soon" banners to put up in front of the place and open right after the 4th of July weekend. \\; From what I hear, the bar with all the Dave Mann artwork was destroyed. \\; That sucks.

Hey Guys,
 \\;\\\\\\; Never made it to the "Rooster" before they shut down, but live close to the Yaght club. Yeah, the big red rooster is hangin out there. I agree, he is huge. They were having bike nites on Tuesdays but the few \\;I attended were pretty slow. My guess would be the entertainment is some older dude doing Karaoke! She needs a band playing on bike nite! Anyway now bike nite is on Thursdays same as another popular Nassau county bike nite, Murry''''s Grill. I guess she figures more bikes will be on the road &\\;\\\\\\; might stop by.
 \\;\\\\\\;Joe
P.s. I think I''ll stop by &\\;\\\\\\; suggest she
contact "Big Engine". I mean, if they''''ll
play the friggin Yulee bowling alley I would
think they''''d play her bike nite.

I heard Big Engine last year at Boothill Saloon. I never seem to time my visits when they play the Rooster.
 \\;
Any of you checked out Michelle''s on Beach Blvd? \\;She has bands out in her parking lot.

Yeah we go there sometimes. \\; She''s doing a good job of trying to pull people in. \\; Was just at Dick''s Wings on Old St. Augustine Road tonight. \\; Pretty good crowd out there. \\; Do you go to Buffalo''s on Wednesday?

It''s about a mile west of southside blvd. right at the boat ramp for Pottsburg Creek. \\; If you know where the old Jimmie''s Fried Chicken used to be, that''s it. \\; It''s on the left hand side if you are heading west. 8560 BEACH BLVD

They also have a Myspace page

Anyone going to go to Buffalo''s tonight? \\; Thinking about taking a ride over. \\; If you see my Fat Bob, just look for the chick with the black and white hair and tattoos. \\; That be me!

Well I tried to get over to Buffalo''s tonight! \\; Got as far as Mandarin and saw the rain and lightning and decided to pull over into the Ale House. \\; Had a couple of drinks and a bite to eat and figured everyone else was in the same boat as me so I headed home in the light rain. \\; Oh well, I''ll try again next week.

If I’m in town during the week, I will check out Buffalo’s.
 \\;
Michelle’s a real card! I met her through a friend, while hanging our at the Saints \\; &\\; Sinners pub at Destination Daytona.
 \\;
Tonight, I hope to hit a Bike Night up here in the ATL, but the weather here’s iffy.

Rode down to New Smyrna Beach today to have my 10k service done by an indy wrench I know down there. \\; Got caught in some rain coming back, just enough for me to stop and put on my rain gear but not enough to pull over. \\; I''m getting used to riding in the rain.

Yeah, Buffalo''s is every Wednesday night and if the weather''s good there are a ton of bikes over there.

Michelle''s a sweetie and she''s doing a good job of trying to cater to the biker community. \\; We like going over there from time to time and hanging out. \\;
