Question about Capogna's?

[nickd25]

do they still do the $1 beers in those special Bulls mugs?

[IncrediBULL]

I believe that is only on game days when there is a USF game on. 

I am sure there will be more information on that from the Pinellas Alumn Assn (Mutt/BullsMania???)  but have not heard about this year.  Usually there is an even there to kick off the season too, with CJL in attendance, but have not heard any details on it.

WIth the fact that a good percentage of the Capogna's decorated in Green and Gold, and with TWO of the owner's sons (Nick and Vinny) having played at USF for CJL, there is a good chance they will continue to be big advocates for USF football. Their father played for Bowden at FSU.  All the siblings played at least HS football/softball/etc...

I personally know the entire family (went to HS with the siblings who own the place) and they are all very cool.  Good people and a great restaurant that has been able to last over 35 years and counting.

What time does Capogna's open? I figure that I better get there early if I want to sit at a table or the bar this year.

Update: I got off of my lazy fingers and looked it up. They open at Noon on Sundays (unless it changes for the tailgate).

If you want a mug, or a table, don't wait until two to show up!

GO BULLS!

It does tend to get pretty crowded in there...  But it's worth it.        I'd get there a little early if I were you.

sounds like a fun time and great place.  ive driven past it before.  however, i wont be able to make it over there this weekend.  i am installing new floors in my house and i live in brandon.  those 2 factors = no trip to clearwater for me
