Sopotnick's
Cabbage
Patch Bar
SAMSULA, FLORIDA · EST. 1926 · PAINTED: NEVER
“A little podunk run-down bar in the middle of nowhere that people absolutely love.”
— a guy at the bar, on the record, proud of it
A Century in the Making
Out in the palmettos of Samsula, before the highways came and the strip malls spread, there was a place where the road simply ended and the good times began.
Sopotnick’s Cabbage Patch has been that place since 1926 — older than most of Florida’s famous landmarks, and a damn sight more interesting than any of them.
What started as a gathering spot for loggers and citrus farmers evolved, decade by decade, into the legendary biker bar it is today. The oak trees out front were saplings when the first cold beer was poured here. The bar itself has seen Prohibition, the Depression, World War II, and the first Bike Week — and it never once closed its doors. 1926 Year Founded 100 Years Running 1 Place Like It
Over the decades, this rustic, roadside hidden gem—also known as Sopotnick’s—has evolved into a vibrant community hub. Adorned with historic memorabilia, it is beloved by both locals and passing bikers for its cold drinks, hearty comfort food like burgers and homemade chili, and lively weekends featuring outdoor live music. Today, the Cabbage Patch remains an authentic slice of Floridian culture and a welcoming place where friends old and new gather because, as Roger succinctly puts it: “It’s just a great time!”

since way back...
★ COLESLAW WRESTLING ★
YES. IT’S EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. A pit. A frankly irresponsible amount of coleslaw. FREE Beer for the Wrestlers. A crowd that drove across state lines to watch. Every Bike Week & Biketoberfest, people who have seen the ocean, the Grand Canyon, and the inside of a church tell us this is the thing they’ll never forget. We did not invent dignity. We are not responsible for its absence. Held during Bike Week & Biketoberfest. Dates announced when we announce them — check the Facebook group or call the bar like it’s 1987.
Next Up: Biketoberfest ’26 Mid-October, same as the last 33. Number 34 lands in our hundredth year, so expect it loud.

Findin’ the Place...
549 Tomoka Farms Rd, Samsula, FL 32168
Head west out of New Smyrna until the pavement gets lonely. When you hit a STOP sign in the middle of absolutely f*cking nowhere, look left — that’s us.
Phone still works: (386) 427-8969. A human answers. Sometimes the right one.
Need A Bar? Cold beer. Warm wall. We got a hundred years of practice.
Remembering the Man that made it all possible...
