Those living in Homosassa, Florida know that it can be hard to find something fun to go out and enjoy locally on a Friday night. It can take half the fun out of your evening knowing that when its over you have at least an hour drive back from places like Ocala or Tampa, not to mention running the risk of getting pulled over in the early hours of the morning. And staying at home with a TV or computer screen isn’t a very special way to end your week and start relaxing. So just where is a local happening place to have a great start to your weekend?

This casual, relaxed, music-filled bar may not have food (anymore), but the Colonel definitely has some of the best bartenders and drink mixers in Citrus County.

Some people go to just sit in the corner and enjoy their drink by themselves as they listen to the karaoke, and there are plenty of regulars who do just that on any night of the week. But so many more go to take full advantage of doing karaoke themselves.
