Ceruleans is closing down entertainment too
Something about a diabetic dog owner upstairs
Managers went upstairs after the complaint by the property owner
Could not hear anything
Owner turned off AC
Could not hear anything
Owner turned off dishwasher, fridge, fans
could not hear anything
Plus it ends at 9-10
But "The dog gets upset"
So no more entertainment at Ceruleans.
Folks, we need y'all to contact Joe and make a stand to help stem the flow of these closures / stoppages at 331 and elsewhere.
If we dont band (no pun) together and stand up for ourselves then nothing will happen and the wrinklies that come here twice a year that dont participate in ANYTHING but just moan about everything
"win"
Question
Why buy above a shopping area/bar/ unless expecting to hear SOME activity
duh

Apparently they have ceased entertainment again and food/beverage service. WTF?
It is just an art gallery now? Bummer, I liked that place. :(

Rumor has it that they are basically trying to end Cerulean's all together and get a leaser in there. Less overhead and hassle I guess.

should have done it a while back, and they need to lease out the cornet market store. That is the most prime commercial spot on 30A IMO. It should be filled with a great place.

I completely agree, the "food" establishment currently there is the blandest food on Earth. The pizza makes Sbarro look authentic.

I could definitely do w/o Starbucks and the corner food store/deli/whatever, but I liked Cerulean's.
It had great potential - coffeehouse, friendly staff, wine and tastings, art on the walls, live music, and a comfy couch.

They still have food/beverage service, though they have reduced their hours for winter to 12-5 tuesday-saturday.
Folks who want to get live entertainment back should stop by and sign the petition at the counter.

They profits which a great restaurant could bring in would offset the high rent.
Cerulean's had a chance to work, before St Joe allowed Starbuck's to go in next door. There is no competition between a single store like Ceruleans' and a corporation with the marketing dollars and National appeal of Starbuck's. It's like St Joe knew they were cutting off their own feet. On a similar note, compare the food at Fabrice to the food at the corner place in WC, and it is a joke. The corner place in WC makes Seagrove Market seem gourmet.

Cerulean's needs to be an art gallery/wine bar w/ great local live entertainment.
A coffee shop 50' from a starbucks - not the best business plan IMO!

Totally agree!

How about turn it into another Starbucks? Plenty of places have them on opposite street corners.
needs to get out more
...and survey says they brew good coffee.
what survey?

Yes! When they were playing live entertainment later that is where we all loved to go and kick back in the evening. That is the most comfy couch.

What's wrong with a nice bar/pub with music? The art gallery - wine bar concept reeks exclusivity. A clean, warm, friendly neighborhood pub with a decent restaurant on the corner could be a winning combo (either one by itself would also work).
You could also close off the side street and put some tables outside. A couple of low key street musicians, artists, magician . . . and you would have a real scene.
The sales offices across the street give you a whole floor for expansion for food or shops. Then the spaces across 30A and Fish Out of Water would become more succesful and could become complimentary.
I'm not sure this is what the resort wants at this time. Someday though . . .
