Bahama Breeze Brings Touch Of Caribbean To Wesley Chapel

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL – Have an urge for jerk chicken or a refreshing Goombay Smash?

Starting Monday, July 16, Wesley Chapel residents will be able to indulge their Caribbean cravings with the opening of Bahama Breeze at 25830 Sierra Center Blvd., across from the Tampa Premium Outlets on State Road 54.

Overseen by general manager Jeannie LaFever, the Wesley Chapel Bahama Breeze will be the first location in the Tampa area featuring the company’s latest restaurant design.

The new look is rustic and reminiscent of a sugar mill you would see in the islands, inspired by the sugar cane that is made into rum in the Caribbean.

The 12,138-square-foot restaurant will accommodate more than 400 guests and will create 150 jobs for the local community.

Bahama Breeze offers more than 70 Caribbean-inspired dishes including beef empanadas, coconut shrimp, jerk chicken pasta and seafood paella.

The restaurant will offer happy hour most days of the week, where guests can enjoy specials on select handcrafted cocktails and half-priced appetizers. Throughout the year, the restaurant will host signature events like Reggae Fest, Viva la ‘Rita and Rumtoberfest, featuring signature cocktails and island-inspired dishes, live music and more.

Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
