Cabbage Patch

The Cabbage Patch is one of the best known bars in the Daytona area. Known for it's coleslaw wrestling event internationally,  we will have a video correspondent for that, but we wanted to be able to move around so we did it on the first Monday afternoon of Bike week. The weather was great and it was easy to fine parking.


The Cabbage front door

The parking staff at the cabbage patch are friendly and will guide you in and point out an available parking place for your scoot. Although bands play outside under covered canopies the real entertainment at the cabbage patch is people watching.

The back lot of the Cabbage Patch is where the parking, vendors, camping, coleslaw wrestling and most of the other activities take place. The vendors sell New Orleans style beads and some of the more spirited women have a large collection. The Cabbage Patch is a privately owned and operated by Ronnie Luznar , who is a for the most part is a straight up kind a guy. The Beer is $2.50 a can, more importantly the bottled water is $1.00. Except for the day of the coleslaw wrestling. The beer is $5.00 a can...ouch. There are several bars and they do serve mixed drinks.

The inside bar is small, but full of character. Even off season, the Cabbage Patch is the kind of bar weekend bikers come to sit around and talk. It's a safe place to hang out. (slip the parking guy a fiver and ask him to keep and extra eye watch your scoot). It is rare to hear of a crime being committed there (aside from indecent exposure), but it's nice to know someone is being vigilant.

During peak hours or events, Deputies will be in the area for security. The deputies will most likely enforce minor violations at the Cabbage Patch during the coleslaw wrestling. Probably to establish a presence and keep the crowd under control.

This is a great place to meet people, socialize and people watching. The staff is friendly and service quick. The waitresses are local girls, willing to work their butts off for a tip.

We have video of the coleslaw wrestling event bike week 2004 and will make it available as soon as possible. Our cameraman was not happy about the price of the beer near the coleslaw pit. Give us a break, Ronnie!
