Big news for food lovers and community folks in Venice. A Brand-new restaurant and bar called Coach’s Bar and Grill is gearing up to open its doors in the heart of downtown Venice at 124 W. Venice Avenue (view on Google Maps) — right where 124 Breakfast, Lunch, & More used to be.
Coach’s is shaping up to be more than just another place to eat — it’s being designed as a true neighborhood gathering spot, welcoming families, friends, and visitors alike for great food, cold drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. The owners plan to offer seating for nearly 100 guests inside, plus about 40 more on a comfortable outdoor patio perfect for sunny Florida days and breezy evenings.
The menu is being built around homemade favorites with plenty of variety, from juicy ribeye steaks and lobster rolls to wings, creative sandwiches, and even Cajun-style dishes. Everything is made from scratch — yes, even the fries — and includes a mix of classic comfort food and chef-inspired plates designed to appeal to all tastes.
Coach’s Bar and Grill is a family-run business, with owner Rob Burton leading the charge alongside his wife Jennifer and daughter Brooke. Their vision is to make this restaurant a place where regulars feel welcome, local schools and teams are supported, and neighbors have somewhere to connect over good food and good company.
They’re targeting a February 1–15 opening, with seven-day service beginning at lunch and running into the evening — and talk of future brunch hours is already in the works.
If you’re in the mood for something new to try in downtown Venice, keep an eye out for Coach’s Bar and Grill — it’s definitely poised to become a community favorite!
