In a conversation with Chris Van Vliet, Hulk Hogan delved into his unique venue, which quietly opened its doors on December 27, 2020. The restaurant serves as Hogan’s second venture as a restauranteur. The first was Hogan’s Beach on the Courtney Campbell Causeway (which closed in 2015). Hogan revealed that this spot held a special place in his heart since his younger days, and when he gained ownership, he frequented it regularly.

He disclosed that during the wild days of his Tampa club, Hogan’s Beach, when heavy metal music filled the air, he would retreat to this covert hangout near his house. Van Vliet noted that this was indeed the best-kept secret as every Monday, fans would have a chance to meet or catch a glimpse of Hogan at the restaurant.

Hogan added, “But it… it is like the best-kept secret…. secret. But because we give away title belts every week like to the best male singer. You get a title belt, the best female… you get a title belt. Yeah. Then we have quarterfinals and at the quarterfinals, we give away cash which was last week.”

He also stated, “And then once a year we’ve got the Undisputed Champion where we give away a lot of money. So, it gets real competitive in here and I’ve got people flying in from Jersey, from New York, from Vegas just to come in this thing and go crazy in here you know. Jason Aline’s been in here, of course Rodman’s been here it’s just been nuts.”

The unique concept, building on the wrestling world, has attracted visitors from far and wide. Due to this fun plan, people fly in from places like New Jersey, New York, and Vegas just to partake in the excitement. Speaking of Hogan taking inspiration from the wrestling world, did you know that Hogan updated his WWE contract this year?
