BRIAN KELLEY AND FRIENDS OPEN PAPA SURF BURGER BAR IN FLORIDA

Partners Brian and Brittney KelleyJason and Brittany Aldean, and Tom and Chris Glavine hosted a private celebration Sunday (10/29) for the grand opening of their new restaurant, Papa Surf Burger Bar, located in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. This marks the second business owned by the Kelleys in the area, as they opened the brick-and-mortar location for their Tribe Kelley line, Tribe Kelley Surf Post, in 2018.

“My wife Brittney and I are just so fired up that the Papa Surf Burger Bar is officially open,” shares Brian Kelley. “There will be so many special moments and memories made there. The vibe is real, the energy is great, and the burgers are next level. We’re so thankful to our partners for dreaming this all up together, and our team for working so hard to bring our vision to life.”

Welcoming family and close friends to an intimate menu sampling of made-to-order burgers like “The Beach Cowboy” and “Burnin’ It Down” – named after songs by Kelley and Aldean respectively – the 50 guests raised a toast with a signature house drink called “Papa’s Punch” and champagne. Offering an array of delectable sandwiches, salads, and sides, check out the full menu here. In addition, Kelley treated the crowd to a full band show live from the Cortney Bishop-designed restaurant, performing recent releases like his Top 30-and-climbing single “See You Next Summer” and “Dirt Cheap,” plus previewing some unreleased tracks from his upcoming debut album with Big Machine Records. Aldean also joined Kelley for his hit “Burnin’ It Down,” which Kelley cowrote.

Papa Surf Burger Bar is now open to the public. Find more details on the restaurant, founders, and the legend of “Papa Surf” here.
