Kickback Neighborhood Tavern Marks First Anniversary

The 8U Wellington Colts celebrate with Kickback General Manager Dan Hooker.

Kickback Neighborhood Tavern recently celebrated its first anniversary. The restaurant is known for its laid-back atmosphere, great food, neighborhood feel and live music. But for the past year, this Wellington staple has been “kicking back” to local organizations and charities.

Kickback has been hosting fun and unique events to get local Realtors, groups and organizations involved to be able to win the chance to have the tavern donate to their charity of choice or directly back to their organization. In the past year, Kickback has donated more than $5,000 to organizations such as Place of Hope, the Wellington Runners Club, the American Cancer Society, Hounds for Heroes and more.

Over the recent anniversary weekend, Kickback celebrated an incredible year by kicking off the weekend with a 1970s night with music by DJ Doozie. The local community came dressed in their groovy attire to dance, have great food and drinks, enjoy a surprise flash mob, and help donate to local charities who raised money through games and more.

The second day of celebrating was a family-friendly block party with a car show, vendors, face painting, animal rescues, foods specials, a dance performance from a local dance studio and more. Community leaders, such as the Wellington Village Council and council candidates, all came out to support the restaurant.

Kickback Neighborhood Tavern is located in the Wellington Plaza at 12771 W. Forest Hill Blvd. For more info., call (561) 795-0100 or visit www.kickbacktavern.com.
