Crumps’ Landing Homosassa Fl – River Tiki Bar!

Crump's Landing Homosassa Fl Tiki Bar
Crump’s Landing on Homosassa River.

Several months ago, we were doing some research on the Hernando County day trip featured here, we were standing across the river from Crump’s Landing Homosassa Fl and saw a raging fire destroying the sprawling tiki bar.

The fire seemed to burn out of control before the local fire department got its equipment in place to douse what was left of Crump’s Landing.

We admit Crump’s Landing wasn’t on our radar before watching the fire across the river from the Monkey Bar and other attractions.

A few months later, we decided to see how Crump’s was building back. Perhaps the fastest rebuild of a facility this size took place in a matter of these few months. 

Our curiosity led us to check out Crump’s Landing on Homosassa River. They built back better and bigger.

Crump’s Landing Homosassa Florida Great for Entertainment

Today, Crump’s is once again treating guests to a tiki bar experience on several waterside levels and a couple of stages for regular entertainment. 

Crump’s has their own gift store, huge parking lot, and multiple indoor and outdoor seating choices. Boaters love to visit for lunch or dinner while cruising the river.

You don’t commonly see tiki bars on a river, but this one makes a perfect exception. Their kitchen offers a wide range of typical bar food, but done better than many in the area.
