A longtime Cocoa Beach neighborhood bar is preparing to pour its last drink, bringing an end to a gathering spot that has been a fixture in the community for decades. The Tiny Tavern , a little neighborhood bar at 201 Taft Ave., announced on social media that it will close Jan. 5, 2027. "Over the years, we have poured our hearts into making this little neighborhood bar something special," owner Heidi Vargus wrote. "Let’s fill these final weeks with live music, karaoke, laughter, hugs, good friends, and all the things that have made The Tiny Tavern such a beloved neighborhood gathering place."

Florida School Board reviewing applicants for next superintendent

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A dozen candidates, including two current school district employees, have applied to be the next school superintendent. Superintendent David Moore notified the School Board in August he plans to retire in June. The board set a tight timeline for receiving applications, soliciting public input, interviewing finalists and naming a replacement for Moore by mid-December. The board wants to select and hire a new superintendent who can work with Moore before he leaves. Moore, who became superintendent in 2019, is credited with leading the Indian River County School District through transformational change, helping it improve from 38th in the state to fifth. The district has received four consecutive "A" grades from the Florida Department of Education. Application deadline was Oct. 26. The next step is for the School Board to review applications at a public workshop, 12:45 p.m. Nov. 17. Finalists are expected to be named at the workshop, with interviews to begin next month. The two internal candidates — William Dodds and Christina Jacobs — have extensive experience within the school district. Dodds has been district chief financial officer since earlier this year. He previously was principal of Sebastian Charter Junior High from 2017-2026 and an

COA, th e Cocoa Beach restaurant linked to a Backstreet Boys singer, has announced it will close its doors on Nov. 21, ending a run of about a year and a half in business. Located at The Surf condominiums at 65 N. Atlantic Ave., the restaurant announced on social media that it will cease operations later this month. "We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us and helped make COA such a special place," the post said. "Thank you to our incredible staff and the community for all the love, support and memories along the way." The closure comes roughly 18 months after COA opened, adding to a growing list of recent restaurant changes on the Space Coast. The restaurant focused on contemporary American cuisine inspired by global flavors and culinary techniques, while the lounge offered a Mediterranean-inspired Florida atmosphere centered on craft cocktails. The restaurant was one of the commercial components of The Surf, an oceanfront mixed-use development that counts Backstreet Boys singer and Cocoa Beach native Howie Dorough among its partners.
