Beloved Cocoa Beach neighborhood bar Tiny Tavern announces closure

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." Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Tiny Tavern built a loyal following despite its modest size. The pint-sized bar became known for its friendly bartenders, welcoming atmosphere and regular crowd of locals who gathered for drinks, conversation and nightly entertainment.

After launch, ULA Vulcan rocket may be seen in Southwest Florida sky

When United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, it may create quite a show in the sky − even for people in Southwest Florida. And this so Florida thing is coming up tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 13. The United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan rocket , which has been grounded since February 2026 when it experienced a mid-flight anomaly , is due to return to flight. The Vulcan rocket, which can fly with up to six solid rocket boosters mounted to the side, is expected to transport a batch of Amazon Leo satellites to low-Earth orbit following a liftoff scheduled for Friday, Nov 13, at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, according to the ULA , a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Although ULA Vulcan launches have been seen far beyond the launch pad (even in other states), the Vulcan rocket's returning launch this week may have lower visibility, due to the launch window falling in the middle of the day.
