The bartender works at Pop’s Sunset Grill and now he’s gaining attention across the country.
Florida Bartender Hailed A Hero
While working at the bar in Sarasota County, the bartender, Dominic, witnessed a vehicle on the other side of the waterway drive through a parking lot, over a sea wall, and into the water, according to BroBible.
Dominic took quick action and was able to save the driver’s life. There’s even video to show it all happening from security footage. Check it out below!
in the video above, you can see it all play out. You can watch as the SUV enters the water and even starts to float away.
Pop’s Sunset Grill took to Facebook to praise their bartender. They thanked him for his quick thinking and taking action. Doing that saved the driver’s life. Here’s what they had to say.
In the Facebook post, the restaurant says Dominic, “jumped into the water with a police baton and managed to break the window and saved the driver.” He’s seen with the man whom he saved in a photo.

I couldn’t imagine seeing this happen! Let along deciding to jump in the water to try to save them. Aren’t there gators in Florida waterways? That water definitely looks like it would have a gator or two in it. That would be enough to prevent me from jumping in.
Congratulations to Dominic for being a hero! Not everyone would have made the same decision, and he deserves the praise for it! Hopefully the restaurant gives him a little raise now that he’s brought a lot of positive Public Relations to the restaurant. I’d say he deserves it. The man he saves probably agrees, too!
Florida Has One of the Best Winter Getaways in the U.S.
It’s never too early to start planning an exciting winter getaway, especially since the most popular winter vacation spots get booked up quickly. The good news, though, is that most people take vacations in the summer, so traveling in the winter can be a bit more relaxing. You are also able to usually find better travel rates during the winter season, except during the holidays. If you don’t have to travel during the holidays, just don’t, because it’s a mess. So, what are the best winter getaways in the U.S.? Florida has one of them.
I’ve researched some of the most popular winter vacation destinations in hopes of finding the perfect spot. The following list includes not just sunny, warm getaways, but also some areas that people who love snow can enjoy. Honestly, many people who live in a warm climate like to flock to a snowy location for a bit during the winter to get that seasonal experience, even if that seems counter intuitive. Of course, those who live in the northern parts of America love to go to a warm spot and get away from their daily lives filled with snow and ice.
I’m a Michigan girl, so I’m very familiar with the cold and ice in the winter. Not that I like it. Each year, I say I’m going to escape, even if it’s just for a few days, to a warmer location. But, I never do. Maybe this year will be different. Looking at vacation rates, it’s fairly easy to find some good deals, again, if it’s not during the holiday travel season. Read on for some of the bets winter getaways in the U.S., based on my research. What’s your favorite winter vacation spot? Reach out to me on social media here and let me know. Have a fantastic winter, and stay warm.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
