While trying to enter Ocean Lab Brewing Company from the
beach at Carolina, Puerto Rico, we were stopped by a burly security guard. He
told us we couldn’t walk through this private club named Vivo, and pointed us
around the building to the street side to enter the restaurant from the parking
lot with the rest of the lowly non-members.
Well, exc-u-u-u-u-se me! (Fellow Boomers will recognize that
reference.)
Our table on the third-floor balcony at Ocean Lab gave us a
bird’s eye view of the Vivo Beach Club, so we googled it. It calls itself “the
hottest private beach club in town.” You can join, or pay $40 for a day pass.
This video shows you what you get.
After lunch, Bob tried to sneak through the club again to
get out to the beach. Despite putting on his very best
I-belong-here-don’t-mess-with-me act, he was stopped by the alert security
guards and rerouted to the pedestrian exit. Foiled again!
