Uniquely metrosexual this gas station serves beer at the bar permits smoking and handles all your fishing needs. Only is a small town can you find a charming place like this that caters to its local customers without worrying about political correctness. The staff is great they’ll make you feel welcome as you enjoy your ice cold beer.

We purposely traveled to Melrose, Florida to visit Chiappini’s corner store. This came out of reading«Alligators in B-Flat» by Jeff Klinkinberg. The place is just as he described it in his book. There is drinking and smoking, but NOSPITTING and NOPROFANITY. Robin and his brother Mark are third generation owners and try their best to keep it as there grandfather created it. What a fun place to visit. Surely worth the time and effort. An earlier time in Florida. Be sure and visit the Mom And Pop grocery store across the street and the Ace hardware down SR21 several miles especially if you are interested in knives and bird feeders.

Chiappini’s Gulf Station is a gas station, bait shop, general store and bar – so yeah, there’s a lot going on at this little place. My friends and I stopped here on our way from wakeboarding at Lake Santa Fe and it was busy and seems to stay that way. It’s a local institution which has been around for years, if not decades, so check it out. The bait shop is especially beloved from what I hear.

Chiappini’s a Melrose tradition since 1935. It’s a gas station. it’s a convenience store, it’s a bait shop, it’s a bar! All crammed into a tiny little old building that is a must stop if you are passing by.
