Cabbage Patch Bar

549 County Road 415, New Smyrna Beach, FL

Established in 1926, Sopotnick's Cabbage Patch Bar is a historic five-acre destination in Samsula famous for its legendary coleslaw wrestling events.

Located in the rural farming community of Samsula, just west of New Smyrna Beach, this sprawling five-acre property is one of the most recognizable stops in the Florida motorcycle scene. Originally a gathering spot for local loggers and citrus farmers, the venue has evolved over a century into a massive outdoor event space featuring multiple bars and live music stages under open-air pavilions. The bar is internationally renowned for its biannual women’s coleslaw wrestling competition, which draws thousands of spectators during major regional rallies. When the massive crowds aren't gathered for events, the bar operates as a classic roadhouse, serving cold drinks and hearty comfort food like pulled pork sandwiches, burgers, and homemade chili. Notable for its gritty, authentic atmosphere, the property remains family-owned and retains much of its original character. Its location on County Road 415 (Tomoka Farms Road) makes it a popular waypoint for riders exploring the open backroads between Daytona Beach and the central Florida interior.
