How We Got Started

It all started back in the winter of 2001.  Weary of the technology world and discouraged by the "dot-com" implosion that was happening all around him, Doug Guller packed his bags and headed to Australia for a much-needed vacation.  While sitting at a bar on the Australian coast, watching some rugby on a small TV nearby, an attractive server approached and asked, "Wanna beer, Mate?"

At that moment, all Doug could do was smile.  Life suddenly made sense to him.  He thought to himself, "This is a nearly perfect combination: relaxing, drinking, sports, girls...

From that day on, all Doug could think about was creating a place close to home that combined that same beach vacation atmosphere with sporting events, friendly service, plus great food.  The idea behind the Bikini Sports Bar & Grill concept was soon born.

It wasn't long afterward that the first Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill location opened in Austin, Texas.  The popularity of the concept, which offered an unbeatable mix of sex appeal, sports, and delicious food, soon led to the opening of five more locations over the next three years, in Texas and beyond.
