Open since 2004, The Dog N' Bone has become the hub of excitement in Central Brevard and has developed quite a strong following. The pub is located in the heart of historic Cocoa Village, which has come alive in recent years with the opening of new specialty shops, dining and entertainment venues that keep the community hopping until the wee hours. Co-owner Simon Wells is from England and co-owners, identical twins David and Richard Lemon, were born in Greece. The three have been friends for years and had always kidded that they should open a bar together. The current residence of The Dog N' Bone came available and they decided to make a go of it. Because the group wanted to move quickly to set up the business, they conducted most of their meetings over the phone. "Dog and Bone" is Cockney slang for telephone and that's how the Dog N' Bone got its name.
