Coach Jay Wright Visits Twisties Tavern in Strathmere

Twisties on the Bay in Strathmere made a surprise return earlier this season after sitting out the 2025 season.

The iconic red building at 236 Bayview Drive had a surprising soft opening back in May after new owners reopened the beloved Strathmere favorite.

After the 2024 season, the business went up for sale, and then remained shuttered all of 2025.
