About Joyland Country Junction

Joyland has been a Florida favorite for 30 years, renowned for country music themes and line dancing. It is a great night club to enjoy drinks while watching live music. The club was a live music staple in southwest Florida and saw early performances by some of country music’s biggest stars. Over the years, the Joyland stage was graced by artists such as Joe Nichols, Florida Georgia Line, Uncle Kracker, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Montgomery Gentry and Trace Adkins.

The venue began in 1958 as an event pavilion at Joyland Amusement Park in Pinellas Park. Previous owner Rick Lambert’s family purchased it in 1987. The Bradenton club changed its locations several times before settling on a 15,000-square foot facility. Joyland was purchased by Scott Serbin and Peter Mendelsohn, local country musicians who had frequently performed at Joyland.
