Three months after abruptly closing in Sulphur Springs, beloved biker bar and music venue Born Free is still looking for a new home.

Co-owner Afzaal Deen told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that his search for a new venue is going well, and added that he’s looking for a space with a full bar, kitchen and performance space (or space to build one out). He’s also hoping to find a full liquor license attached to a spot where at least half of the revenue comes from food or other retail sales.

“We are also offering 50% or more equity in the Born Free business entity and assets to secure another partner along with my wife and myself,” he added. “The plan is clear but it will take some time to secure all the necessary features we are looking for.”

In the meantime, Tampa venue Orpheum opens its doors for a benefit show to help the Deens raise capital for Born Free’s new home. Homegrown hardcore bands (Plague Spitter, Cold Steel, Illuminate Me) are on the bill, and so are other Sunshine State heavy hitters like Port Charlotte’s Gajin, and Spit Truth which brings the spirit of 2006 hardcore back by channeling influences like Mindset, Down To Nothing, and Kids Like Us.

Tickets for the Born Free benefit at Tampa Orpheum on Saturday, Jan. 20 are still available for $15.
