Stars based on DIVE BAR rating...
As a dive bar, this one is true to form and deserves high marks! People watching, locals, ambiance, and bathrooms are all on par for a true dive bar.
The place has been a watering hole and the last bastion of hope for civility before you enter the conch republic since 1930.
If you are NOT a dive bar enthusiast, you will obviously drive on by thinking this place is dangerous, or that you might stick to something. And while the second part might be slightly true, it is anything but dangerous... in fact, quite friendly and inviting. Just drop your social stigma for a while and you'll find yourself joking around with the regulars in no time.
Now... if you ARE a dive bar enthusiast, well then this just may be your mecca! Seriously it is at the end of the road so to speak and it checks all the boxes. From this point south is mostly tourists, weekenders, and college kids.
Let's go over the dive bar qualifications:
-Package sales? Yes
-Dark and no windows? Yes
-Chips in vertical clip holders? Yes
-Scary bathroom? Yes
-Warm-hearted, ball-busting barkeep? Yes
-Neon beer signs that light the place? Yes
-Well-worn paths in the floor from foot traffic? Yes
There are so many more but trust me, if you are a dive bar fan, put this one on your list. And they even sell t-shirts so you can make your hipster friends jealous.
They are friendly, the beer is cheap, and the place is just historic.
So, stop in, have a cold one, say a prayer, then venture forth into the Keys.... never to return the same!
