Try this local hang out for the Florida dive bar scene. Rarely a tourists here. Friendly staff, locals, low drink prices and pool tables, make this a popular spot. Beware, though, it is one of the few bars that still allows smoking inside as it is grandfathered in under the law. Definitely not for families.
