Location:

Notes:

""Anything goes here and usually does. In fact, anything's been going here for more than 50 years. An eclectic crowd populates this spot in Key Largo, and a similarly eclectic crowd drops in to watch the eclectic crowd. They are a mix of retirees, boaters, kids...well, just about everyone who is near. Locally made Key West Lager and Sunset Ale are popular, abetted by conch fritters, steamed shrimp and similar munchies. The fare is light, as is the atmosphere. On weekends, there is a live band at this popular spot in the mangrove swamps." - Yahoo Travel."  - www.AlabamaJacks.com

Grouper Tacos are excellent and they keep Sirius Radio on 31! Good bbq pork and great steaks! Burgers and Fries in Paradise! The fried grouper sandwich, served on sourdough bun, is sinfully good.

Go east on the road that crosses the island. When the road dead ends (at the beach), the bar is on the left.

It's on the beach. It's far enough away that most cruise ship passengers will never visit yet close enough that you can get there as quickly (in a car) as you could walk to a bar in town. www.mezcalitos.com

Costa Rica

Playa Del Coco
Name:

Father Roosters

Location:

Located on the beach in Playa Ocotal. Follow the road from Coco right to the beach.

Notes:

The Father Rooster is just a short drive from Coco and is the perfect spot to have a romantic dinner, a family meal, or a casual drink with friends. In Costa Rica, all buildings must be 50 meters from the ocean. Father Rooster is grandfathered in as it is a 90 year old farmhouse built in 1917. The food is great! They have a famous drink called a Tica Linda that is huge and does not taste strong. They told me that there are 3.5 shots in each Tica Linda after we already had two of them.... Also, it is very cheap, good quality and great service. If you are looking for a beach bar, this is the best that I have seen in the entire world! www.fatherrooster.com

St. Maarten

St. Martin Island
Name:

Dinghy Dock Bar

Location:

Located at Captain Oliver's resort, which straddles the French/Dutch border at Oyster Pond on St. Marten.

Notes: "The best bar in this hemisphere.."  The place never closes...it seems like they go from pouring shots at 4 a.m. in the morning to pouring espresso at 5 a.m. You can sail right up to it or drive to Captain Oliver's and just walk down the hill.  From 5-7 p.m. it's "Mix Your Own" happy hour. For two bucks you get a glass and the bottle of whatever you're drinking. Pour to your heart's content. The bartenders are great and the food is just as good.
