Caribbean Club
The oldest (and most famous) bar in the Upper Keys! The Caribbean Club is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience a piece of Florida Keys history while enjoying a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The outdoor area has picnic tables and a dock where you can sit and watch boats passing by. I've seen people get married out there and it's very beautiful.
Back in 1948, the Caribbean Club became famous when scenes from the movie Key Largo, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, were filmed there.
Bloodline, a popular Netflix series, was filmed in the Florida Keys and prominently featured the Caribbean Club in several episodes.
