I hope ya don't need me tonight

But if ya do I'll be at the bar at Gator Joe's... 


My kinda place. Usta be a biker bar 
but it's mellowing with age...
... 

Gator Joe’s is a local beach bar and grill, located on the sandy beaches of Lake Weir, in Ocklawaha. It was established in 1926 and has since been a popular destination for locals as well as tourists. People from all ages come out to Gator Joe’s to enjoy the white sand, hot sun, cool water, and the family-friendly Key West style atmosphere. Some arrive by car, while others arrive by boat or seaplane.

Gator Joe’s was built in 1926 and got its name from a large alligator “Old Joe” which lived in Lake Weir. When the FBI intercepted a letter from a notorious gang member referring to “Old Joe” living in a lake near their hideout, they were able to track down Ma Barker and her gang, right here in Ocklawaha. This is where the 4-hour gun battle took place and ended the criminal career of Kate “Ma” Barker and one of her sons.


Gator Joe’s, open 7 days a week, offers inside and outside seating, although the popular choice is outside by the water. The back deck stretches out over the lake, and is a front row seat for the most amazing sunsets! The Lake Weir sunsets, as well as the storms that drift in, result in breathtaking photos. The menu offers a wide variety of seafood, as well as burgers, salads, steak and ribs.
