What's the best dive bar where you live?

Here in Florida, my favorite is the Caribbean Club on 
Route 1 in Key Largo...
 

The Caribbean Club is a kinda biker/locals/tourist bar located in Key Largo, Florida. It's notable for being the oldest bar in the Upper Keys, having opened in 1938. The bar offers a festive waterfront setting with live music and beautiful sunset views. Here's where you'll find it: 104080 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037. Phone: +1 305-451-4466.
Described as a "classic Keys Bar" with a laid-back and tranquil atmosphere. They are known for their "Key Lime Pie Rum Punch". The bar is cash only, but an ATM is available.
The Caribbean Club itself is a bar only and does not serve food. However, the Take Two Food Truck is located in their parking lot and serves food Tuesday through Sunday. They also sometimes have other food trucks on Mondays.They do have live music, primarily Thursday through Sunday. They have a waterfront stage and move the music indoors if necessary. Notable acts include the Luke Sommer Glenn Band. Wednesdays are karaoke nights - we recommend going on any other night. The bar is famous for its incredible sunset views over the ocean and has won awards for "Best Sunset".
 

The Caribbean Club served as a filming location for exterior shots of the Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall film "Key Largo". It was also a filming location for the Netflix series "Bloodline". The walls are decorated with photos from the movie "Key Largo".
