We stopped by to this bar because it was open after 10pm on a Friday night. It is cash only so be prepared. They have an outdoor and an indoor section. The outdoor is very nice, live band, lots of chairs and a nice view of the water with a nice pier. We ordered michelobs $4 each. Not too bad. Inside there's a pool table and more tables to sit around and relax. The vibe was very nice. The service is great, we got attended right away at the outside bar. I've never noticed this place before, but now I won't ever forget it. Such a nice experience. read more

Outside on the sandy oasis was the live 70's rock n' roll band called the Luke Sommer Glenn Band absolutely killed it. Sat in the wooden chairs next to the water drinking my cold Spiny Hopster IPA 7% listening to the band. read more

That old guy who works there and controls everything outside was a complete asshole. Barely welcomed us when we got there and began to rush us and say "you're done with the water" and turned it off and told us to leave. We were there for maybe 5 minutes MAXIMUM. All the money I paid to be there to not even have more than 5 minutes to rinse both of my jetskies. Left feeling disrespected and disgusted with his attitude. Don't come!! read more

Very cool spot, very Chill!! Seemed to be filled with regulars & it's definitely a Dive bar, which is awesome, beers were ice cold & not too expensive!! Highly recommended for a chill sunset & the food truck was excellent as well!! read more

Fun afternoon to sunsets. Music and food trucks. It's right on the water to dock your boat.

Coldest beer around. Atmosphere of a local place. Ambiance you are looking for. Live music every day. Bartender did a wonderful job. CASH IS KING! No credit cards. Although an ATM is in-house. Not pretensive. Food truck outside. Boat launch is on property. read more

Caribbean Club - Entrance. - Dive Bars Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

Definitely a drinking destination, fortunately our RV Park is only a few properties north so it was an easy walk. We met two other couples here that were staying at the campground that we had met a year earlier while staying in the Keys so this was a great place to meet again for a few beers and cocktails. We arrived just after dark and the band was already on stage rock in the outdoor area playing some hard hitting country rock. We found seats near the water far enough from the band to still enjoy the music but still able to have a conversation. We grabbed few beers and cocktails at the outside bar, this bartender was efficient and very friendly it appeared that the house cocktails were pre-mixed but always came with a generous floater of rum or tequila depending on whether you ordered a Rum Hurricane or Sunset Margarita. Definitely not your typical cash only dive bar, it's a different level for sure. This bar opens at 7 AM and usually closes after 1 AM seven days a week and has been open since 1938 and operated by the same family since 1963, the Caribbean Club is the oldest bar in the Upper Keys, a place you can still experience what Old Key Largo was like and definitely worth your time to experience something unique to the area. Since this was an original film location for the movie "Key Largo" I'm confident Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson did shots here, "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world", you'll want to walk into this one... read more

The food and the atmosphere is great. It's a great people watching spot and the view of the gulf is amazing.

Caribbean Club - The sunset view!!! - Dive Bars Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

Can't really review much but walked in. There was no hostess. Also the place is cash only which sucked bc I never carry cash on me. So I had to leave. I do like that they had live music like most places do in the keys. read more

My friend and I had an amazing time at this place. We didn't eat. We only had drinks. Parking is free and the view it's simply breathtaking. I had a wine as I was enjoying the view and the live music. Prices are extremely good but bring cash because they only accept cash at the bar. No worries they also have an ATM machine for your convenience. read more

I never miss a stop at Carib on my way down to Key West. This spot is perfect for that first cocktail on your trip to the Keys. You can sit inside this quirky bar, which has a dive feel, or outside under the palms and watch the boats go by. I haven't tried the food, so I can't review that, but I just love this stop--the bartenders are always friendly. read more

This is a classic dive bar. Cheap drinks and good ol' boys abound. The night we went there was a tired old band playing classic rock badly, but the crowd loved it. Low standards are the norm for this place. The bathroom is scary - don't wear flip flops in there! There is a centrally located pool table, which always seems to have a game going. The food is just average, but passable for absorbing alcohol. If you want a classic old Florida dive bar experience, this checks the box. If you want something a little nicer, go next door to Big Chill or somewhere else. Party on Garth! read more

The Caribbean Club is a must visit if staying in Key Largo, or just passing through to Key West. Wednesday Night Karaoke was a blast!! It was managed well, and the audience participation really helped make it a fun time. Try to arrive early for the magnificent sunset!!! You definitely don't want to miss it! Food isn't served in the bar, and although they have a food truck on the property , it wasn't open while I was there on 2 occasions. read more

The view is great but the bartenders cold and uncaring attitude makes it a no go for us in the future.

No, no, no! The Caribbean Club is not a dive bar. At first impression it may look like it. It may at times even act like it, but it's not. What it really is, is a classical Keys Bar in the most classic sense of the term. You can tell it as it's possessed of that laid back Keys tranquility, being a special atmosphere of peaceful tranquility that only a true Keys bar can have. Then to top that, it's steeped in history, as a true Key bar must be. In this case everything from being a part of a Bogart movie to significant mention in the lyrics of Jimmy Buffet songs....so maybe an original part of the salt sands of Margaretville too! As bars go, Caribbean Club, is a drinking, chilling out and conversational socializing bar. So don't go here for food; not even a burger or a dog. They don't have any. Just bags of Lay potato chips. How some ever, if you politely ask in a quite tone of voice or maybe pleadingly beg, which I did, they'll serve you with some fresh smoked local fish. I was lucky enough to get Wahoo. So if you want to go to Key bar at its best, you can't do better than Caribbean Club, which is why I went Five Stars; best of its kind. read more

I absolutely loved the tranquility of coming here. We came early in the morning just to relax and take in some peaceful views. We sat on the deck on a picnic table and loved how besides one other table we were the only ones here. It's very simple here. Small location with the authentic relaxed vibe of the Keys. There are wooden seats everywhere facing the ocean. An area where the band plays, a dock so you can watch as boats and jet skiis pull up, leave, or drive by. You have the small bar mixing up nice drinks and beers which you can enjoy on their deck or walk your feet in the sand. They even have a hammock placed over the water that will leave you knocked out in seconds. We stayed here for hours just watching the ocean views. Cause sometimes you just want a cold drink with the ocean as your backyard and nothing but silence besides the birds chirping or the passerby's of an engine. A band does play here but being it wasn't even noon, it was to early to enjoy them but I've heard great things. If your in the mood for a cool relaxed vibe with good drinks and cool views, this is it! read more

This place has recently become my favorite dive bar on Key Largo!  The drinks are cheap and strong; both the bartenders and the patrons are friendly and fun :-) Outside, the place looks like a slice of paradise - inside it's classic dive bar.  Once you get inside, if you keep going you pass through a beachy seating area, and then come to a lovely dock.   I suggest that if you're in the area, you stop by and spend an hour here - you won't be sorry! read more

Great dive bar, CASH ONLY be prepared before you go. You can drive up to the dock in your jet skis and boat and tie them up to have a couple drinks. Drinks are well priced ($8 doubles, $6 singles, $7 specialty drinks). The key lime rum punch is to die for! Recommended for a quick drink while on the water. Also: compostable cups and straws. #savetheturtles read more

Horrible, rude bartender We came here on Wednesday march 3rd and Thursday march 4th- this review is concerning the behavior of the bartender on Thursday the 4th since the 3rd was great. So we came on Thursday March 4th, walked in and immediately wanted to leave because the one bartender ignored us even though no one else was ordering drinks-he was too busy talking to his buddies. No big deal, island life, we're not in a hurry! We pet his dog which was behind the counter next to a parrot that was sitting on the counter. We love pets so that's super awesome they allow them to be there! We finally order a drink and he is super rude to us, then proceeds to YELL-at the top of his lungs-at the (max) 10 patrons inside the bar to "PUT ON YOUR MASKS NOW WHETHER YOU ARE DRINKING OR NOT" ok, understandable, maybe a little harsh, but totally get that you want to follow the law(while your dog is standing up on the bar counters and behind the bar ??) We let that go, started talking to some friendly tourists, and within 30 seconds he starts screaming at everyone again "PUT YOUR MASKS ON OR GET THE FUCK OUT" so, we got the F out as did everyone else in the bar. Now here's the issue we had with this-everyone was being respectful and he DID NOT HAVE HIS MASK ON WHILE YELLING AT US. Not only that---he let his buddies by the pool table walk around with NO MASKS the entire time while bullying others. He clearly hated tourists and the locals there said that he is always like this to anyone he doesn't know. After this we went to Sharkeys- now we know why Caribbean club was dead that night. Disgusting way to treat your customers. We asked around and everyone knew exactly who we were talking about- Everyone said YEP that's Donovan! He's a huge jerk! So apparently they guy has a reputation for being awful to everyone and yet he's still a bartender there. I don't mind wearing masks, or not wearing masks, or pets or anything. But don't be SCREAMING at people for not wearing a mask(while DRINKING and SEATED) when your giant dog is jumping on people, and counters, and you literally brought a dog gate to keep your dog BEHIND the bar. 3 different people that we had just met said they would be reporting them to the health department. Sad for the owners. Would give one star but we had a great time Wednesday night (March 3rd) so 2 stars for that! read more

Sat here for a little while on the deck enjoying the view and a nice cold beer. I was here on a Tuesday and was able to connect with several locals.

Very relaxing bar. We came here because the bar was feature on the Bloodline series on Netflix Beautiful place to watch the sunset, get a cocktail or beer. No food is serve. Our bartender, Amy was awesome! The bar appears to be very pet friendly. There a stage in the left corner of bar, however, the night we arrive there was no live entertainment. read more

If I had a "Best Dive Bar" award to give I'd surely drop it here. This place is spectacular. We started our self guided pub crawl here while vacationing and staying nearby on a Thursday night. On the way in, the detail oriented patron will notice up above a bird with a food bowl and a sign suggesting the bird not be bothered! Once inside lookout here comes Zeus the super friendly Great Dane! Zeus was certain I still had my dog's treats in my purse. I did not. However the bartender gave me a couple treats and suggested I make Zeus work for them. Zeus proudly sat and shook my hand in exchange for the morsels. Now time to get a drink. Hubby got an ice cold corona and I had a Tito's and cranberry. Our bill was the cheapest I've seen since we got to Florida! $12 I believe. We wandered outside to the beachside Adirondack chairs to check out the entertainment. IT WAS BINGO NIGHT! Might as well have been a comedy club. The locals were cracking us up. I took a sip of my drink and realized how great a price we had gotten, this wasn't the tourist shot of Tito's, this was the locals pour! Anyway we had so much fun we returned two more times with my parents. There was a food truck next to the bar and you can get food there and take it in. Make some time to walk around inside and look at all the memorabilia on the walls. Cheers!e read more

Perfect for what it is. The Caribbean Club is a solid 3. Caribbean Club is also a perfect dive. You have everything you would expect here when visiting a dive bar and more scenery and character to boot. They do not serve food but they do have 1 snack item which is smoked fish, ... and it is pretty good. The important thing to know is that there are plenty of beers and cheap drinks. Service is reliable also. There is also a nice back patio with outdoor seating. I have usually chillaxed there while stopping in on my way back to Miami after some kayaking in the Keys. Bottom line, if you just want a drink or three this is a good choice. Cheers! read more

It was our second day in the Everglades National Park and we went south looking for a place for a cocktail, seat to watch the sunset, and a place that was dog friendly. Gosh, we almost passed this place by. We did a Uturn and came back. They had a full bar, seating out by the ocean, that was covered with sand and shade trees. A gift to us. I went in and ordered a draft and a pina colada. The inside of the bar was smoky and do friendly. It was also cash only. I paid gladly and we sat under a shade tree, with our dog, and watched the sunset. There is nothing fancy about this place but it was a gift from the heavens. If you are ever on Key Largo - give this place a try. We will go back over and over - Rover. read more

If you like dive bars. This is your place. If you are looking upscale. Then this gets 2 stars. Happy hour is 4-6 and has $3.50 well drinks. Music starts around 530p depending on the night. Out side seating is nice. Lots of grizzled locals inside so beware if that is not your vibe. We loved it. Watch out though. Cash only. read more

Just go. No food. Just drinks and live music. Every night. Get there before the sun goes down. You won't regret it.

Cash only? It's 2023. we rented a boat with promises of bluetooth. Nothing. I wasted at least an hour trying to figure it out for my friends. I asked to wait to take off until we figure out the Bluetooth.. nothing. When we did figure it out (only worked on captains phone) the speakers were busted.. also The owner , "Laurena" gave us the wrong directions, and when we told her in person, she said well, you could use Google or GPS. That was not professional at all. That's all I have to say. 30 dollar discount was not enough for me bringing my friends from Brasil. read more

While the locals are warm and friendly, the bartender, however, is the rudest fucking asshole, I have ever encountered anywhere. It started when I simply started chit chat asking a question about the bar when he threw a pamphlet at me and said "I don't have time, I'm busy. read this. But the real excitement happened when a woman ordered a strawberry daiquiri and then her husband showed up two minutes later and ordered one too, in which he snapped at them both saying "its a lot easier to make two than one at a time" then when her friend asked for one, he actually refused and said "no, I'm gonna wait till ALL of your friends get here. That way I can make these all at once, I don't have time for this." Guess what? Motherfucker, you do have time for this because you're a bartender and that's your fucking job. I'm new to Key Largo. I would love to come back to this bar, but I will never step foot in here again. What a HUGE DICK!!! read more

Dive Bar is right... This place was a dead zone. Dark, dusty, dirty. YUCK! We practically had to beg the bartender for a drink. I'd say it must be a local hang out? Everyone in here was in a fog and a daze. Bummer. Outside was beautiful and the water was epic. There were boats pulling up and that was festive. I'd say skip it. read more

My family has a tradition to stop a Caribbean club as the first stop on the way to the keys. After hearing many of their stories about the back patio I had to see for myself! I was not disappointed. This is a divey bar, expect that, but the charm is unique. We came early, got great service (cash only,) became friends with Sophie the cute yellow lab and found a spot on the back patio. Once we sat down, looked out at the water, we knew we were in paradise. Well at least compared to Cleveland, OH. This spot relieves the stress of life with a beautiful view and helps you step in the shoes of island life. read more
