Feeling Groovy and Gritty in Key Biscayne, Florida

Hard to find but impossible to miss, Jimbo's joint is the place to order up an ice-cold beer and the only edible item on the menu: spectacular smoked fish. Surrounded by vibrant shacks, sometimes occupied by rowdy live bands, this watering hole shares space with equally colorful wildlife. Roosters, chicken, dogs, herons, and pelicans are aplenty, and if you're lucky, you may just spot an endangered manatee in the lagoon. Talk about a place with spunk! So enjoy the sights—the "usual" suspects provide great people watching—and you'll feel delightfully disconnected from civilization.

  • Caitlin Granfield Jimbo's Island has not been operating for quite a while now. While it lasted it was the ultimate hang-out but if you check their website you'll see that it is no longer up and running.
