From the panhandle to the Keys, Florida has some of the best dive bars in the country. We are here to share some of those! Places like Flora-bama that is part in Florida and part in Alabama. We call it a 5000 seat dive bar! Then, about as far south as you can go is The Bull in Key West. Back north again is Haryy’s Bar in Carabelle, Florida – you have probably never hear of Carabelle or Harry’s! Then in the town of Crystal River, you will find a classic dive bar called Norton’s. This is where the local fishermen hang. If you are ever in Islamorada, there is a place owned by a former Pittsburg Steeler called The Oceanview Inn. Not sure we know what ocean view it is – we must not drink enough to see an ocean!
