Flavrmeistr, are you sure of the name of Ralph's Stand-up bar and the hilltop tavern? I tried to google both and came up empty. also when you say the Old house in Lantana, do you mean the old key lime house? I'm a central Florida redneck, so feel free to dumb it down

curious: what was your book Bob?

Yankee clipper fish camp on 301 toward Ocala is the real thing. very rustic, with boat rentals and campsites. The bar and resturant is generic with a simple Bud Light neon sign in the window (if it's even still open)

Good for the full experience. I like this thread lets keep it alive

I think flavrmeistr and I share the same ideas as to what makes a place a dive. Keep em coming

these are great. Does anyone know anything about Cap't jon's fish camp or maybe it's uncle jon's fish camp around cocca area. I keep hearing about it and have been planning to check it out along with all the others

Hi, I'm looking for "old Florida-like" establishments or sometime called Florida Dive Bars between Palm Beach County and Daytona. Places that are sometimes hard to find but worth the effort. Places that you really have to see to appriciate. Bamboo is often involved, and some double as bait shacks, and others look ready to collapse. This mission is more about the atmosphere then the food, as I am trying to get into the roots of this state by imibing at its home grown watering holes.

Let me know what comes to mind. Thanks
