Caribbean Club is a rustic waterfront bar on Overseas Highway in Key Largo, known for its connection to the Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall film Key Largo. Come for a drink, live music and a seat by the water as the sun goes down. Inside, you’ll find movie memorabilia and pool tables; outside, there’s seating near the bay and a dock. It’s a casual stop for a sunset, not a full restaurant: food is not served inside, though a food truck may be on site.
A Key Largo film location
Caribbean Club opened in 1938 and is among the oldest bars in the Upper Keys. Its exterior appeared in the 1947 film Key Largo, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The club also appears in outdoor scenes in the Netflix series Bloodline.
Inside, movie memorabilia recalls the bar’s screen history. The original hotel associated with the site is gone, so come for the surviving bar and its setting rather than expecting a preserved movie hotel. The club has also been part of a larger fishing camp; the hotel was lost in a fire.
Drinks, music and pool
The atmosphere is casual and rustic, with a bar, pool tables and space to sit outside. It works best as a stop for a drink and the setting, not as a place to plan dinner: food is not served inside. A food truck may be parked on site, but there is no guarantee it will be there during your visit.
Live music is scheduled for Thursday through Sunday nights. The club also hosts karaoke on Wednesdays, according to the available event information. A cash-only policy applies, so bring cash for your order.
A seat by the water
The outdoor area looks onto the bay and includes seating near the dock, where boats pass by. The sunset is a main reason to time your stop for late afternoon. If you want to watch from outside, arrive early enough to find a seat.
The dock is used by local boats. Fishing and swimming are not permitted, so keep your visit to the seating and bar areas. The address is 104080 Overseas Highway, Key Largo.
