My New Joint

Top choice in Florida Keys


My New Joint brings a serious dash of style to the Lower Keys. This spacious, warmly lit lounge has artfully made cocktails, excellent brews on tap (including local varieties), great tapas plates and platters of oysters, and live music most nights (from 7pm or 8pm). Nibble on house-smoked fish, charred Brussels sprouts, soft-shell crab steamed buns and other gourmet sharing plates.
