Less than 10-12 mins from Brandon, Fishhawk or Riverview....Keywest Style cafe, music, pub, family boat rentals and boat docks. This is a afternoon on the water fun beer cafe. Bring your flip-flops and remember what it was like in Keywest. This is on the Alafia River west of 75. Harleys and fast boats on display. Put your boat in at the ramp or pull it up to the docks. They also serve great food. They also have Boat Rentals to take the family out for a day on the river. They do have outdoor tables for food, but the party amoshfere on the weekends tends to be adults having fun listening to usually live music. I have been there manytimes and with the new grand opening Aug 24th/2008, they really did a great job upgrading the looks...Gary/2008...
