  1. Posey's Oyster Bar

    Perhaps the highlight of the Tallahassee-St Marks Historic Railroad State Trail; is just to the left of the St Marks trailhead (which also has a rest area and facilities). Posey's Oyster Bar is an absolute pearl of an old-time oyster shack on the water, with an outdoor courtyard, great bar and bands rocking the joint Friday to Sunday... so you may want to arrange for alternative transport on the way back.

    Back Booth

    A totally chilled venue where Belgian Hoogarten ales live in harmony with Pabst Blue Ribbon cans. 'A cross between a frat party dance floor and an English pub' doesn't begin to sum up the unusual decor here. You just have to be here to get it. In addition to theme nights and karaoke, bands with cool names play live and loud.

    Jannus Landing

    The best place in the area to hear live music, Jannus Landing is St Petersburg’s most revered live venue, with good reason. Set in a courtyard, it hosts several weekly concerts by local and national bands. It’s a very casual place and all ages are admitted. Burgers, hot dogs and such are sold.

    TradeWinds Lounge

    Tiny bathrooms and big hairdos rule this nautical-themed dive. Smelling sweetly of stale beer, this classic bar’s survived two locations and six decades. Crowds tumble out the door during happy hour, and there’s live music – mostly Southern rock or 80s music – nightly.

    Backstreet Coffee House & Lounge

    Hidden on a throughway one block west of St George St, this bohemian haunt with mismatched lounges has great rock and alternative bands. If you hurry, you might still get to decorate one of the ceiling tiles.

    Green Parrot

    With tenure as the island's oldest bar (since 1890) this fabulous dive draws a lively mix of locals and out-of-towners; if you don't meet someone interesting, move over a seat.

    A good place to start the infamous Duval Pub Crawl, the Hog’s Breath is a rockin’ outdoor bar with good live bands and better cold Coronas.

    Buddha Nightclub

    It can get rowdy in here, but past the bikers and the guys on the pool table are some of the edgier acts playing around Fort Myers.

  14. Will's Pub

    Off the beaten path but worth it for the great live music and atmosphere refined to the tastes of Orlando's tattooed masses.
