FAMOUS KEY WEST PEOPLE
I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS,WHEN YOU SAY I GOTTA GO FISHIN AGAIN
Al, someone that, well to say what a friend. Some nights sleeping on his pool table. and not far is No Name Pub, well there you go, pub, by any other name spells trouble. Well contrary to your disbelief, what a place of history. This is where it begins.or When its begins.

This once remote Key, NO NAME KEY,NO NAME PUB, remote, to say the
least, pub , when seeing the place, everything you can believe, and more,
just from the appearance. Now no matter what you have heard second
thoughts still occur.. Its still time turn around, not to night. The
Rainbow Trail by Zane Grey, was spoken here, my first exposure to the
days of Zane Grey, oh I'm getting ahead of myself. No Name Pub, a Zayne
Grey second office in the Keys, later to be one of mine. No Name Pub,
the history, the wild west, well, great writers, why they come here, No
Name Pub. Real artist, Real Treasure hunters, Fisherman, and the trade no
one saw, all came. No one made a big deal who came or left.
No Name Pub history takes us far back to 1931 when we were a

general store
NO NAME PUB BIG PINE KEY
and bait and tackle shop.
We remained that way until 1936 when the owners added a
small room on to the
main structure which became an eatery. Thus the Pub was born.
Our early customers included people from all walks of life, world
travelers that arrived from the mainland via Ferry to the local
Fisherman. The late 1930s brought an interesting twist to
In an effort to increase business the upstairs storage room was
converted into a Brothel. Unfortunately, the venture failed after
several years as the Fisherman were reported to be better looking than
the ladies.
The 1940s saw the end of the
Brothel and beginning of a real
Keys landmark.
Travelers (we had few tourists back then) and locals alike began to discover this quirky out of the way place.
The ladies would do their shopping in the general store as the men
would browse the bait and tackle shop, then kick back and have a beer
and sandwich in our eatery.
It was during the 1950s that the general store and bait and tackle shop closed.
The Pub was now 100% bar and restaurant.
No Name was added to the already Pub name and we became forever more the
No Name Pub.
No Name Pub
quickly became a Keys hangout.
NO NAME PUB BIG PINE KEY
Our honky tonk atmosphere of beer drinking, pool shooting and great food eating became known from
Miami To Key West.
The place would get so smokey and crowded the customers would spill out
into the backyard where dice, crap and card games would eventually
break out.
The old timers say the place never got raided because the Sheriff ran the dice games.
1960 brought about another addition for the better to the Pub.
It was during this era that our famous pizza was born. Two great cooks
from Italy brought their recipe with them when they worked here.
For over 40 years we still use
the same great recipe, we have to, when the cooks left they wrote the recipe on the kitchen wall so we would never forget.
The 1970's and 80's was the rowdy time
of our history.
Jimmy Buffett's "Why don't we get drunk and screw" played on the juke
box while people would drink, eat and dance to excess in the Pub.
There was a lot of illegal money passing
through the Keys back then and everyone
loved to spend it. They had so much
money in fact they started hanging it on our walls
NO NAME PUB BIG PINE KEY
.
As the new millennium arrived the rowdies grew up and the No Name Pub
became a place once again where people from all walks of life could
enjoy great food, cold beer and good conversation.
Our juke box is still here, the walls
are covered with a few more dollar bills and we are one of the last great
places with that old Florida Keys atmosphere.

The first piece of art, Al, had heard, but where else. No Name Pub, selling bells, made out of scuba tanks. What a tip bell. Old times late 70's early 80's when Bob Jordan found the Atocha. Bob a real treasure hunter.,Pirates, No Name Key, and treasure.Al had been looking for some time for the first piece of art.Was it to be or was it going to be like Bob Jordan and the Keys.
