The first time i can remember, The Florida Keys. The long road , narrow water on both sides. Beach, not to my understanding. Key West, Duval St, only what tourists see, was my first impression. WOW, that would change.


Today " i received a phone call from Al in Ramrod Key, a Florida Key. A Key that is about 27 miles from Key West. This is the day before the 2009 Super Bowl. Al: a rocker, drummer, out there kind a guy. Al and i met in a funny way. Al living near some small town in Massachusetts also having this cool place in the Florida Keys.
All in Ramrod Key,a Florida Key

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.

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

.

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.

"A nice place if you can find it."

As The Sign reads,this was true

Today, the day after 2009 super bowl in Tampa, Thinking over what Al,and i had talked about,or what was not.No Name Pub,why was it that so many famous people had found this mosquito infested island.,much less the pub. Was it because it set in some cove that pirates years ago found.











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. A short Link of Bob Jordan and the Atocha
