Jimbo's 81st B-Day this Sunday
I remember the first time I visited Jimbo's almost 5 years ago, I was with a girlfriend from the past and her mother and the mother wouldn't stop talking about how great this place was. Honestly I was a little worried driving up to the place; garbage piles on the sides of the road, shacks here and there and some pretty rough looking bikers. I swore I had just stepped off the plane and into Port Au Prince. After mine and my girls initial shock we saw beneath the dumpy veneer and saw the inner beauty of Jimbos's. Kinda like seeing the inner beauty of the bums that wander DwnTwn.
Anyhow I digress, Jimbo celebrates his 81st birthday this Sunday (4/13) and if you haven't been to a Jimbo b-day bash then make sure to mark your calendar cause they are legendary. People of all shapes and sizes, colors and backgrounds swarm the beautiful dump on Virginia Key from noon to sundown drinking beer, playing bocce ball, listening to music and just having a great time. Last year there was a huge Presidente Beer truck dispensing free hops goodness and as always the smoked fish in a bag is on sale. I highly recommend it to those who haven't been, and those who frequent Jimbo's often...See you there! Jimbo's is located at the end of Virginia Key.

UPDATE: Reader Keyrat reminds us to mention to the guard house upon entering Virginia Key that you are going to Jimbo's to avoid paying anything.
