Join award-winning host and author of CHUG & CHOW Todd Newton as he sails past the tourist traps and drops anchor in Big Pine Key, Florida, home to the quirky, historic, and delicious No Name Pub. Since 1931, this Keys icon has worn many hats—a grocery store, bait shop, rumored bordello, and now one of Florida’s most legendary dive bars and eateries.
In this episode, The Tattooed Traveler explores the colorful history of Big Pine Key, from bootleggers and rum-runners to the endangered Key deer and the storied Bahia Honda Bridge.
Then, we belly up to the bar with Brea, the pub’s general manager, catching her at shift change—right when the day drinkers drift to their boats and the sunset crowd rolls in. She spills the secrets behind the wall-to-wall dollar bills, the unforgettable pizza, and the magnetic charm that keeps wanderers coming back.
If you love Florida Keys history, dive bar culture, and food with a story, this one’s for you.
