JImbo's Place - The Best "Location" In South Florida


Jimbo’s Place


The Best “Location” In South Florida



The best way for me to describe Jimbo’s Place would be a combination of Armageddon, meets Woodstock in the 60’s, meets Southern California in the 50’s. Does that sound interesting to you? Well it does to directors of music, film and TV, photographers and many other people that are looking for something visual, different and fun to do or capture.

I decided to write this blog because Jimbo’s Place, owned by Jimbo Luznar since 1954 had a vision and decided to not follow everyone else and decided to open up a little dive shack for the locals. This is a place where boats could dock have a very reasonable priced beer, eat some fresh smoked fish and play some Bocce ball.

Located on Virginia Key, the city has tried to close the spot for quite some time and Jimbo’s Place has continued to survive. Exactly 6 months ago Jimbo’s Place had a fire which killed the electricity. Jimbo’s is currently working off a generator. I had the opportunity to visit again and wanted to share some of the photos with you. I hope you will stop by and keep places that are so unique like Jimbo’s alive!
