Twenty minutes up the coast in Jupiter sits Guanabanas — part tiki bar, part jungle, entirely its own thing. It’s an open-air waterfront venue built around live oak trees with roots that run through the floor of the dining room. The kind of place that’s genuinely difficult to replicate anywhere else.
Come for the drinks — the cocktail list leans tropical and they do it well — but stay for the setting. Live music most evenings, a crowd that mixes locals with visiting boaters, and a view across the Jupiter Inlet that more than earns the reputation. The food is better than it needs to be for a bar of this character: fresh catch, good tacos, sharing plates that disappear fast.
It gets loud and lively after dark, particularly at weekends. If you want a quieter visit, early evening on a weekday is the move — you get the space to appreciate how strange and lovely the place is before the music ramps up.
Book a table on Friday or Saturday. Walk-ins work well midweek.
