The Anclote River Boat Club

Tucked away at the end of a dirt road in Tarpon Springs, this Old Florida institution is famous for its distinct tilt toward the river. Visitors are greeted by a 16-foot dinghy perched high in a tree—a landmark left by a 1993 storm—before entering a wood-paneled space filled with decades of graffiti and eclectic collectibles. It is a no-frills watering hole that serves cold beer and hard seltzers but does not offer hard liquor. The riverside deck provides views of the water, making it a favorite hidden gem for those who appreciate an authentic, local atmosphere far removed from modern trends. Nearby attractions include the historic Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks and Anclote River Park.
