Recently rebranded as Tall Boy, this historic Boca Raton establishment has served as a local neighborhood staple and dive bar destination since 1981.
Originally established as the city's first neighborhood bar, this local staple recently reclaimed its original identity as Tall Boy. Located right along the Florida East Coast Railway tracks, the venue features a laid-back, retro atmosphere that honors its 40-year history as a community gathering spot.
The kitchen serves up a focused menu of elevated pub favorites, including hand-smashed beef burgers, street tacos, and Southern-inspired snacks like fried pickles. With a full liquor bar, rotating draft selections, and plenty of TVs for sports, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating for a relaxed stop.
The space is frequently energized by live entertainment, ranging from stand-up comedy showcases to musical acts and karaoke. Its proximity to the old Boca depot and the constant rhythm of passing trains provides a unique backdrop for those seeking an authentic piece of South Florida heritage.
