Bongos Botanical Beer Garden

Bongos Botanical Beer Garden is a Grassy Key original, a lush outdoor tropical oasis carved into a natural oolite coral courtyard at The Lagoon adventure park on Mile Marker 59.3 alongside Keys Cable Park and The Rhum House, where the energy is permanently set to chill and the drinks are made with ingredients growing just feet from the bar. The beer garden pours a rotating selection of 20-plus craft beers on tap and signature cocktails crafted with fresh organic herbs, fruits, and local Keez Beez honey harvested directly from the "Grassy Grown" garden on the property, served to guests swinging in hammock chairs, playing lawn games on the open lawn, or strolling through the botanical garden to discover what's in season. The food truck is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM with a fresh, locally sourced menu, and weekends bring live music, weekend brunch, and the kind of casual communal energy that makes Bongos feel more like a backyard party at a very cool friend's house than a commercial bar. Private events, full moon parties, and special dinners can be arranged through the website, and the pet-friendly policy — dogs are welcome throughout the botanical garden and can even get a plain beef patty — makes it a true destination for the whole family.
