Black Dog Bar & Tables

The vibe is casual & friendly.  No, very casual and very friendly.  It permeates this place, and transmits from owners to patrons.  The beer selection is excellent and the bartender (who is also the owner Jay when I have been there) will make recommendations, remembers names, and makes great small talk. There are delicious, local fresh roasted peanuts.  The only strike is that it has no food, but they are pretty transparent that they are not a restaurant. The bar is named after the owners' actual black dog, who is named Otis and will plays ball. It's a place you can drink, swear, and have a great time. May not be for everyone, but perfect in my book.

Cool Cigar Bar. CASH ONLY!! Lots of different beer selections. You can hang out inside or on the front or back deck. You can play a game of Chess, Darts, or Cornhole while you hang out. It was completely empty both nights we went (Fri-Sat), so we had the entire bar to ourselves. I think if they want more people here, maybe offer some type of live music, even if it was just a one man show.

By far the coolest place in Cedar Key!  We really enjoyed hanging with owners Jay and Connie with their dog Otis.  Awesome sangria, microbrews, wines, cigars, and atmosphere.  No food, pick up something before you come in (avoid Seabreeze next door).  Bring cash or check (common practice in this area).
