Crooks Den the

NOT gonna lie...............................................­..................................................­.....................My first night in Daytona Beach.. I am with my button up collar down schmazzy boyfriend..and then there is me... a jetlagged flight attendant... dressed in a tan JCrew trench coat and Jimmy Choos and $200 premium jeans and I don't look like I belong anywhere near a place like this.. BUT then there is a curious side of me that's like 'HELL to the YEAH'.. Take me there.. when it was suggested to me with a raise of the eyebrow...SO we meander in .. me.. the one blonde girl with several Nascar boys.. one being my boyfriend.. LOUD as hell music.. some girl wearing some holey bloomers and tank top with no bra and a cigarette hanging from her mouth.. but she's cute..and better yet.. shes funny with a mouth on her. This place was built for my alter ego and I loved it! Everyone should have a bit of wild child in them, right? As the night went on I swear the bartender got more and more drunk with the customers, as she will certainly do a shot with you now and then. Get out of line.. she will let you know too. It's a bit smoky. Be prepared to smell smoky when you leave. But know that you left a place that was clearly a good time. I may have seen things here I did not EVER expect to see in just an average bar. NOW I can say I have been to Daytona..:-)

This, I understand, is one the of grittiest biker bars in Daytona.
Sure, it's dark, a bit dingy and full of graffiti.

The bartenders are a tad on the rough side, but fun and will certainly do
shots with you.

The jukebox is loud and filled with rock and roll and Southern rock.

There are a couple of "stripper poles" located in the bar.

Are there bikers? Hell yeah. The first night we were there, three guys on bikes pulled hole shots out on the sidewalk, leaving the bar filled with thick smoke from the rear tires.

Overall though, it's a decent place and fun. Not for teh dance club crowd or the guys wearing polo shirts with popped collars. This a real bar where real people drink real drinks.

Cold beer, a loud jukebox, smoking inside permitted, and feisty women behind the bar. Bikers like this dark cave like place, and you might too!
