Join us at the Pint for a screening of one of the cheesiest movies ever made in the Keys: "The Beach Bum," starring Matthew McConaughey, Snoop Dogg, and Jimmy Buffett. This film has the potential to become the newest conch cult favorite! Dress up as your favorite character and join us for an evening of fun, including photo opportunities, prizes, and entertainment. The event kicks off at 8 pm, with the costume contest at 8:30 pm, and the movie starting around 9 pm.

Our hosts at the Southernmost Pint are a very small and family owned cozy brewpub & restaurant, where they make Blast Beer craft beers in house along with an ever changing menu of delicious gluten free dishes. Blast Beer Company started in 1990 as the brainchild of beer-loving Purdue University student Tadd Maudlin. With the craft brew movement just kicking off, Tadd drove hundreds of miles to find ingredients and bought books to learn all about how great beers are made. After educating himself with a little-known brewing process that breaks down gluten in beer he's brewed in Mexico, traveled the Caribbean extensively with his wife Lindsay, sailed their catamaran across the Atlantic Ocean to the UK, over to Europe, down to Africa and back again. Since then, he has enjoyed brewing beer and sharing the process with friends and family. We look forward to serving you, as well!

Come hang out with some of your favorite Key West performers playing all your trop rock favorites.
