It's not just a name – Eat an Alligator

Alligator Alley, on Commercial Blvd. is a really great bar. Its dark, small and a little sketchy, its my favorite kind of place a dive bar.

The small stage, stuck in the front of the joint, is perfect for hearing live local music, or rather than intimacy which makes local music great – that experience of being so close to the musicians if someone pushes you from behind you might pour a beer on their shoe.

Alligator Alley has a great selection of micro-brew beers, including (one of my personal favorites) holy mackerel, which they server out of a proper glass. The food menu though, because the Alligator in the name isn't just for kicks, they serve real alligator on the menu for around $8.

There's always something happening at this bar, and if not it's a pretty nice place to hang out until something does.
