Florida Keys "Hidden Gem"- the No Name Pub on Pine Key

Watch this video- maybe I'll see you here someday!       Scenes  in the “Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Caribbean” spy series take place inside the No Name Pub on Pine Key in the Florida Keys. Corey meets a contact there, amidst the thousands upon thousands of dollar bills hanging from the ceiling and walls.      This funky pub is off the beaten path and a great place to grab a cold beer and top-of-the-line pizza ( Hint : Get the shrimp pizza with bacon). If you can find it…go there! Its remoteness is why CIA Spymaster Corey Pearson uses it as a contact place to meet his undercover agents. Enjoy the video above I made of one his contact meetings.      Believe me, it’s worth it to make the detour off main Highway 1. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the area. I ordered the shrimp pizza (with bacon) and drank a few inexpensive beer refills in a souvenir glass. The video I took shows many of the Key Deer I saw when trying to find the place.        My wife

CIA SPY MEETS CONTACT AT NASSAU, BAHAMAS BRITISH COLONIAL HOTEL

     I love the British Colonial Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bullion Bar inside is plush and written into many of the scenes in my spy series "Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Caribbean." It is nicknamed the old "BC" by the locals and it brings back many memories for me. Get the FREE "Caribbean Best-Kept Secrets!" newsletter.       During Spring Break in my college days, in the 60's, I flew to Nassau with several fraternity brothers. We visited the BC often during our five-day break. It was, believe it or not, covered with a straw roof! Since then, My wife, daughter and I stayed at the BC several times, enjoying the lush tropical nine acres behind it with a private beach.       I made the video below while writing an episode of my spy series, where Corey Pearson meets his contact, Darnell Ferguson, in the back "Patio  Bar and Grill" open-air bar in the lush garden behind the British Colonial (Nine acres of garden!).
