Key West
Looking like a battered old fishing boat that smashed onto the shore, BO's is awash with faded buoys, lifesavers and rusting license plates strung from its wooden rafters, and in some spots you needn't step outside to peer up at the moon. Regardless, the seafood is fantastic – with rich conch fritters, softshell crab sandwiches and tender fish tacos.
It's a fun and lively spot for a meal, especially when there's live music (Thursday, Friday and Sunday).
