“This is what inspired us to create our little hometown bar, Double Roads. We wanted to create a special environment and pay homage to the history of Jupiter, it’s residents, and it’s way of life,” says Double’s Road owner Vince Flora.

“This is reflected in offering the best live music in Jupiter and food that celebrates Jupiter’s culture and South Florida history. For me, it was about doing what I’ve always done but for my family and myself. My wife and I had a goal to build a local music mecca with great food and world class music and we feel we are bringing some great culture to this area and are proud to be doing it. With all of the development going on in our town we wanted to make sure that the history of our town is not forgotten. With local recipes, using local produce and meats, and local live bands playing all your favorites.”

DOUBLE ROADS TAVERN

“Live music is the cure for what ails ya’.” – Henry Rollins Live music is an entirely crucial component to the Jupiter and South Florida lifestyle, albeit it doesn’t always involve Jimmy Buffett covers. Sometimes it involves an ambiance devoid of sunshine, but filled with bright lights in a closed-off tavern decorated with vinyl records on the walls, a glass of whiskey, and a mouthful of crab/spinach artichoke dip.

If this doesn’t sound familiar, you haven’t been to Double Roads Tavern yet.

Double Roads Tavern is one of the only venues in Jupiter that features live music seven days a week – except Tuesdays during certain seasons. Therefore, Double Roads is where Jupiter locals gravitate in order to hear some of the best – both budding and veteran – local musical talent perform on any given day of the week. From hard rock to improvised jazz, from reggae to open jams, Double Roads extends an open invitation to music lovers from all walks of life to suit their respective inclinations. Patrons are often treated to two, three, or even four musical acts a night while they enjoy a dinner comprised of house-made specialties – including the famous artichoke crab dip and the D.R. T. burger voted best in Palm Beach County – and, of course, drinks.

The name Double Roads actually has a nostalgic connotation about a mythic hangout spot located in a stretch of road just north of Marcinski Road, right on the beach where gatherings consisting of bonfires, guitar playing and singing, fishing, surfing, etc. took place in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s before the place was no more. Instead it was rekindled into a business by a few of those who partook in the epic gatherings, and is now immortalized by those who come to Double Roads, the establishment, to keep the good times rolling amidst a backdrop of live tunes.
