Here’s a piece of cocktail history: the Rum Runner was invented right here in 1969, at what was then the Holiday Isle Resort. Now part of the Three Waters Resort at Mile Marker 84, the Tiki Bar still carries that legacy: it’s the original home of one of the most copied tropical cocktails in the world. Sit at the marina, order the drink that started it all, and appreciate how it all began. The come-as-you-are atmosphere, live music, and waterfront setting are everything you’d want from an Islamorada tiki bar. Come for the history, stay for the Rum Runners.
