January 26, 2003 (Super Bowl Sunday) was the “official” opening of The Square Grouper Tiki Bar. It has grown into one of the most popular watering holes in the United States and was even the venue for several music videos including Alan Jackson’s hit “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” with Jimmy Buffett. The Square Grouper also hosts numerous fundraisers each year, benefiting many local non-profit and charitable organizations and has helped to raise over $750,000 to date. Live music can be heard every night, ranging from local bands, to some of the music industry’s most famous artists who sometimes pop in without notice. This little piece of paradise has a spectacular view of the Jupiter Lighthouse, brilliant clear blue tides and breathtaking golden sunsets. Like it has been for the past 130 years, it remains a local landmark and gathering place for pirates, presidents, friends and perhaps drug smugglers to eat, drink, dance and celebrate! Great place to have a drink and food on the water.
Established in 2002.
The Square Grouper Tiki Bar site dates back to the 1890’s. When the Lighthouse was being built in the 1850’s, Gus Miller built a small hotel & saloon near the roadbed of The Celestial Railroad. It overlooked the wild, scenic waterway & enjoyed the patronage of wealthy, fashionable tourists who ventured south including President Cleveland & other dignitaries. The Jupiter Inlet has seen many travelers throughout history. From the 1600’s when pirates & ships loaded with illicit treasure like the San Miguel de Archangel roamed the nearby waters, to the contraband snuck through by bank robbers, rum runners & drug smugglers; this small, sleepy fishing village has a long, colorful history. This history gave the bar its name: Square Grouper is the term used by USCG for bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes, that were often found along the waterways in South Florida.
