Café 27: Your Gateway to South Florida's Best Motorcycle Rides
A South Florida motorcycle rental should not begin with an hour of stop-and-go traffic. It should begin with open roads, great destinations, and a gathering place filled with people who share your passion for riding.
That is one of the biggest advantages of renting from DaMonkey MotoRentals’ Hollywood location near the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel. From our location, riders have convenient access to Café 27, one of South Florida’s best-known motorcycle gathering places and a natural launching point for rides throughout the state.
Pick up your Harley-Davidson, head west toward the Everglades, and leave the congested streets of Miami and Fort Lauderdale behind.
Café 27: Where South Florida Riders Gather
Located on U.S. Highway 27 near the edge of the Everglades, Café 27 is much more than a restaurant or biker bar. It is one of South Florida’s most active weekend meeting places for motorcycle riders.
On busy Saturdays and Sundays, as many as 1,000 motorcycles may gather at or pass through Café 27 throughout the day. The parking area fills with Harley-Davidsons, custom baggers, touring motorcycles, sport bikes, Slingshots, and three-wheel vehicles.
Groups ranging from approximately 10 to 80 motorcycles regularly meet there before heading toward destinations across Florida. Some riders arrive with an organized group. Others stop for breakfast, meet fellow riders, and decide where the road will take them.
For visiting riders, Café 27 provides an authentic introduction to South Florida motorcycle culture without requiring them to organize a large ride or already know the best local roads.
Start Your Ride Without Fighting South Florida Traffic
Traffic can quickly take the enjoyment out of a motorcycle rental. Interstate congestion, crowded coastal roads, and constant traffic lights are not what most riders imagine when they picture exploring Florida on a Harley-Davidson.
The ride toward Café 27 offers a different experience.
As you travel west, the development begins to disappear, the road opens up, and the Everglades become the backdrop for your adventure. Once you reach Café 27, you are positioned to ride toward multiple parts of the state without first battling the traffic typically found along Interstate 95, downtown Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or the busiest sections of the coast.
That means less time sitting at traffic lights and more time enjoying the motorcycle you came to Florida to ride.
Choose Your Florida Riding Destination
Café 27 is conveniently positioned near routes leading to some of Florida’s most enjoyable motorcycle destinations. Depending on how much time you have and the type of ride you want, you can plan a short brunch ride, a full-day adventure, or an overnight trip.
Lake Okeechobee
Ride north through Florida’s agricultural communities toward Lake Okeechobee. The open roads and wide landscapes make this a popular destination for riders who want to experience a quieter and more traditional side of Florida.
Clewiston
Known as “America’s Sweetest Town,” Clewiston sits along the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee. It is a natural stopping point for breakfast, lunch, or a relaxed ride through Florida’s sugarcane country.
Marco Island
Continue west toward Southwest Florida and Marco Island for a longer coastal adventure. The route takes riders across the state toward Gulf Coast scenery, waterfront restaurants, and some of Florida’s most beautiful sunsets.
Key Largo
Head south toward Key Largo and experience the beginning of the Florida Keys. The ride offers tropical scenery, waterfront stops, and the opportunity to continue farther into the Keys for a full-day or multi-day motorcycle adventure.
Everglades and Southwest Florida Backroads
Riders can also explore the roads surrounding the Everglades, take quieter routes toward Naples, or create a loop connecting small towns, local restaurants, scenic stops, and Florida’s interior landscapes.
Whether you are riding with 10 motorcycles, 80 motorcycles, or one close friend, Café 27 gives you multiple directions to explore.
The Perfect Weekend Brunch Ride
A ride to Café 27 can be the beginning of your trip, but it can also be the perfect place to finish it.
Start your morning with a ride toward Clewiston, Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, or another nearby destination. Stop for brunch, enjoy the open roads, and return to Café 27 in the early afternoon.
Great live bands often begin around 2 p.m., just in time for riders returning from their brunch rides.
You can park the motorcycle, grab something to eat or drink, listen to live music, and enjoy the energy of hundreds of motorcycles coming and going throughout the afternoon.
It creates an ideal South Florida riding day:
Pick up your Harley. Ride the open roads. Enjoy brunch. Return for live music.
