The 50 best dive bars in Florida Keys

Didn't see a selection of food but the popped popcorn did draw me in thinking there was some carnival food options (but there were not). Service was okay and the atmosphere, I enjoyed the open doors to people watch. The jukebox had some enjoyable oldies to play. I appreciated the throw back decor, even an old bar scene painting viewed from the stage that was similarly identical. We'll give it another try with the live reggae tonight!

Can’t beat live music and cold beer!!! Always complementary popcorn!!! Great atmosphere!!! They were celebrating the 31st tradesmen’s day, offering complementary pizza…..the band starts playing at 5:30 every afternoon and the place gets packed, but a great chill atmosphere!!! This place is Key West vibes!!!

One of the best bars in Key West for AWESOME live music! They serve great drinks and prices are not terribly bad! Always a great crowd of people

My wife and I went here most recently on July 18th and 19th, 2025 during a 4-night annual trip to Key West. Before that, we've probably been here 30 or 40 other times during previous annual visits because this ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL BACKSTREET DIVE BAR always seems to have the best live music acts anywhere on the island (even better than Sloppy Joe's and the Hog's Breath Saloon). This time was no exception. It was a small Blues Rock trio from Orlando, and the lead singer/guitarist was super talented. Since this is essentially a live music bar, we never deliberately go here to eat. It's also not really enjoyable to even attempt to eat a meal here when the live music volume goes way up and the crowd starts getting into a foot stomping or dancing mood. If you get the munchies while you are here, they do have free popcorn to tide you over, but I'd also recommend you eat a full dinner somewhere else BEFORE you arrive. As far as arrival times, I'd recommend about 8:30 pm most evening because the featured band usually starts its first set at about 9:00 pm and you might still be able to find an open table or seat at the bar. After the live music starts, this place will usually get packed (standing room only) and the crowd often spills outside onto the sidewalk along Whitehead Street. The bands usually play 2 to 3 hour-long sets each night, but I'd check the Parrot's website to find out who is playing and what time their first set is schedule to kick off, as it might be as early as 7:00 pm. Sometimes, they even have bands that will play afternoon sets, but those are pretty rare, and during those hours, the bar is often almost empty except for the local drunks (professional boozers). The drinks here are also very reasonably priced and run about half of what you'd pay along Duval Street just a block away.

Really happy that our group stopped in this historic establishment. Loved how the bartenders treated each customer. They were QUICK to greet us. Made us feel like we really truly WELCOME. Made Excellent Cocktails. I left a SPECIAL Container of Cuban Coffee. I returned an Hour later. They had put it away for me to keep it safe. Excellent in EVERY WAY.

Incredible bar....unreal vibes. Mind-blowing live music with Ajeva last night! Can't wait to come back.

Just a quick stop on our Hemingway walking tour. Reasonably priced drinks, friendly staff, great atmosphere and free popcorn.

The initial walk in, looks like an old run-down bar. Not very welcoming or friendly, cash only. After a tip was given for the drinks we ordered, the attitude completely changed to friendly. The outdoor area is beautiful. I didn't try any food.

Awesome place and great people working and hanging out there! Nice locals place where you are welcomed and feel at home! This is also one of the locations where 'Key Largo', starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall was filmed! They had one of the best sunsets I've seen in a long time! Great drinks and atmosphere!

They have a food truck out front but it is a different business and the food was great too! Can't beat the chill vibe and gorgeous sunset views of this place we were there are three different nights for live music or just hanging out in the evening.

We had the best time at the Caribbean Club! Drinks were good and reasonable, and you can’t beat their amazing view. We will be back again!

Great place to chill out watching the sunset, have a few drinks and dance to live music. Preferred by locals. NOTE: CASH ONLY!

As a Bogart and Bacall fan, I had to stop by the Caribbean Club for a brew. Exterior shots of the bar were used in the 1948 classic film, Key Largo. There is outdoor seating for wonderful ocean views, and a food truck offering burgers, fish sandwiches, and tacos. Atmosphere is the word for this watering hole bar dating back to the 30’s. Highly recommended!

Stopped in at the cabana club in Key Largo. Enjoy the beer and conversation with the locals very cool place on the water big nighttime bar. Lots of history with the movie Key Largo starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

Went to the legendary No Name Pub in Big Pine Key—the place that’s so hidden, I thought I was being lured into a pirate-themed prank. But no, it’s real. It’s famous. And I was hungry. Let’s talk food: it was… fine. Not bad, not great, just kind of there—like a supporting actor in a movie where the lead role is played by the Key lime pie, which absolutely stole the show. Tart, creamy, and sweet enough to make you forgive your meal for being forgettable. Now the atmosphere? 10/10. It’s got that authentic “Florida Keys meets roadside treasure map” energy. Walls covered in dollar bills, locals who may or may not be in witness protection, and the kind of rustic charm that makes you want to drink a beer at noon and buy a boat. Would I go back? Probably. For the pie and the vibes. Just don’t come expecting a Michelin star—come for a Florida Keys experience in its purest, quirkiest form.

This was our second time at No Name Pub. My husband heard about it years ago and we came here about 8 years ago and then in 2025. The people are super friendly, the food (I had the smoked fish dip and it was AMAZING). It’s a very interesting place with great food and drinks and very nice people.

One of the most amazing bars I've ever seen, much less been to several times! This place is covered in dollar bills. From wall to ceiling from door-to-door. The service is wonderful. They didn't estimate a while back by square footage. That estimate came out to be $750,000 to $800,000! This place is so cool 😎.

Old Florida. Awesome place. The atmosphere is nice as are the staff. We did not dine here. I heard the place has the best pizza in the Keys. They have some tall bar stools. You even might see some Key deer on your journey to the No Name.

Pizza crust was amazing. Rest of the pizza was a pretty normal pizza. We had the Hawaiian and the meats. It was super cool seeing all of the dollar bills and reading some of the different ones. Very strong pub vibes inside and they mostly played country music. Service was good.

We decided to drive down to Big Pine Key from Islamorada (about an hour drive) and see the key deer and have a late lunch at the No Name Pub. Points of interest: * We saw a dozen or so key deer as we were driving through the neighborhood of Big Pine on our way to No Name. They were not afraid of us and we got some cute pics from the car. * No Name only serves beer and wine. That was fine for us. * The inside looked and smelled clean. No strong bleach or stale beer smell. We were not sure what to expect from a pub. * The inside area is rather small but they do have an outside area as well. * Two surprises. The first was our waitress, Katie. She was fun, energetic, and lots of personality. She turned a good experience into a great experience. We brought dollar bills to sign and staple to the walls. She brought out a box of colorful highlighters to customize them. She also gave us some good recommendations on food. * The second surprise was the food. Based on Katie’s recommendations we order the fish dip and chicken wings (bourbon glaze). Both might have been the best we’ve ever had. Really good. Other items (like their pizza) looked real good as well. The table next to us had some positive comments on it. As most people know before you go there that there are thousands of dollar bills stapled to the walls, ceilings, columns, and beams. It is amazing seeing so many. We had a very positive experience and would recommend this place to friends and family..

Kelly was are bartender and truly amazing! Her personality and recommendations were perfect! She treated us like family! Even took us out the patio to show us a deer! This will be an annual stop! Get the smoked fish dip! Delicious! Next time we will get the pizza!

Great dock-side pub recommended by a friend. We visited on a Sunday during Football season. They had two games showing on the patio, which was a great atmosphere. We ordered some nachos and drinks, and enjoyed the remainder of the football game. Our server was great, food was delicious, and they offer military discounts, which was very much appreciated. A very fun, playful atmosphere with great food!

Hog Heaven is a touristy spot during the day and a hot spot for partiers at night. It sits on the water and has a pier with a few boats docked. Maybe they are customers. We showed up in the afternoon for a late lunch. I liked the decor, which resembles a clean and cool-looking biker bar but it actually is a restaurant that specializes in pork dishes for the general public, rather than motorcycles and bikers. Hence the double meanings of "hog" in their name. We ordered the Pig Candy for our appetizer. It was good but could've been a bit crispier, I think. For my main meal, I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich with fries. I was a little disappointed in the lack of BBQ flavor in the pork and it could've been juicer. I could taste the smokiness but not the BBQ sauce in it. They did include 3 different sauces with the dish but I only liked one of them. The other 2 were a mustard sauce and a very spicy red one. I love my BBQ dishes and know what I want. My daughter got the Shrimp Poor Boy sandwich and said that her sandwich could've used more flavor also. But they were OK, and we would return here again and try different dishes. My daughter also had a Hog A Rita, a Margarita, which was made well. Our server was Zach, who was friendly and helpful answering questions. He was very busy but still checked in on us frequently. We walked around the restaurant for a bit and took a few pics as there are many photo ops here and interesting collectibles to look at.

I don’t remember what the gentleman’s name was that waited on us, but he was excellent. There’s so many great menu choices, but he never rushed us. I had a (couple) coconut sunrise drinks which, were delicious! The Mahi Hog Tacos were very good. They don’t skimp on the mahi portion, and the combo of citrus slaw and black bean salsa made for a tasty, bright mouthful! The fried okra was perfect- light and crispy. Their house sauce complimented everything nicely. So good we brought some home for our leftovers! My husband and I split a piece of Key Lime Pie (as stuffed as we were), and I’m SO glad we did! It was one of the best I’ve had! Served super cold (which was great) not overly tangy, and super creamy. If you’re traveling the Keys, this is a definite “must try” restaurant. We’ll be back, for sure!

Must stop every time we’re headed home from the keys!! The pig wings are amazing definitely need an order for each person you won’t want to share. This time we brought in a few lobsters that we had just caught and came a with a couple sides recommended the Mac n cheese and slaw. Also fun for the kids to feed the local parrot fish barracuda and mangrove snapper. The service is always great and never have to wait for your food. Definitely recommend stopping in day or night.

We went mid afternoon and it was slow. We ate out back where we could see the water. The food was okay, the brisket and fish were dry. But everything else was good. We walked around the dock to check things out. It was a Wednesday in October so not much was going on.

Atmosphere and vibe is lively. Excellent music by the water. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner and cocktails by the water. I had the mahi mahi sandwich with fries. My husband had the turkey and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were wonderful.

Hog Heaven was a truly memorable experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional – we loved the Pig Candy and the Key West Corn, I had the Brisket Burger….it was very tender!! The bar had well crafted drinks!!We watched a football game, after the game the tables were moved and the DJ started playing great music…..out back there’s an outside bar, with live music!! Thi place has an awesome atmosphere, highly recommended…..can’t wait to go back !!

Came in for the live music and we absolutely enjoyed the music! We did not order any food and had a few drinks. Our bartender was extremely attentive and friendly. The vibe was chill and we highly recommend this spot. You won't be disappointed!

This is Key West at its best. Historic building combined with drinking. Dark and historic. The bartender was really nice. People try to flip a quarter facing backwards into the big fish’s mouth that is over the door outside. We were here on 10/17/25.

Old Key West at its finest. Quirky and quaint, being one of the oldest bars in Key West with dollar bills on every surface. Standing out front, trying to get quarters in the mouth of the fish, on the sign! my friend did it!!!! 😁

My visit to Capt Tony's was everything I'd hoped for and more. Hearing the history of the establishment from the staff was absolutely amazing to learn. Highly recommend while in the Keys Capt Tony's is a must see.

Loved Captain Tony's. Highlight of my trip. If you love dark dive bars with good music, this is your place. Great service, good drinks, good atmosphere.

A family favorite! Not for children, obviously because it's a bar! But my family has visited this establishment since the 80s. A great bar with a unique history!

🍹 Captain Tony’s Saloon: A Hemingway Fan’s Hidden Gem If you're tracing the footsteps of Hemingway in Key West, it’s easy to be drawn to the current Sloppy Joe's bar on Duval Street—but the real magic lies just a short stroll away at Captain Tony’s Saloon, the original location of Sloppy Joe’s where Hemingway himself used to drink. Walking through the doors feels like slipping back into a grittier, wilder version of old Key West. The walls are drenched in history (and business cards), the ceiling’s decorated with bras and dollar bills, and live music floats through the dimly lit saloon like a siren song from a bygone era. It’s chaotic, quirky, and full of stories. The drinks are great, the locals are colorful, and if you’re lucky, you'll catch a storyteller spinning tales that blur the line between myth and memory. Whether you're sipping a rum punch or a cold beer, you're not just having a drink—you're having an experience. So yes, stop by Sloppy Joe’s, but don’t leave Key West without raising a glass at Captain Tony’s. It’s not just a bar—it’s a slice of literary and tropical legend.

This is always a stop on our visit to Key West!! We love it here. We met a spectacular bar tender Matty this time. We picked the first drinks; rum punch and blackberry tequila and then went with his suggestion of the Matty Mojitos. They were delicious!!! Also shared a quick key lime cream shot with the folks at the small front bar. Great stop!!! Thanks Sloppy Joe’s!!!

If you're looking for a classic Key West bar, it's hard to beat this one. We were in the Keys during the slow season (end of September) and this place was one of the few that was busy for lunch. Yes, there was a cruise ship in Port, but it makes sense people flocked here. A big stage with live music going, multiple bars to get drinks at, and fast and friendly table service. The tables are packed in tight, but the wait staff was fast with drinks, food, and water. We tried the sloppy joe nachos which were huge and tasty. Added to our bar cup collection as well! Overall, glad we made this an extended lunch stop.

I have been here previously, but my husband has not. By far the best sloppy Joe’s you will ever have hands down. My husband is a vegetarian and was very impressed with his meal. We had unplanned live music playing, and he was phenomenal. Our waitress was very fast and the service was some of the best we have had. I had a beer and my husband had a A specialty drink. The drink was just average, but the atmosphere and food fire made up for this.

Great bar, with a fun and open atmosphere! We loved that they had cameras so we could wave to our loved one's back home. There was live music and the staff were super friendly. I definitely recommend for a cold beer and some reprieve from the Key West sun!

Sloppy Joe’s Bar in Key West is an iconic spot with a lively atmosphere, great drinks, and plenty of history tied to Ernest Hemingway. The bar is always buzzing with live music, friendly staff, and a fun crowd, making it a must-visit for anyone in the area. The drinks are well-made, the food is solid, and the energy of the place really captures the Key West vibe. It’s touristy, but in the best way—full of life, tradition, and that carefree island spirit.

Recently visited while stopping over in Key West. This place is a vibe for sure! Julie was at the bar and it was also her birthday! She is a National Treasure! Easy to talk to and very friendly! I am happy to have met her on my visit! Beers are cold, drinks are strong and good. Loved the live music! Try the fish bites and Cuban sandwich! Will definitely return!

My #1 stop in Key West!! My friends and I love this place! I’ll be dreaming about that sloppy Joe sandwich for years to come! When I tell you, their service is nothing but friendly, accommodating, and so helpful - I mean it!! Our server was so lovely and the food was delicious and came out quickly! The live music was the cherry on top! I got the sweet tea and sloppy Joe sandwich after a long day of snorkeling and it HIT THE SPOT 🔥🔥 I could have eaten like 5 of these!! I can’t wait to come back and bring more friends and family!

The food was mediocre I thought. The lobster nor the steak had much flavor. My wife said her fish tacos were really good. The staff was friendly. It was outside dining and the flies were bad. The view was amazing. We all thought it would be a great place to go back and have drinks with friends. Not a dinner destination that we would return to.

Did dinner here on vacation. Our 2nd time dining here and highly recommend. They had a lobster special where it was fried and accompanied by a mango salsa. Yum. Macaroni and cheese was a bit plain but delicious (you can add pulled pork, lobster, shrimp or bacon and jalapeño for an upcharge.

We checked out this place recently and we enjoyed it. Our waitress was Amy and she was very nice and efficient. I got the burger/fries ($20.45) and my wife got the fish tacos ($18.95). My burger was wonderful and so were the fries. My wife said that fish tacos lacked flavor. The view was nice and parking was easy.

View at sunset is magical 😍 Now about the food! Disappointing lobster. Waitress had difficulties with separating the bill. Also waitress added 20% tip for party of 8. That was fine but she was disappointed that we didn't tip more. She actually came out and asked what she did wrong. Not good. So watch your bill for sure.

Great little place tucked away, right on the water in Islemorada. Not quite in the hidden gem genre, but most certainly an off the beaten path stop if you're on your way to Key West. Right on the water, all tables offer a great view. Service is friendly and courteous. Food and drinks are all excellent. Definitely a recommended stop.

Food was fantastic! My husband had the blackened snapper and I had the coconut shrimp. The service was great and the view was even better! Definitely a dining highlight to our trip

The perfect “Keys” vibe. Beautiful waterfront setting for sunset views. Bar feels like something from a Jimmy Buffet song. Bartender was amazing: friendly, moving a hundred miles an hour and fun to watch. And it wasn’t even busy. Conch fritters were perfectly done and our fish was also fresh and nicely prepared. This isn’t fine dining, but delicious and such a fun setting. My girlfriend (in her 50’s) grew up coming here and it was so great to see nothing has really changed since she was a kid. Places like this are what make the Keys so special and unique. May they be here another 50 years!

Excellent! Exactly what you would expect at a local keys eatery… We stopped for lunch. The atmosphere was crowded and bustling but not unpleasant, the fish was fresh, service was attentive, the fish dip, mussels and snapper were the winners of this lunch but everyone raved about their choices. They also have a fish counter so you can order fish dip or other delights on your way out to take home. We will be back.

We had an OK experience at The Fish House… lots of glitz and glitter, but we food the food mostly lacking… with a couple of exceptions! We had cocktails (coconut martini and Cadillac margaritas), both good. Appetizers included the crab cake and smoked fish appetizer… crab cake, average, fresh, but we prefer the NE lump crab style. Smoked fish, while unique, we found it underwhelming. Entrees included the fried seafood combo and the matecumbe yellowfin. Most of the fried seafood was old, overcooked. Exception the fried scallops, they were outstanding! Similarly, the yellowfin matecumbe was fantastic. Those two seafoods were exceptional. Desserts included coconut ice cream, frozen ice cube of coconut, and coconut key lime pie. Not sure what was on top of the pie, but the putty, spongy pink topped coconut was weird. A couple of hits, mostly misses. Cannot recommend you visit.

We came from PA and from the moment you walked in until you left staff and food were GREAT! Thank you for making a birthday memorable! We will always stop here and make sure to always get the best key lime pie one can offer!

4 stars instead of 5 because it cost me $37/4 strips of fried fish. Yes...it was delicious and the beans & rive had good flavor Definitely fresh caught snapper was used. The price goes up $9 if you select mangrove snapper over mahi mahi. Loved the decor on the walls. Service was good...it was 11:30 am on a Friday.

We really had one of the best seafood experiences ever at The Fish House. Our son really loved the dish of shrimp and scallop over rice. It’s plate licking good for him. :) The snapper filet was so fresh and delicious, cooked to perfection with tomatoes topping and butter sauce. The grilled whole lobster was juicy and tender we would always remember how good it tasted. All dishes were recommended by the waiter instead of picking them out from a busy menu. Highly recommend!

I’m usually not one to leave reviews but this place deserves the time for one. This was my second time to the Florida keys for a fishing trip and we decided to try this place out by the awesome reviews they have. We first came here to eat on Friday night we got a ton of apps that all came out fast and hot and were all incredible. I got the mahi sandwich platter that was amazing and the rest of the table got the seared tuna meal which was a very large portion perfectly cooked and delicious. We were so impressed by the meal and the top notch service we decided to have it again Saturday night before we left town Sunday. We all got different meals which were of course all amazing as well. I ordered the shrimp scampi linguini after seeing it on a table next to me and let me tell you that was the best pasta meal I have ever had in my life. The sauce tasted homemade and the flavor was perfect and of course a large portion. The service side of things was also incredible. From the second we sat down both times drink orders were taken and on the table within minutes. The timely manner of every server encounter was timed perfectly and also attention to detail was spot on with orders and refills. I will forever eat at this place any time I’m in town.

Absolutely delicious meal! Top 3 seafood experiences I've ever had eating seafood coast to coast. The fish was fresh, amazingly seasoned (blackened) swordfish and shrimp. The Scallops were hands down the best I've ever eaten, so tender and buttery it's worth a visit back from where ever you live! Tried the crab cake and crab stuffed mushrooms, both fantastic! Got the recommendation from the tour guide on our airboat tour and can't thank them enough! Service was on point too! If you're in the FL Keys, make a stop by for the best and fresheat Seafood around!

The view is is great. There is a great view of the water and 7 mile bridge. The Sun sets on the other side of the bridge, but you can see it from the balcony or poolside. The food here is decent. Many seafood options including sushi. The specialty drinks are very expensive so pay attention to what you are ordering even if you don't get the special cups that go with it. The poolside seating was not shaded when we were there. The pool can vary from all adults to all children. If you don't have kids in the pool I would not sit directly next to the pool.

For an unforgettable dining experience, there’s no better place to relish a stunning sunset than at this gem located right next to the iconic Seven Mile Bridge. Picture yourself savoring a freshly caught fish, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, while lounging by the sparkling pool. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and pink, you'll be reminded of the natural beauty that defines Key West. If you’re in search of both breathtaking views and delicious, authentic local cuisine, do yourself a favor and make this spot your destination for an evening to remember.

This bar was a neat place to stop for lunch. My husband said the Cuban sandwich was good and his Landshark was nice and cold. I had a Chicken Philly and it was good although I am not a fan of batter coated fries. The Tiki Hut was very cool with drink signage attached to the hut which I had never seen done before. They even have a swimming pool located at the back of the restaurant so you can sip your favorite cocktail and stay cool sitting by the pool. Prices were pretty typical of the island and our waitress was very attentive but not overly intrusive. I think it would be a fun place for a drink at sunset but I imagine it gets pretty busy as the sun sets each day

There was about a 40-minute wait, but we noticed open seats at the bar and sat there right away. We arrived around 7:30 PM. We looked through the menu and ordered directly from the bartender. We also asked for some water. All the food came out at once. The ribs were absolutely delicious, and the mac and cheese was amazing too — the portions were very generous! The tuna nachos were also pretty good. Unfortunately, the sushi wasn’t our favorite. We tried the Key West Roll and the Rainbow Roll. The rice was quite bland, and the fish on the Rainbow Roll was sliced so thin it was almost transparent. The Key West Roll had a very mayonnaise-heavy sauce, which just wasn’t to our taste, so we ended up pushing it aside. Overall though, it was a very positive experience — beautiful sunset, good vibes, great food (just wouldn’t recommend the sushi). 😊

My wife and I stopped here for lunch, right after they opened on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. We had stopped here for a walk-through tour of this about 18 months previously, but we did not have time to eat that day because were driving down to Key West. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly hostess, and there was Jimmy Buffett music playing on the speakers, so it gave us a good first impression vibe. We were the first guests seated and got a nice table along the southeasterly facing balcony with a great view of the Knight's Key Channel and the Seven Mile Bridge. The food we ordered was pretty good (but not gourmet) and our server (Nelson) was very friendly and professional. It looked like this place gets very crowded on the weekends with locals, or during the season, so if you do decide to dine here for lunch, I would recommend arriving as soon as they open to ensure you get a parking space and a good table with a view. They also have a nice bar on the back right side of the building and activities deck just below the restaurant.

Went in September and it was not crowded at all. Beautiful day and around 91 degf. Our server was attentive and polite. I had the Highish sandwich with fries while my wife had the chips and queso with ground beef. She said it was really good, better than she's had before. The hog fish sandwich seemed fresh rich in flavors with aeoli, mushrooms, picked ginger. Very good. Their most popular. Great views. Worth the stop.

Breathtaking Sunset Views:** The restaurant's biggest highlight truly lives up to its name! The viewing terrace offers **unparalleled sunset vistas**. Watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant shades of orange, red, pink, and purple，transforms the entire dining experience into a visual feast.instantly amplifying the atmosphere. Whether for a romantic date or gathering with friends, this scenery elevates the experience immensely.Every dish was delicious, creating a true visual and culinary delight

The food was fresh and delicious. Gator meat was very tender and cooked to perfection. The fries were liked by all the kids. All the seafood dishes were superb. Service was fast and even though we ordered a lot of food (we were a big group), the food came out quickly and was fresh.

Hobo’s, I’m a believer! How can one obscure little cafe in Islamorada get EVERYTHING right?! We hit the jackpot when our family decided to stop in for dinner. WOW! First, the food reminded me of my hometown, New Orleans. We experienced fresh seafood of every variety prepared in rich sauces, seasoned to perfection! Then there’s the wings! How can they have the BEST wings we’ve ever had? So much so we ordered another for our journey home! The service was impeccable! The food arrived timely and our table was visited several times during the meal to check on us! We visit the Keys regularly and Hobo’s will now and forever be our first and last stop! Thank you for getting it RIGHT! You are a rare breed!

I have been to Hobo’s twice now. Once for dinner and now for lunch. We arrived on a Friday at about 1:30 PM for lunch. It was packed. Apparently everyone knows how great their hog fish is. We ordered a grouper reuben and a hog fish special sandwich . Both were amazing and fresh. I got my sandwich with a side of dirty rice and I can’t say that it was fresh. We also got the waffle fries, which were delicious. Overall, we very much enjoyed the food and will return.

This place is 10/10, amazing food and im really fussy. I just wish i could eat here weekly as im from the uk and its my 3rd visit, my son says the best nachos he's every had. I want to try the whole menu, excellent place

This place is a hidden gem. The service was fantastic. The inside area is nice, but. Star noisy. Not too bad though. The outside seating was very quiet and had a nice ambiance. The food…absolutely fantastic and considerable cheaper than some of the places hir with comparable, or even LESS delicious food that charge you just because you are in the keys or because you can see the ocean from your chair. There is no compromise for this place. Great food. Great service. Great prices. We will definitely be coming back here often. If you get the catch of the day, try key lime style, it’s to die for.

The service was fantastic. The portions were fantastic. The menu was extensive (so many options). Homemade. And the service was phenomenal. Sat at the bar and they were very attentive and informative of what to get. Buy their Key Lime Pie in a mason jar. Not traditional but incredible in its own right.

3rd time’s the charm! We’ve been to Hobo’s 3 times on our drive down to Key West and we look forward to it more and more each trip❤️ This time the Onion Ring Loaf stole the show! Menu says it feeds 2 people, but we think 4 people could easily share this crispy delight and be satisfied! We get the Fish Quesadilla each time and Hobo’s has consistently delivered a high quality ‘dilla! So meaty… So cheesey🤤 Waffle Fries with the Fish Sandwich are amazing - but the real star is that Key Lime Butter Sauce slathered on that I just want to bathe in🤤 You did it again, Hobo’s!!! We’ll be back for a 4th visit soon enough ❤️

What a beautiful, relaxing, "Keysey" restaurant and tiki bar! A must visit! I was here to be DJ&MC for a destination wedding in Islamorada at the southern end of the property, which is a beautiful location for weddings & events, and I arrived early as I always do. I had lunch here. What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere, layout of the restaurant, views, vibe, etc. It was a Saturday, and there was also an enjoyable solo guitarist, Billy D, playing relaxing, soft rock throwbacks during lunch on a Saturday. The food was good, but service could've been much better and more attentive. Sometimes laid-back restaurants like this have similar issues. Still, I'd highly recommend you visit, and I'll definitely be back. It's a great not to be missed experience overall!

We stopped for lunch at Mark 88 in Islamorada, and everything exceeded expectations. The setting was stunning — right on the water with unbeatable views. The food was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented, truly top class. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. To top it off, there was live music that added the perfect laid-back vibe to our meal. Highly recommend for anyone passing through the Keys — this spot is a gem!

Our very favorite restaurant in The Keys...we always stop here at least once per visit. It is impossible to beat the atmosphere here...it's a true tropical paradise. The food is outstanding--perfectly seasoned and prepared, large portions and reasonably priced. The wait staff are consistently very attentive and extremely friendly. Fabulous cocktails, dog friendly, beautiful views.

We enjoyed a perfect sunset at this restaurant. Our dinner was wonderful. We started with the crab cake. Our table had the pasta florentine, which was delicious with rich flavor, The snapper curry which was full of flavor and texture as well as the catch of the day the hogfish which was coconut encrusted. Dinner and service and ambiance were wonderful. Gift shop and experience with the manager was terrible, which ended up completely ruining our experience here. first we had to track someone down to even check us out. We picked out a simple 100% cotton t shirt and was charged $69 when the sign clearly stated $35. We were able to get a refund but the management was not apologetic about the price or could even tell us what the actual price of the t shirt was. In my experience in the retail and restaurant industry, standard practice would be to offer your guest the shirt for the price listed on the sign. Another great practice would be to clearly mark or tell the total before charging a customer. I was absolutely shocked and stunned at the price. Apparently it is a new item and the manager isn’t even clear on what the price should be. I won’t be coming back due to this and the attitude of the manager and hostess. The hostess whom I noticed earlier when I went to the restroom was sitting on the stool by the front watching videos with sound on. Please do not sell items in your gift shop if you can’t tell your customer the price. To put in perspective the sign also stated a long sleeve hooded tshirt was $65 so having a short sleeve tshirt this price makes zero logical sense!

Best meal of our whole US-trip! At first my daughter was a bit sceptical due to the relatively low 4.2 star average but I insisted on the sea views and boy, did they deliver above and beyond! The food was absolutely delicious, rich in flavors, taste composure on point, the vegetarian sushi rolls brought a super interesting mushroom variation and the peal&eat shrimp was perfect 👌 all together really, REALLY excellent! Sitting right on the beach was perfect, live music played when we arrived and our waiter Rolando was present at the perfect time, thank you to the whole Marker 88 team, this is what hospitality should be like! When next in Florida, I will go to the Keys just to return here!

MARKER 88 IS AN AWSOME PLACE TO DINE OUT,I ordered a Hog Snapper sandwhich, that I would give 5 stars for, the Sandwhich was cook nice and crispy on a fresh bun excellent taste. MY date had a great chopped salsa, and the we had the best coconut shrimp.Along with a awsome peace of Key lime pie, and cappuccino coffee. MARKE 88 ,is located on the west side road setting in a nice cozy restaurant on the beach kinda hidden, a real nice relaxing atmosphere, and and great service staff. You will not be disappointed if you decide to stop by Marke 88.

We came in for dinner and to watch the sunset and had the best time. Such a beautiful and serene atmosphere with the most amazing views. The hostesses were welcoming and we had no wait. Our waitress was Leslie and she was awesome. She was very attentive and kind, we really enjoyed having her! The food was excellent. For starters we ordered the coconut shrimp and the crab cake. The flavors and portions were perfect for us. The crab cake only comes with one but it was plenty and absolutely perfect as well. For our entree we had the blackened mahi with lemon piccata sauce, rice, and vegetables and it was phenomenal. The flavors and the cook were outstanding. I also highly recommend the coconut pineapple margarita. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Half shell was our first stop in Key west and we had a great time there! The mussels were delicious and the garlic bread, omg. So good! Fish and chips was good. Beer was cold and service was okay. They have non alcoholic drinks! The place has an incredible vibe. You can see it’s a place with great memories and make people happy. Love the decoration! Plus, you can have a beautiful view from the pier. Go for happy our. Prices are great! 😉 Definitely recommend!

Love coming here. I had lobster egg rolls and my husband had batter fish with fries and coleslaw. It’s our third time coming here for lunch…Food is excellent here!!!!Not so crowded at lunch time. We sat next to the marina. I got to see all kinds of tropical fish next to me. This was the highlight of my afternoon!!!! Omg!!!! Even the chicken was closed by…🐓 Go see it for yourself….🐠🐟🍤🦞🍺🍷

Love love this spot. Come for happy hour and sit by the bay. Must get: Gulf oysters. So fresh. Get at least a dozen Clam in a bucket. So fresh and tasty with white wine sauce SOLID: Conch fritters. Worth trying given that it's a big deal in keywest but it's decent. SKIP: Steamed mussels: we sent it back given that it was rubbery. Viognier by the glass was excellent.

We went to the happy hour a little bit early as this is very busy as a locals favorite. This was like a one day celebration of my birthday. Dave our bartender was great as he let us put in our orders for drinks a few minutes early I had dark and stormy rum drink with ginger beer and my husband tried a couple of draft beers. They have a full menu besides the happy hour menu. We have gone here many times. Love it! Fast friendly service. I love the beer steamed pink shrimp and husband loves their oysters. Because there are several restaurant in this location be patient you can get parking be calm and carry on.

I think this is the best happy hour we found in Key West, maybe the best happy hour I’ve ever had. Everything was so good, the blackened snapper was the star for me. Had a nice seat on the water, lovely

10000/10 highly recommend and would come again! This place is absolutely wonderful! Quality food, service, and premium atmosphere! We had a large party of about 25 people with 14lbs of fresh fish to cook. We also had an hour delay due to personal issues… Not only did they have the best spot to sit a large party in a private section of the restaurant, but they were so kind to accommodate our late arrival with zero fuss. They had the best service and were in top of all the orders for such a large group. The waiter Danny was so even keeled through the chaos and had the best customer service I’ve experienced in years. The BYOC (bring your own catch) was reasonably priced and they will fry, blacken, and grill it up for you. It was absolutely delicious!! Also, they have some of the best oysters in town. Definitely get the garlic baked ones!! Can’t wait to come back!

What a great place! So glad we found this gem! Sat at the bar during happy hour was the best! Lobster egg rolls was my favorite although ceviche, conch chowder and buffalo shrimp was great too!

Great food, great people awesome music and great atmosphere. We had conch chowder, 12 oysters, key lime pie and virgin rum runners. The best part is they welcomed our Weim Nala with a bowl of ice water and a treat on a very warm day. Thank you everyone! We will definitely be back.

We had a great time at Schooner Wharf Bar in Key West! We ordered a dozen oysters for $26 — they were huge, fresh, meaty, and absolutely delicious. We also tried two soups: the clam chowder and the conch chowder. The conch version had a spicy kick and a rich tomato base — definitely something unique. Although they were out of draft beer during our visit, the lively atmosphere more than made up for it. There was live music with guitars playing, which added a really nice touch. We came on a Sunday, and the place was packed — it’s clearly a popular spot. Service was a bit rushed and not very chatty, especially when we asked questions about the menu, but we understand it was a very busy night. Overall, the vibe was fun and the sea breeze made it even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend — great value for the quality!

The food wasn't great. I ordered the Jerk Chicken. It was pretty dry and nothing special. But my virgin Piña Colada was delicious. Nice and thick. The real highlight was the live music and atmosphere. After a long day in the sun, it felt so good to relax and vibe out. Ross Brown was performing when we were there, and he sounded amazing! I'd definitely come back just for drinks or a small bite, enjoy the music, and hang out with the mix of tourists and locals. For that alone, I'm giving this place 5 stars!​

Both myself and my partner had dinner at Schooner Wharf bar whilst our visit to Key West. I had a burger my partner had mozzarella sticks which was really good. Service was good staff were super friendly. There was plenty to choose from their menu, they had live music which was good too. Location was good right on the marina close to gift shops etc. So if you visiting Key West and feel a hungry i highly recommend Schooner Wharf Bar. Thankyou from Steve and Jacqui from Fife April 2024.

This is a staple stop for a Key West visit. The musicians and food are always great! I’ve sat at tables and the bar, both have descent service! It’s a busy place - not a fast food restaurant. Come for the atmosphere and a fresh meal!

Schooner Wharf Bar was recommended to us by a local as an institution. Sure enough, real Key West vibes. Grab a drink, listen to the live band, and all the food we ordered was delicious.

A must if you’re in Key West and looking for a relaxed atmosphere with great food & live music. Located on the historic waterfront of downtown, this place boasts a large drink menu and plenty of yummy food options. They have a fun shop attached full of Schooner Wharf gear. We grabbed a table for a late lunch. The tables are first come first serve. If there’s one open, grab it! The service was quick. We ordered their burger with cheese and the blackened mahi sandwich. Both with a side of fries. The food was excellent & plentiful. Highly recommended for lunch/dinner or just drinks. Either way you won’t be disappointed.

The restaurant has a beautiful location right on the water, with a great attraction next door. It brings great crowds at peak times. Unfortunately the food is really not good. Their fried fish tastes like it was taken out of a grocery store breaded fish sticks section, the tacos had nothing to them but some cabbage, tomatoes and piece of fish that had nothing flavor to it. We are both fish lovers and neither of us could push ourselves to finish the meal. Even the fries were not good. Mind you, the ice tea was lacking flavor too. I tried adding sugar and lemon and nothing saved it. What this needs is a new chef and quickly. On top of that, you will see your waiter when you order and when you hunt them down to pay. Our drinks were not delivered and I finally got them after 15 min, after getting up and asking 3 waiters to get them. Not worth the time. There are many better organized and better meal quality options nearby.

Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed every bite of my sandwich. The views, the food and the service were fantastic. This place looks like a fun place in the evening. Wish we had time to stay around for dinner.

Absolutely beautiful spot by the water and ships. If you choose to sit by the deck you can watch people feed the tarpon and usually there's some pelicans and other birds nearby. Hate to do this, but I will say the food is on the pricier side and sadly I found to be quite lackluster with exception of the lobster bisque. The drinks are much smaller than establishments with similar price points. I think we went to maybe 25 restaurants in the time we were in this area and this one has the longest wait and slowest service of all of them. We waited 20 minutes to get our drinks. Certainly they were short-staffed however not busy either.

Very cool vibe! Beautiful view. Got to feed the tarpons!! Had the shrimp and coconut shrimp and it was mediocre. Bit overpriced but island prices I guess. But I might recommend the happy hour boiled shrimp. Great value and tasty.

We tried that trailer trash bloody mary, made by the sweetest lady, super quick, you know? The mix was a bit weak, but the stuff on top was awesome, a good snack. Prices are kinda high, though. But the view and the vibe are what make this place worth it.

Breakfast at Robbie’s in Islamorada was a perfect Keys experience — waterfront views, hearty food, and warm service. I had eggs, home fries, sausage, and toast cooked exactly right, while my companion’s blueberry pancakes were fluffy and delicious — easily “the best in the Keys.” Fresh fruit on the side added a tropical touch. Our server, Jana, was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed with coffee refills and extras. Between the food, the setting, and her service, breakfast at Robbie’s is an easy 10/10.

I went to have lunch today with my mom, husband and son for my mom’s birthday and we had a great time! We got sat pretty quickly and Natalie was very sweet and attentive to us the entire time! She had great recommendations, The coconut shrimp was amazing and my husband enjoyed the chicken sandwich. My mother had a great time and it was a great atmosphere. The manager in the front was also very polite to us and the family :) The service was genuine and it was a great birthday lunch <3 :) thank you!

If you are looking for a dive type bar this is your place. But don't let the exterior fool you, the food is phenomenal. Served on Styrofoam and using plastic utensils this truly lets you know that this is a simple place to relax and kick back. Located right on the water with a view of boats, fish, birds, and mangroves. The license plates scattered throughout the joint really make it a cool spot. It took 5 trips to the Keys to find this place. So happy we veered off Hwy 1 to Card Sound Rd. A little scenic detour to get to Key Largo. I highly recommend it.

Stopped here due to recommendations from a local that worked at another restaurant. He said they have the best conch fritters around! They won the contest for the entire keys!!! He didn’t tell a story either! They were great. We also had the fish tacos and shrimp & crab spring rolls. We had everything to go to make sure we didn’t miss our flight! Love the scenery! Waitress was outstanding also!

This is a hidden gem! The service was great. My family and I were seated immediately and told we could choose anywhere. We sat by the water, which was very entertaining. The food was also a 10/10. My son got the combo meal with conch, Mac n cheese, fish sticks, and crap cakes. It did not disappoint. my husband and I both got blackened Mahi Mahi tacos - his on tortilla shells and mine as lettuce wrap. This is a great option if you are Gluten Free. And, they have plenty of other gluten options available. I also loved the decor there. You really need to see it for yourself! The prices were extremely affordable, the locals were wonderful, and the food was top notch. I highly, highly recommend stopping here!

A must stop on the way in or out of the keys! Great atmosphere and friendly, fun staff. Cold beers, strong drinks and solid food. All with a view and music. Ask for grandma, best server in the keys!

Love to stop at Alabama Jacks on our way to Key West. Great service, food and Florida history. Try the conch fritters and chowder! They are amazing!

The food was ok. I don’t know if it is always subpar or if it was just because we got there just before the kitchen closed (by accident, we didn’t know until we walked in as we didn’t google the hours or anything) I do plan on visiting again to give it a fair shot. The atmosphere though for being there when we were was laid back.

What a lousy experience. I am a former server, and a hospitality expert. Our server/waitress was mad because we bought our first round at the bar. Conch Fritters aren't what they used to be- though one can work to pick out the microscopic few pieces of conch amongst the mound of fish-flavored fried bread.... but it isn't worth it. The Crab Cakes have a slightly higher amount of actual fish meat, but not worth the price, either. Also I thought it was really unbelievable that the restaurant closes at 7:00, and at 6:15 they shut the music off on us while we were still eating, tonight, Nov 9, 2025. Then our waitress and the staff started cleaning up our table like you do when someone's gone, picking up the money and the receipts, while we were still sitting there! In addition, they tacked on a 20% tip for themselves that wasn't at all deserved. They did this to a group of 10 veterans. Many of the people had been there before, and wanted to share the good memories that they had had had in previous visits there, with new people. None of the people will ever come back. One couple got a grilled cheese sandwich to split, with some onion rings. One had a soft drink and one had a beer. With the tack-on on of 20%, the bill came to over $50. Shame on you. You just ruined a tradition for many people. No one could recommended the type of service or food that you served tonight. We won't be back. Someone forgot to consider the experience and food quality has to match the reputation.. perhaps your restaurant managers and owners should read the many disappointed reviews you're getting lately. Before it's too late. However it might be already.

Great place off the beaten path to cool down and get a nice cold drink! They welcomed our 3 dogs gave them water and served us cold beer. We heard the bacon Mac n cheese and grilled cheese were great so we gave them a try. They both were good and filling. The best thing was the frozen Irish coffee with Oreos on top. If anything just go there for the frozen coffee!!!

We saw Mary Ellen’s featured on a video some folks did of a Key West pub crawl. This place is really awesome. From the minute you walk in you take in all of decor, the wall of beer cans, the lighting on the ceiling and all the eclectic artwork. It’s a really cool little spot. We had a couple of drinks and the grilled cheese is fantastic. We will be back.

This place is off on a side street from Duval. The bartender was friendly and attentive. We split a steak sandwich that was really good. The gave a frozen coffee drink that is a must get. We were here on 10/17/25.

It’s dark in the bar, so these pictures aren’t going to look great but this is a good spot to have some “munchies” food. I thought the wings were great. I eat wings more often than I’d like to admit and these are really good, wasn’t expecting to find that here as I know people talk mostly about the grilled cheese, which I didn’t try.

We stopped here multiple times during our week in the keys - everytime we did the bartenders were super friendly and on point! The grilled cheese was one of the best I’ve ever had, fish tacos were amazing, pickle fries were perfect! Wish we had more time to try more food. We did music trivia (I’m assuming that’s what it would have been) one of the nights and it was pretty fun - it’s all off your phone which makes it very easy to participate when you want. The drinks were strong but that’s what we’re there for! Bloody Mary’s were money! The bad reviews on this place are stupid and I love the responses even more! Totally worth a stop!

If you don't have the Jerk Chicken Quesadilla, you are missing out. The best I've ever had. If you're not paying attention, you'll miss this gem off Duval. The service is fantastic. The food is great. And the prices are reasonable for a tourist island.

Such a great bar, from the outside it doesn't look anything special. We had two great evenings here, there's always something going on. The chicken tenders and quesadillas are to die for. If you don't drop in, you're missing out!

Legendary bar where the King of Key West played his first concert. Free hotdogs, peanuts, and popcorn. 🌭🥜🍿 Cool bartenders and great atmosphere. Hard to find but worth it.

This is a must stop of you are a Jimmy Buffett fan! Very small place and seating is very limited. They offer free popcorn, peanuts and hot dogs for food. Great drinks and domestic beers with at least one craft choice on bottles. The place is a shrine to the characters of old Key West and of course where Jimmy got his start in 1971. Talk to the bartenders and they'll tell you great stories of the old days.

Cold drinks, (cool backstory) Jimmy Buffet hang out, hot dogs, peanuts and popcorn. Great dive bar. Little hard to find but well worth it.

I’m a Huge Jimmy Buffett fan so I was looking forward to stopping by the Chart room. Must tell you it was disappointing to say the least. Certainly a hole in the wall inside a hotel - hard to find. I’m sure when Buffett was hanging out here it was different. If you want to check it off your list of things to do Feel free to stop by, but don’t expect a friendly bartender to greet you when you walk in. Drink selections are limited to the Basics - more or less a tourist trap

Only in Key West. A dive bar with a resort built around it. Have not stayed at the Pier House Resort, but the Chart Room is definitely worth a visit. Very old school KW, surrounded by very new school KW. This is where Jimmy Buffett 1st stopped upon arriving in KW (allegedly) and played for the likes of Hunter S. Thompson and Jim Croce. This is where Mel Fisher charted his days searching for the shipwrecked Atocha (at the round table in the back). This is where Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote wet their whistle (but not at the same time). This is where the Pirate Who Looked at Forty Philip Clark tended bar. This is where David Allan Coe was inspired by poet Shel Silverstein. This is where famous and not-so-famous regulars have their ashes interred in the bar (seriously, look for the corks). Most of Key West's history is embellishments and outright BS, and this awesome bar fits right in.

It was a nice little bar! It was so packed we weren’t able to eat or drink anything. We just wanted to see where Jimmy Buffet liked to hang out! We will definitely revisit next time we visit Key West

Still gave it a 5-star rating even though they don't serve food. They give away hot dogs popcorn and peanuts! Hot dogs are okay but don't plan on making a meal out of them. Real small and hard to find you have to actually go into the hotel area but it is open to the public! You can park there for free.

We loved this place it was such a great time. So eclectic and cool. The key lime pie was delicious. My husband had the mahi sandwich which was juicy and flaky. I ate the shrimp and grits as well which was tasty. We went as a group and everyone of us enjoyed the food. The service was amazing. It was fun to have the chickens hanging outside while we ate. Super cute gift shop I bought a tile with chickens on it. They also let you bring your catch of the day and cook it for you which is really neat

Really neat and eclectic place to eat! The food was delicious, and albeit very expensive, you could tell they emphasized food quality and prioritized organic, local, and farm to table produce and food. Their key lime pie was also very delicious. There are free range chickens roaming around and live music playing. It’s loud, but definitely a really cool experience. I don’t think I’ve eaten at a place quite like it. It feels like a haven inside key west.

If you’re in Key West, Blue Heaven absolutely lives up to its name — it’s a little slice of paradise on a plate! We went for Sunday lunch while on vacation, and even though the place was super busy (we waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes), it was totally worth the wait. The vibe is pure Key West — open-air, al fresco dining, colorful decor, chickens wandering around, and live music adding to the laid-back island feel. I ordered the Surf and Turf Benedict, which features Filet Mignon and Lobster — and wow, it was phenomenally good. Perfectly cooked, rich, and absolutely unique. My friends’ dishes were just as amazing: the BLT Benedict (where the “L” stands for Lobster) and a Shrimp Omelette that was loaded and flavorful. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying their famous Key Lime Pie, and it did not disappoint. Tangy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet — easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Whether you’re a foodie or just want the quintessential Key West experience, Blue Heaven is a must-visit. I’d recommend it to anyone heading to the island — just go early, be patient, and enjoy the tropical atmosphere while you wait.

As always a fun and amazing place! Breakfast was amazing on a Saturday! My crew and I got there nice and early just a little after open and walked right in. Certainly filled shortly after. Still all good because they open the bar across the street to get your vitamin c on. Most of us got the Lobster grits and BLT Benedicts which were delicious! Service was amazing!

Low key but relaxing and cool outdoors setting. Great spot for breakfast and brunch probably for dinner too. Come early before 10am to escape the long wait line. The line gets so long they have a waiting area across the street, the size of a restaurant. The food does not disappoint but doesn’t wow either. The roosters trying to catch a chicken and flying over our table were a bit much for me, but people seemed to enjoy it.

Perfect Brunch Spot!! my friends, and I came here before our snorkeling adventure, we had to wait about 30 minutes before being seated, but it was so worth it! Our server was very nice and told us about all of the specials! The lobster omelette was a big hit at our table as well as the lobster Benedict! The lobster was so fresh and yummy!! let’s not forget the FAMOUS KEY LIME PIE! WOW!! 100/10! I’m usually not a Keylime pie person but the one at Blue Heaven definitely changed my mind!! I highly recommend coming here and checking it out! I can’t wait to bring my family here next time we come to visit!

This place is so cool!!! Live music and a lot of roosters to make you company for breakfast. 😅 We waited in line for 15/20 minutes but Service was so fast! We ordered some blueberry pancakes, egg Benedict’s with lobster was from another world! It was soooo delicious!!! Definitely recommend!! Key lime pie was really creamy and the merengue was good. A place that we you come back, for sure, next time we go to Key west.

Well, it's the place to go, so we went. Pretty common food joint in my opinion but others seem to love it. I don't personally like seafood, so that may have something to do with it. It was hot as Hades when we were there but there were plenty of fans going. Food was good and reasonably fair priced. Sunset was amazing from this viewpoint also. Good variety of food to choose from.

Great food, not so great service. We had the Stock Island Mixed Grill and the Shrimp Tacos, both were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The place has a great local vibe and feels very authentic to the Keys. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the food. We were a large group and asked from the start if we could have separate checks. The waitress said they couldn’t split them but that we could each pay our part at the end. When the check came, it was all together, and we ended up having to split everything ourselves, not ideal after a big meal and a few beers. We totally understand that some restaurants don’t split checks, but usually they at least help process payments individually on the device, which makes it much easier for big groups. A little help from the waitress would have made a big difference.

We loved this restaurant. It looked at bit sketchy going to it but once you get there you will feel safe. The food was fantastic. The waitress was great at keeping us full with drinks. Nice view of the water. Music playing.

Al little off the beaten path but worth the effort ,mostly locals go here. The food is very good . We had conch chowder and hogfish sandwiches. The hog fish has a buttery taste and flaky texture. Bahamian chowder was thick like chili and good.

We did a pickup order from here and it was ready on time with all necessities to enjoy our meal. We really enjoyed the rice & beans. Lobster Mac was ok. Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the sandwich because we left it out too long and wasn’t sure if it spoiled.

So on a recommendation we went in search of Hogfish Bar & Grill. It took a Google Maps search to find it, but we did. It was worth the search. We began with their Lobster Bisque. It was the best we have had... maybe ever. Full of lobster pieces and chunks, a mild favor of dry sherry, and not over powered by tomato paste. It was absolutely delightful. We, my lovely wife and I highly recommend it. And the bowl is enough for a couple to share as an appetizer or to feed a hungry sailor. Next, my wife chose the shrimp and chips basket. It came with only 6 shrimp, but they were not just large, but really big. A light crispy fried coating. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Perfectly cooked with a basket of fries, a cup of slaw and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were fresh and delicious. And the six were enough for a meal. The fries were crispy and the slaw were good. But the shrimp was amazingly delicious. I chose the special; the whole Florida Lobster stuffed with Lump Crab Meat. It was served with rice, a cream sauce for the rice, and the chef's steamed vegetables. This was beyond delicious. It was probably a 1 or 2 lb spiny lobster, cooked perfectly and stuffed with lump crab meat with out peppers, onions, unnecessary breadcrumbs, but hust lots of crab with some butter and a little Panco and nothing else. It was unforgettable. Served with melted butter which it really didn't need. The lobster was sweet and naturally buttery. Cooked perfectly. The rice with cream sauce was a perfect compliment with the steam veggies. We chose to eat by the water on the deck, which only added to the ambiance. This place, this food is worth the search. We have eaten in many of the Keys eateries, but Hogfish is the best.

Nice ambience with live music. Service was quick and friendly. Food came out fast too. Started with Lobster Bisque and Conch Soup. My whole Fish was great! Hogfish stuffed with Crab Meat with Cream Sauce was nice. Yellow rice and Beans taste good. A must stop for perfectly cooked fresh Fish in the island!

We sat outside by the water as the weather was beautiful which accompanied our visit and delicious meal. From the moment we sat down, David our server, was attentive and courteous. He brought our drinks, appetizers and meal with a smile. Shout out to the amazing executive chef Steve! He spoke to some of the guests and treated us like family. The food was delicious and great portion sizes. We will definitely visit again. You should stop by too!

We visited here during the week at around 1PM to have lunch. The place was moderate ly busy, but we were still able to be seated quickly, even getting to opportunity to choose our table if preference. The service was great and the food was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was amazing, sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and the view of ocean. I'm definitely going back there the next time I'm in Key Largo.

The location is just perfect! The service though is really lacking. Took a while to even be seen by the hostess then they continued a conversation with an en employee. Once we were seated the waitress was nice. It took forever to get food though and she started to not come back to check on us. The food was good. The jambalaya is to die for! The lack of key west pinks as a shrimp option was disappointing. When you are charging that much for a fried shrimp basket I would expect to have something other than farm raised frozen shrimp.

An absolutely amazing dining experience! The food was incredible, with the lobster mac and cheese and the HUGE shrimp burger being must-try standouts all worth the price. The location is perfect for families, sitting right by the water with an amazing view, you can even rent jet skis! To top it all off, the service was impeccable. Our waiter was fantastic, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the head chef Steve, who was super accommodating and ensured all our needs were met. Highly recommend!

Lovely way to spend an evening in Key Largo! Erlan was a fantastic server and the atmosphere is great. I had the coconut shrimp and husband had the cheeseburger and LOVED it! Come and enjoy!

We came all the way from Atlanta and seattle and tell me why David, Gave us such great service provided us with menu details and recommendations! Then Stebe The sous chef came out and totally gave us amazing hospitality, and recommended fish Preferences since they were out of hog fish, but we did get a hot fish, a triple fish, and a yellowtail hands-down, the mahi-mahi bites and everything was great! They recommended a Keylime pie, which was the perfect tart and sweetness! My family…. Satisfying in a full Of deliciousness in the ballet, I would recommend this place!, Especially since we had a 2 Hour Dr., they turned into a 3 1/2 hour drive. Thank you, snapper and thank you David and Steve!!! From full and satisfied belly!

Really enjoyed this very "Keysey" waterfront dining experience! I was working nearby as a Wedding DJ in Key Largo/Tavernier , for a destination wedding, and sooo glad I stopped in! Let's start with the relaxing views and vibe, which are not to be missed. Then there was the warm, friendly service courtesy of Amanda & Katy, which adds to the experience. Even met Chef Floyd who was caf! Lol If you're in a hurry, this is not the best choice, as it's really laid back and relaxed, and service can be slow, yet it's a "so what" typa thing. Come and relax. Food was really tasty. I had the Mahi sandwich on very tasty home made multi grain bread (although menu said it was whole wheat). Fries were golden brown and cooked to perfection. Second visit had tasty Mahi Bites and the dipping sauce made it even tastier! Had a side of tostones which were also tasty, golden brown and crunchy! There's live entertainment 7 nights a week and they add daytime entertainment on weekends as well. Highly recommend! Come, relax, and enjoy!! It's a lil off the main road and easy to miss, but don't miss it!

Staff were friendly and attentive, bringing our pup a water bowl with our drinks! The fries meet the hype, so tasty. If you’re hesitant, just try them. They had great beer options in can and bottle (featuring many keys based breweries, which is cool to see local) but the biggest downside to this place is not having beer on tap.

We chose this restaurant for our daughter’s 16th birthday and we had an amazing experience. We arrived around 6p and were seated immediately and though the seating is outside, it is covered and cool with a breeze off the water! Our party of 5 got four bacon cheeseburgers (delicious and good size) and my youngest got chicken fingers. We had to try their famous French fries and hush puppies which everyone enjoyed. The service was amazing and the owner was truly invested in making sure we had a great experience. They surprised my daughter with a slice of their Key Lime Pie (made in house) and then their fried key lime pie! We are already planning our next visit before we leave town. Thanks Burdines!

This place was such a good experience. My husband and I so enjoyed our food. I had the mahi sandwich which was phenomenal and so reasonably priced. I couldn’t believe how quickly they brought the food out it was amazing service. We also spotted a manatee while we were eating. This is a great place for the vibes. Would totally return!

We came to Burdines Waterfront on a whim, and The food was honestly incredible. Our server Emerson was so kind and attentive. Every recommendation he made was spot-on, and the Key Lime Pie was hands down the best I’ve ever had in the Keys (and I’ve tried quite a few). This place will definitely be a staple for us every time we come back to the Keys. Thank you so much for the great service and even better food!

The food and the service were top tier! Waiter was a very friendly & attentive gentleman. This seafood here blows anything else out of the water! ( we tried the steak & seafood house last trip and were not a fan at all so very pleased to be impressed by this place!) We look forward to coming back next time ! Thank you!

Great food, service and view of the water. Hubby had hush puppies and cheesesteak...Gluten-free Mahi sandwich for me...and fries. Very good and we will be back!

A friend of ours recommended Burdines for great burgers. It did not disappoint. The burgers were outstanding, the fries were next level of goodness. Our server was Allen. He was very attentive and funny. The view of the canal was peaceful. We were hoping to spot some marine life but didn’t. We ended our meal with the best key lime pie ever. When we come back to the keys, we will be coming back here for sure.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Went here last night for our final dinner of our keys trip this year. Our server was great, and so was the food! 3 of our 5 meals were different tuna dishes - all were delicious! We also had a blackened grouper plate and a pizza - so good! Safe to say this place is going on the rotation for our group when we come to Marathon!

Really cool place to eat. The conch fritters were so fresh and the seafood was good quality. The staff was so friendly! The view is beautiful out onto the water and the ventilation is good with the fans so the heat didn’t feel too stifling. Kind staff and a great atmosphere. Would recommend!

Overall great experience! Plenty of parking, great atmosphere, food and drinks. Bartenders Jordan was amazing! The ahi tuna, wood fired pizza and Bloody Mary (homemade mix) were awesome. They also have High Noon teas. Bathrooms were clean and they have live music most nights. Will definitely go back.

About 10 years ago, we were on Marathon Key and we learned about Sparky’s Landing. We tried their fish tacos and were hooked! We’ve been back a few times and we were excited to drive up from Key West to enjoy the delicious fish tacos- best tacos anywhere! Beautiful location, waterfront, great servers and service. We will be back!

Cajun pasta Nd fish plate ok but not wow. Nice location by docks. Key lime pie tall but a tad low on flavor. Unusual souvenir shop in converted travel trailer. Ok in a pinch.

After running into some dead ends a few other places, we found Sparkys. Great waitress, beautiful view, seating outside, grouper sandwicheswere fantastic. The hostess wasn't very friendly but everything else was great. Will be back.

Had the twin lobster and got it spa my style. Perfectly cooked and the queso was good as well. We also tried their shrimp Cajun egg rolls which was on special and they were good as well. Cajun pasta was on point as well. Highly recommend this place.

This is a nice spot for seafood dinner. The oysters are reasonably priced, and I really enjoyed the combination with black caviar. You can choose to sit either inside or outside, and the place is usually quite busy. I wouldn’t call it a full restaurant, more like a cozy cafe.

We had a good time at Alonzo’s … just into Key West, walking the Key West Bight harbor area, watched the tarpon feeding out front, and viola, it’s happy hour! Cocktails good, oysters good, mussels a bit spicy but good. Staff friendly and great! Fun place to stop for a cocktail, time it for the 4:00pm tarpon feeding! Recommend Alonzo’s!

We stopped in at Alonzo's to take a break from the sun. Nicole was are bartender and made the best key lime pie martinis we've ever had. Bar/restaurant itself is classy, clean & comfortable. Happy to see gluten free options on the menu, we look forward to returning for food and cocktails. Cheers 🍸

Great oysters including the sides. Sean the server is beyond exceptional. But the selling point - the mussels I've never had mussles this good. Perfect spice, tomato base only without wine or overpowering other stuff.. I'm trying to buy the recipe from the waiter

Great location on the water. Our service was great by Deborah. We went for happy hour and tried the conch fritters. Unfortunately they weren’t the greatest with the filling quite mushy.

Good food. Enjoyed the outdoor seating near the water. Staff was quiet but polite. Drinks were decent. Wasnt super loud so it was easy to talk but they did have music playing.

The service here is beyond expectations! Milana made us feel like VIPs. She recommended a few things from the menu and everything she mentioned was 🔥—especially the oysters and coconut grouper. Hot towels in the end of the meal made us feel flying first class. She insisted to try homemade Key lime pie. The best pie we have ever tried. Can’t wait to be back!

Neat place to walk around the docks and great photo-op out back! Beautiful view, great, relaxed atmosphere. We were seated immediately (just two of us), but there’s plenty of seating indoors and out. Service was great- prompt but not rushed at all. I had the Mahi tacos and my husband had the burger with egg. I had the cracked conch for an app (very tasty). The food was good and the service was excellent. Would def come back!

As soon as I came in the place was just vibrant very cool out of all the places in the area something drew us here and as Google reviewers throughout the world, we’ve seen lots of places we’ve had lots of seafood and many many different countries and all across the USA we have 9 million views on our pictures and reviews i’m telling you right now this place is a real gym. Special thanks to Brian and team. My wife is still smiling and talking about the grouper. She said it was the best fish she ever had and I couldn’t agree. More Keylime grouper is the hit. Now let me tell you about the drinks, Laura Jesus, the Keylime martini and The Keylime piña colada was awesome. We absolutely left the place with a smile. The dude was so cool. They gave us the best Keylime pie ever ahead of my life and you’ll see it in the pictures. This is a very detailed review with pictures videos at 4K and the view was astonishing will be back Brian and team.

The view was great along with the food. We got wahoo bites as an appetizer, fried fish baskets and key lime pie for dessert. I am not always the biggest fan of fish but every thing I ate here was delicious.

Stopped by for dinner while on a work trip. Great experience, amazing food and my sever Nike was awesome and very helpful. Will definitely stop by everytime I am in the keys. I'd suggest the name sake of the restaurant for your dinner needs, exceptional wahoo fillet.

Loved the atmosphere, we sat outside on deck had ocean view all around. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the area and gave us great selections on the food. We took his advice and ordered the whole snapper. Delicious 😋!

We had wahoo bites, crab topped fried green tomatoes and tuna nacho’s. Absolutely delicious. Our bartender Payton was so sweet and loved the southern accent. She made us the specialty drink a watermelon basil spritz. So good it could get you in trouble. Highly recommend this place

Skippers was a beautiful atmosphere, good food. Service was slow, server only came to the table to take our order, drop the food, and drop the check. We had to go inside to ask for a side of sauce that we needed and didn't get refills on our drinks. The food was very good, just don't come thirsty and know you'll need to be patient!

Great experience! Our waitress, Sheila was phenomenal along with the rest of the staff that served us. The food was excellent especially their Key Lime Pie with a Sandbar Beer - highly recommend. We had conch fritters, hogfish & snapper. Really tasty, great job everyone!

Came here 2 years ago. We had coconut shrimp for the first time and we're hooked! Pardon the pun... We had this again and to our suprise this had 2 more shrimp than the last time we visited. We also had the sliders X3. All was all very nice, would definitely recommend. The views were also very pleasing.

Great evening and terrific food! Araceli offered wonderful service and recommendations! Beautiful evening, live music, great service! The food was very tasty and seasoned well. Get the calamari! Huge portions.

Revisited yesterday after a first visit 2 years ago. Coconut shrimp was as great as I remembered and you got 2 extra! Also had the sliders which were tasty and juicy. Live music was quiet and tasteful. Considering a revisit on the way back up from key west.

We had a pleasant lunch here. Our food was great and the service was good. Loved that dogs were welcome on the deck.

The food was fresh. We had Sunday brunch. The restaurant was cold. They could have turned down the AC a bit. They did have live entertainment. We appreciated the manager coming by to check on us. Kind of pricey tho.

Mediocre would be my overall experience having dinner at La Trattoria. While we did not have a reservation, we were seated right away. Our waiter was good and came by often. The atmosphere was nice but not overly inviting. Our meals were OK but nothing to get excited about. The Chicken Saltimbocca was not that flavorful and the portion was a bit small. Overall our experience and meals were “acceptable”.

Very good Italian food right on Duval Street. We sat at a cozy table for two a short distance from the bar. No problem with noise. The wine and both our meals were very good. In fact, my cannelloni filled with ground veal and spinach in a tomato cream sauce was excellent! Wife enjoyed her chicken piccata. We capped off the night with a slice of their outstanding key lime pie.

For our honeymoon we were seated with a window view. We made reservations for 7PM and arrived 15 minutes and were seated right away. The linguine vongole was delicious and my husband enjoyed the hogfish. Everything was hot and fresh. We highly recommend this place and you won't be disappointed!

the bruschetta appetizer and the gnocchi gorganzola were delicious. the razzle dazzle martini was very refreshing! Ruben was an awesome waiter.

The food is amazing… Authentic Italian flavors. The restaurant is clean and the service amazing. Thank you to our server Walter, he did a good job 👍

I'm glad the waiter told us about half and half pastas! All amazing! Also, the key lime pie margarita was great!

So good! Food was amazing! Martinis unmatched. Christopher was the best! Loved it!

Such a great lunch spot! My friends and I stopped here during our drive back to Miami. The staff, we were so nice and really wanted you to have the best experience. The food was so fresh, but came quickly and they even sent us home with some complementary fresh iced teas! I had the jerk mahi-mahi tacos and they were amazing highly recommend! And the fritters are so yummy!

If I could give this place more stars, I would! Every single one of the staff were beyond welcoming and genuinely pleasant to be around. Our waitress, I wish I could remember her name, she was a thin beautiful blonde woman, and she was truly one of the best I’ve ever encountered! She was so sweet and we never had to ask for a single thing, she was on it. The manager was nice and friendly too. We got to sit next to the water and they brought our son food to feed the fish. Just a gorgeous environment and even better food and service. We’ll definitely be back!

Pilot house was amazing! We are visiting from Huntsville, AL and we could not have gotten better service, food, AND suggestions from our wonderful server Judy! She was so personable, suggested we change the macadamia Mahi Mahi platter to snapper, and MAN THAT WAS AMAZING! You will not be disappointed and leave wanting to come back!

Awesome restaurant with amazing views and the food is delish! The best part was the service by Denis who was so attentive and made me a super yummy guayaba margarita! Make sure to ask him to make you one!

We had reservations for 5:30 on a Friday. They had live music; they had someone singing and playing the guitar and he was very good. Our waitress was friendly and always available, she kept our waters full and was quick to clean our table and take our orders. We never had to look for her. The food was very good and reasonably priced. There were many menu choices and with a happy hour menu. It started to rain and we needed to move and they were quick to accommodate us to another table. We were lucky that it was not crowded. There was plenty of outside parking. The atmosphere was very casual with a view of the marina and with a nice breeze. Great night out with friends and I will definitely return.

Shared a nice dinner right off the water on the outdoor patio. Great atmosphere and great food. The macadamia crusted snapper was delicious and flavorful. Service was great as well.

The ONLY place in Key Largo you can be Keezy and well fed with great love music. Wish we could find some famous Captain Pete’s Banana Pepper Mustard…😑⭐️

The Sunset Pier restaurant is located on the oceanfront with a beautiful view. We ordered shrimp and a lobster roll, which turned out to be a hit, very good. You can enjoy both the view and the excellent food. I highly recommend it.

Great little spot on the waters edge. Awesome views all around..service was good, though they were busier than usual our server did an excellent job staying on top of everything and was polite and friendly. The Lobster Rolls were excellent and fabulous key lime pie (cheesecake esque). Only complaint would be the bizarre location and walk to the bathrooms. But I recommend this spot for drinks, food and live music.

One of the best places to hang on Key West. Incredible views of the water and passing boats, usually live music on the stage, TVs, vibrant colors, fans to keep cool, feels like paradise! We loved sitting at the bar but also walking up and down the pier near the water on the path. It could almost seem like a hidden gem with less of a crowd than Duval! Bartending service was great as were the drinks, snacks, and memories!

So, I was fortunate enough to be in Key West for a few days and stopped by the Sunset Pier while I was there. My lady and I enjoyed our time. There was a band playing some soulful old school music. The food and the service were great. And the view! Watching the sunset while listening to good live music, enjoying good food and drinks with my lady. It'll be hard to find a better way to spend an evening. Hopefully I'll find myself back in Key West before too long and when I do, I'll be looking to revisit.

The view from here is absolutely amazing. It was a bit hot, so I had a cold drink next to a big fan to cool down. It was an awkward time to visit, so I didn't order any food. But it's a great spot to relax and enjoy the lovely sea views in a really chilled-out atmosphere. I'd definitely like to try the food next time I get a chance to visit. Anyway, I'd highly recommend it. It's an absolute must-see.

Meh. The burger was OK. My husband got the tuna poke bowl and the rice was an overcooked glob of mush. Ruined the whole dish. The rest of the poke bowl was bland and flavorless. Not worth the money. The view was great. We went mid-afternoon, no wait.

My wife and I visit the Sunset Pier every year (for the past 20 years) on at least evening during our annual Florida Keys vacation because it's literally the best place to watch the sunset and have a cocktail at the same time. We've occasionally eaten at the bar here (for lunch), but the food is not really the major attraction, because there are so many other places with better food on the island. It's the view and the atmosphere that is the hallmark of this place. It's changed somewhat over the years, and we noted on this visit they'd set up a pretty large band stand for live music acts. On our most recent visit (July 18, 2025) they had a great three piece band that played hits from the 60-80s. A few hits into the start of their sunset show, this older Black man who looked to be in his late 70s or early 80s (who the other band members called "The Soul Man") shows up in electric wheel chair and started singing like he was Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cook, or Otis Redding reincarnated. We weren't even sure if he was a local "amateur" or a full-time member of the traveling band. He had an incredible voice and we stayed for several hours listening to him. During New Years Eve, they usually close the pier off for a gala event that they charge steep prices for, but all other times we've been here its always been open to everyone on a first come first serve basis. If you do plan to dine here, then I'd recommend arriving at least 90 minutes before sunset to ensure you get a rail-side table with an unobstructed view of the harbor. If the weather is sunny, you will probably wear out your camera taking 100s of pictures of the sunset and all of the beautiful old schooners that sail up and down the harbor during this magical time of the day when the color of the sky changes so dramatically in a 90 minute period.

Good solid meal. The conch soup was tasty and kids loved the steaks. The inside seating is tiny so the netted area was best, rather than the full outside seating. The marina provided a nice backdrop. Pretty good place.

We absolutely love this restaurant. The homemade chips are a must, and anything Bert’s is to die for. Food for the soul, and the seafood pasta is so delicious and I always have left overs because the portions are not stingy. For drinks the Smashed Buzzard is my all time favorite and just 3 of these have me feeling Naughty. I never steer anyone wrong when it comes to food, because I’m a fatty at heart. I know good food, trust me.

Delicious 🤤 conch fritters! The blackened chicken with avocado and bacon was really good. Must try the fried grouper sandwich. The seafood sampler with mahi mahi scallops and shrimp! Also loved my smashed buzzard drink. Our server Heidi was on point and made great suggestions! Overall a great experience and we are definitely coming again. This place is a hidden 💎!

What a great Sunday Brunch! Eggs Oscar with the blue crab was delicious. Fresh orange/fruit juice would really put this beautiful restaurant over the top. The live music was perfect, not too loud, very enjoyable.

All 6 people in my party enjoyed their meals! The food portions were generous with fantastic well-balanced flavors in each dish. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu items and additionally offered some great tourist advice to continue our Key Largo adventure.

Great atmosphere. Nice wait staff. I had the Chicken Marsala..it was okay... I think it would be very good...if the sauce was richer! I'd return and try something else. I did have the potato skins as an appetizer shared with someone else, and they were pretty amazing.

Delicious lunch! We had a Greek salad with grilled Hogfish, sincerely the best Greek salad I have ever eaten! The waitress was super friendly and helpful with food sensitivity issues. Great atmosphere! Will be back!!

Great atmosphere, good vibes, cool breezes and live music. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves here. Service was great as were the drinks! Do yourself a favor and order the Ahi Tuna Nachos...so frigging good! I ordered them raw and the taste and consistency was on par with a 1 star Michelin restaurant. They really are that good!

The atmosphere was ABSOLUTELY Fantastic. It was fun and family-friendly. The decor was extremely well decorated. The seared ahi tuna nachos were the Star of the meal. The reuben grouper was really enjoyable. The mahi tacos were top-notch and blackened fried chicken sandwich was well seasoned. The customer service could have been better. The server was the only person covering the indoor seating and did not seem to have a lot of assistance. However the overall experience was fun and really good stop if you are in the area.

Great atmosphere and even better food. Our table got the grouper Reuben, mahi sandwich, and the tuna tacos and everything was phenomenal. The tuna tacos were the best I’ve ever had & the grouper Reuben was delicious! There’s a long pier that you can walk out on to look in the water as well. Bathrooms are spotless. Highly recommend!

While the atmosphere is great the food was lackluster. Being in the Keys, surrounded by fresh seafood, you served frozen trucked in foods. My seared tuna nachos($24)were the only highlight with a good flavor combination. But $16 for frozen coconut shrimp and $15 for frozen calamari. And it’s not hard to freshly batter some shrimp and calamari and toss it in a fryer - seriously - what a disappointment. Kids chicken tenders with sweet potato fries $14. $69 total for a mostly frozen dinner.

The atmosphere here is pretty good. It is on the water with some nice views. The staff is friendly. I had the Fisherman’s combo and my wife the Jumbo Shrimp fried basket. The food was good. We dined there on 10/18/25.

Kiki's has a nice vibe. We went on a Tuesday night and there was a great live singer. Ordered ahi nachos. The sauce was just enough. Friends ordered the mahi mahi and grilled shrimp with one other plate was coconut shrimp

Ahi Tuna Nachos were A++. Have gone here multiple times over the years. Would highly recommend any starters to share with a cold local beer. A plus- Bathrooms have a nice natural salt scrub and AC on blast.

We came here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and the experience couldn’t have been better. The food was delicious & the service was amazing! The sunset view & the property itself (Plantation style building with Moroccan decor) on was incredible. Shout out to the manager Rose, our waitress Margarita, the chef & hostess. Thank you for making our celebration so special. Looking forward to returning soon with the family. If you are looking for the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion this is it. Make your reservation, you will not regret it.

Pierre’s is where island charm meets upscale dining—with one of the best sunset views in all of the Florida Keys. The setting is absolutely dreamy: a colonial-style beach house surrounded by swaying palms, with cozy porch seating that lets you watch the sun melt into the water. The food? Elegant and inspired. We loved the tender lamb, perfectly cooked sea bass, and rich, flavorful sauces that brought every dish to life. Craft cocktails and wine pairings were spot on. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want to feel like royalty for a night, Pierre’s delivers an unforgettable experience. Come for the view, stay for the flavor, and don’t forget to linger with a drink on the sand afterward.

I wanted to share our new happy hour menu. We are hoping to pair the best sunset spot with the best cocktail happy hour in Islamorada! Available at the Lounge at Pierre’s! Monday - Friday, 5-7pm. The Grignotines (on the lounge menu) are happy hour pricing always. Awesome opportunity to sample our menu!

Perfect sunset views and beautifully prepared seafood. The red snapper was crisp and flavorful, the foie gras rich and perfectly seared, and dessert was the perfect finish. Excellent ambiance right by the water, ideal for a relaxing, elegant evening.

Expensive! Really worth it if you can afford it. The food is delicious and well thought out. The service is attentive and very well trained and inviting. The restaurant is in a old house it seems and it's a very home-y atmosphere. Would love to go here again :)

We walked in by chance, hoping for a walk-in table seating. We were given an indoor seating , which was fine, since we had spent all day on the water. The interior was lovely with authentic antiques throughout. The service was impeccable. The food outstanding. Gabriella our server and restaurant Manager went above and beyond to make our dining experience something to remember. Included are a few pictures from our burrata salad, black grouper, and Keylime pie. The views were spectacular from the second floor. Although we were inside, we saw an amazing sunset. Highly recommend as a fine dining option in Islamorada.

HIDDEN GEM!!! The food was so good and the decor was so romantic. Me and my family had a tough few days at a hotel near by and needed good food. This place hit the spot instantly. We got a salad that tasted so fresh and smelled like a garden. I am originally from New York and was not expecting food like this. The chicken was amazing as well. I am not that big of a fan of mushrooms but I ate the whole plate. Amazing amazing. The chef was absolutely exquisite and I wish they had another location. YUM YUM YUM

Dante's Pool Bar and Grill is a fantastic spot for both partying and relaxing! On weekends, enjoy a lively atmosphere with a live DJ, great drinks, and tasty food by the large pool. During weekdays, it’s a family-friendly place to chill. The pool area has free lounge chairs for sunbathing, shaded spots, two bars, and plenty of tables for dining. Conveniently, there’s a parking garage right next door on Grinnel St for $5/hour. Highly recommend!

If you're in Key West and looking for a place to get out of the heat and humidity, Dante's is a solid option. We went and there was no cover fee to get in, though locals mentioned that during busier seasons or for events, a charge can sometimes apply. My advice would be to arrive when they first open so you can secure a lounger, as it can get pretty packed out. Dante's features a large pool in the center of the area. There's a sailfish water fountain and a waterfall that goes over rocks in the background. While there is a good amount of seating, much of it with shade, getting there early is key to getting a good spot, especially during busier times. It's a good setup for relaxing and staying cool. The food we ordered was good. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, the Ceviche, and the Conch Fritters. Our waitress was Lexi, and she was very busy, running drinks to everyone and keeping up with orders throughout our visit. She clearly worked hard to make sure guests had their food and drinks. They had a DJ playing music, and the restrooms, located upstairs, were clean. If the heat and humidity in Key West are getting to you, Dante's provides a comfortable place to spend some time and stay cool.

Dante’s was incredible! We brought in the fish we caught on the Cora Beth fishing tour and for only $12.50 per person they cooked it up—half fried and half blackened. Hands down the best fish I’ve ever had, and the blackened seasoning was out of this world. Huge compliments to the chef! The poolside atmosphere made it even better—laid back, fun, and perfect for enjoying fresh fish in Key West. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This place was super fun! Waitress was very rude, though. I sat my things down by the pool and instead of “Welcome in! I’ll be your server.” It was immediately “you have to start a tab to sit here”- literally no hello or anything just attitude right off the bat. Decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she was having a bad day. Will give them another try, but hope the service is better next time.

It's July in Key West, which means its hot, like hot hot. We stayed on Duval so we walked everywhere in the sun, yikes. My daughter is the one who discovered Dante's and suggested we go there and enjoy the pool. Upon walking in to Dante's, it immediately felt like a oasis in the middle of all the surrounding concrete and buildings. There is no cover charge or entry fee to visit Dante's. All you need to do is just enjoy some libations munchies from the bar area. The pool is filled with crystal clear water and is so inviting, and there are cascading waterfalls flowing over a series of cliffs right into the pool, creating a tropical backdrop. The entire oasis is surrounded by Tiki bars, chaise lounges, and lounge dining with umbrellas overhead to keep you cool while eating and drinking. The moment we sat, a very friendly server came over and took our drink orders, there were so many to choose from. The drinks and eats: We went for Key West Lemonade(vodka & pink lemonade) and the Poolside Daydream(mango, coconut, pineapple, guava, rums, mixed with tropical fruit juices). Both of the drinks were delicious and refreshing, but the Poolside Daydream, really hit the spot (several times, lol). For the eats, we had hot pretzel bites, super nachos, and the chicken tenders. Your typical bar fare, but very good and satisfying. We stayed for a few hours, enjoying the pool, floating games, having some drink and eats, and just chilling and relaxing at the oasis we call Dante's.

We took our freshly caught mahi mahi to Dante's and they prepared it for us. The fish was perfect as well as the coleslaw and fries. Our waitress was wonderful and did a great job taking care of us. We had such a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Dante's to everyone.

Beautiful pool and atmosphere. You can walk up or park a boat. There are multiple bars and tables that surround the pool. Menu had a variety of choices. The Cobb salad was very large and had a good amount of everything in it. The key lime marinated chicken sandwich was good but nothing special, fries were a little over cook and soggy. Service was sub par however it was busy. They do check id's and bag on arrival which made it feel safe considering anyone can just park a boat and walk up. They had a dj which made this spot the place to be yesterday afternoon.

Very refreshing iced cocktails, especially on a hot day and evening. We really enjoyed our drinks and would happily return. Just know a lot of coupons will be valid for this branch rather than the one at the front. The venue is very nice and is clean. Loud music plays in the evenings so do not expect to relax. Overall a good experience.

I saw someone walking along Duval Street with a daiquiri in hand and got all excited. Turned around to see that a Fat Tuesday restaurant was right in front of me! I first discovered FT while in Tempe, AZ a few months ago. ATMOSPHERE: Unfortunately it's open-air so there was no relief from the 100% humidity sans for the misters spraying folks that walked in. Loud music and a mixed age group made it fun. BEVERAGE: Dreamsicle It was a good thing I ordered a small as I had a real nice buzz at the end. Thank you, everclear! I didn't know you could walk around with your alcohol beverage in hand!? Or was I illegal? Tasted like a blended popsicle with booze. SERVICE: Bartender service was fast and friendly. TIP: Try the Alligator Nuggs. Texture is like a fish and chicken had a baby. OVERALL: My new favorite chain restaurant that I wish would open in Hawaii.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to mainline gasoline in slushy form, welcome to Fat Tuesday Key West. The 190 Octane (153 proof grain alcohol + orange punch) is basically jet fuel with a citrus twist — I’m 90% sure my rental scooter ran better after I spilled some on it. The flavors here range from “fun beach vacation” (Piña Colada) to “pray for my liver” (Cat 5 Hurricane) to “this is how Florida Man is born” (Mardi Gras Mash with bourbon + triple sec). You can even get a 128oz gallon to go — because nothing says “responsible tourist” like walking down Duval Street with a jug of neon alcohol that could double as antifreeze. I got the Souvenir Squeeze Bottle thinking it was cute. Turns out, it’s basically a lifetime commitment — you’ll be refilling it until your doctor writes you a letter. Also, big respect to the Skinny Watermelon Daiquiri: same 153-proof grain alcohol, just “half the calories.” Because obviously the calories were the dangerous part. By the time I mixed 190 Octane Blue Raspberry with Mango Tango and topped it with Spicy Margarita, I’m pretty sure I accidentally discovered the cure for jet lag — or possibly astral projected into Jimmy Buffett’s backyard. Pro tip: Hydrate, wear sunglasses, and maybe text your mom before your third refill, because after that it’s anybody’s guess what your night (or your Instagram stories) will look like. Would I come back? Yes. Should you? Only if your insurance is paid up. 🍹🌴 #FrozenDecisions #DuvalStreetScience

Absolutely love this place and was so pleasantly surprised so see my all time favorite key west performer John!!! He’s always made our experience down in key west the most fun!!! Savannah also was such a great bartender! Cannot want to come back and check in with them again soon!!!

Fat Tuesday owes us nothing... We enjoyed the drinks and dancing! This is one of our go-to spots!

It’s 20 to Quetion‘s nearby ones bigger with way more choices. The other is like a stop and go for the cruise ship goers the bigger one has better five it has lots of seating parking in the area is atrocious, so good luck with that I had a golf cart and he’ll find parking anywhere. The drinks are good. I wouldn’t say that you’re going to get wasted off of them but if you need to cool down, it’s a great choice.

Been to other Fat Tuesday locations like Las Vegas. They don’t offer the massive drinks like they do out there, but you can still get plenty here though. They hit harder than I expected too, while yet being very flavorful. Solid quality frozen daiquiris from this chain. The area is fun, outdoors, has TVs, and a pool table available to play.

Erin the bartender was absolutely amazing! I will go see her every time I go to Key West! Great atmosphere! Incredibly nice locals! I had a blast with them! Great live music! My favorite place in Key West! Thanks again Erin for an amazing service!

Local here. Had to go to Rick's for a friend's birthday celebration. Drinks were a joke. Literally a full cup of ice with a splash of alcohol. I can't understand why people would go there. There are so many other choices nearby. Thankfully I won't have to go back.

The worst music imaginable and asked the dj to play hispanic music and he responded "we don't play that of music here"'...felt really racist and weird.. but definitely come here if you hate good music and wanna listen to stayin alive 4 times, made me in fact not want to stay alive.

Flew in to key west for the new year - New Year’s day came to Rick's expecting great New Year’s Day entertainment and couldn’t be more disappointed- music was a complete fail . Do BETTER Rick’s people fly in from far to celebrate in your town - hire some real DJ talent that gets people dancing and keeps them on the dance floor and buying drinks .

I loved this place. Across from the much more crowded Sloppy Joe's, it was very chill, with great live music. The bartender, Sage, was one of the best I've seen. Handles big crowds on her own with a smile and efficiency.

This is one of the worst places I have ever been too. They don’t treat anyone kindly and the atmosphere is the worst. DO NOT waste your time here!! I’m sure all the other reviews are fake because there’s no way anyone actually liked this place.

Went with my little sister, her boyfriend, and our friend. They DENIED us service and claimed their ID’s to be fake which they were not. I assume they aren’t used to a Michigan ID but we were on vacation as many people are in KEY WEST. We told them take them then and the cops can come tell you they’re real and we’ll wait but then they refused to confiscate the ID’s they seemed so sure to be fake. Essentially kicked out with real ID’s😂😂

You cannot beat the service food or view from this tiki bar. My husband and I ended up going here almost every single meal of our very short trip to Marathon because the food was just delicious and it was very convenient because we were staying in the hotel in front of it, but one time we ventured out, we were slightly disappointed that we decided to go somewhere else because the food would’ve been better if we just stayed at Barnacle Barney’s very recently for the type of food that is all you can eat fish fry on Friday was superb. Breakfast was amazing and all the other delicious things that we had we raved about after we ate there one of my favorite things that I had there was the Keylime sauce with the fish. It was so delicious. I would’ve bottled it up and taken it home with me if I could’ve. I also tried the Keylime pie and the lava dessert. This Keylime pie was the best we had and we tried several on the island because I love Keylime pie. Mary Joe the owner was super sweet and all of her servers were nice and kind and loved talking to you if you wanted to talk it was great. They do shots and a canon every night at Sunset so that’s a fun experience that you can see a canon shot off into a beautiful sunset view right off of the balcony.

Have visited before two years ago and loved it. Was so excited to come back. Boy were we wrong. How could a place go so down hill?! It was dirty everywhere and felt trashy. All the menu items were crossed off and the drinks were horrible. We could barely choke down the drinks. It was the last time we will visit there and very sad because has such potential on a beautiful resort.

After dinner, we stopped by for some drinks and to watch the sunset. We did not eat any food at Barnacle Barney's. We did enjoy a drink or two from their bar and we watched the sunset. They shoot a miniature cannon at sunset and it was entertaining. A Barnacle Barney's Sunset Tradition A beautiful spot to take in some waterfront views and enjoy the sunset. Some fishing and snorkeling charters leave from the docks nearby. A casual place to dine and drink by the water.

The service is great there. The bar staff are very nice and attentive. Great craft beer selection. The pretzel was one of the best I've ever had. They have live music several times a week. Good acts and they don't blow you out with the volume of their music. Added bonus, great place to view the sunset!

Nice little get away on water. Hidden behind resort. Reasonably priced.

My boyfriend and I love this place. It’s not just for people staying at the time share… by any means. It’s a great under-the-radar spot right on the water. The drinks are great, all of the food we’ve gotten has been great, the staff is awesome. We also LOVE to take our drinks down to the dock and feed the fish, talk to the charter captains, and just enjoy the scenery. If you’re looking for a place that isn’t so much of a tourist destination, this is your place. Give it a try. 🌴☀️

We had a great time here! Met a bunch of wonderful patrons and the bartenders were friendly and engaging! We will be back before we leave the Keys!!

Shoot a few games of pool....people watch on the balcony. Life is good. Bartenders are always great. El Jefé, wife n dad had a great time last weekend.

In a neon-lit corner of Key West, where the humidity clings to skin like an old friend who's had one too many, the Whistle Bar on Duval Street stands as a testament to Florida's particular brand of organized chaos. This isn't a place that whispers; it bellows its intentions through blue LED lighting, wooden latticework, and a peculiar spider-like decoration that looms from the ceiling like some maritime guardian. The space unfolds as a living collage—part beach shack, part dive bar sanctuary—where ocean-themed artwork competes with what appears to be a Klimt-inspired painting that would raise eyebrows at MoMA. Here, the aesthetic can best be described as "whatever washed ashore and looked interesting." Patrons perch on wooden barstools like sailors resting at port, nursing drinks served by bartenders who've likely heard every story the Atlantic has to offer. The bar's layout reveals itself as a labyrinth of wooden dividers and cramped corridors that create distinct social microclimates: the pool table zone with its verdant overhead lighting; the main bar area where elbows touch and conversations blend; and the coveted balcony spots that offer prime viewing of Duval's nightly human parade. "It's cozy, let's say," remarks a sunburned tourist, wedged between a wooden post and someone's enthusiastic gesticulation. For the ambulatorily challenged, Whistle Bar presents itself less as a destination and more as an Olympic event. The uneven wooden floors, narrow passages, and high seating create what accessibility advocates might generously call "a beautiful mess." Those requiring mobility assistance would be wise to arrive with a patient companion—or perhaps during the unlikely quiet of early afternoon. The surrounding ecosystem of Duval Street enhances the Whistle Bar experience. The nearby Garden of Eden provides an atmospheric soundtrack that bleeds through the walls, while The Bull—described by locals as the Whistle's "rowdy cousin"—stands ready for those seeking to escalate their evening. Together, they form what one bartender calls "the Duval debauchery triangle." Despite (or perhaps because of) its physical limitations and haphazard design elements, Whistle Bar maintains a devoted following. The unpretentious "come as you are" atmosphere attracts a democratic mix of tourists and locals. On any given night, you might find silver-haired retirees exchanging philosophical musings with tattooed twenty-somethings over surprisingly affordable drinks. As midnight approaches, the bar transforms further. The ceiling fans whirl ineffectively against the heat generated by dancing bodies, and conversations grow louder to compete with the ambient noise. Through it all, the bartenders maintain the steady rhythm of pouring, mixing, and sliding drinks across worn wooden surfaces that have absorbed decades of spilled stories. "If you don't like it, you're probably too uptight for Duval anyway," offers a regular, raising his glass in a toast to nothing in particular. For those seeking an Instagram-perfect setting with curated cocktails and mood lighting, look elsewhere. But for travelers hungry for authenticity—for a place where memories are made in real time rather than through filters—the Whistle Bar delivers with chaotic precision. Just remember to watch your step on the way out.

It's in a great location. The upper wraparound deck is a great place to people watch. The deck above that is downright scandalous. Enjoy!

This was our 3rd time being there and our 3rd time with rude bartenders with terrible service. We left $10 on a $55 dollar tab for 2 of the same basic drinks and a beer not some special drinks that would take skill or time. After writing the tip, the tall older bald bartender literally grabbed the bill from me circled the tip and said "20% is the minimum tip for average service" then walked off. We over tipped for the service we received in the first place as he was rude and sat on his phone while we waited at the bar for him. I really hope the owners or managers read this. You are losing business because of this person. I know for a fact the 4 of us sure won't be back. And we'll remove this place from the list of local recommendations that we give to thousands of our customers yearly. This was on 9.4.25 around 10pm on the second floor.

Didn't have a chance to have any food or drink. I walked into the bar I don't feel 10 people in the whole bar. About 5 sitting at the bar stools. That's including the couple that sat next to me after I sat down. The bartender walk past me three times looked at me but she was getting somebody else a drink and I waited patiently then she walks up to the couple that sat down after I sat down and started asking them for a drink and I said ma'am I was next he started yelling at me and I'm not joking she started yelling at me hey I am really busy watch your mouth. I did not cuss I never cuss. She was the rudest person I think I've ever met especially someone in the service industry. I immediately got up and walked out of the bar. I'm on vacation I do not need that kind of an attitude.

This is a good spot to go hang out and party. There three floors of fun. The rooftop bar features a "clothing optional" attire. There is definitely lots to see up there. Oh and please no cell phones or pictures! If that's too rowdy, then head down to the second floor where there's a balcony that overlooks the street below. It's an awesome spot for people watching.

Nothing fancy here, what you will find is reasonably priced drinks and friendly bartenders. Decent place to play a game of pool and enjoy cold beers. Great people watching from this 2nd story wrap around porch. One flight down will get you some good live entertainment. Or one flight up you'll find yourself over dressed if you miss the sign. Rooftop bar is clothing optional, don't get excited nothing you haven't seen before. 😁

Food was great. Ambiance was incredible. Amazing sunset view. Serviced was sub par. Waters’s checked on us twice only filled up waters once the whole dinner. They do have a lot of ground to cover but still. Dinner service needs actual service. Mosquitoes started getting us at the end of the night. Definitely would go back and sit at the bar for the sunset.

This place is amazing…. While it’s late September and not its busy season and they are in the midst of some great upgrades, we have felt pampered, relaxed and fed the best food and drinks one could ask for. The staff is friendly and helpful beyond words. The food has been great with an awesome variety of seafood. The rooms are spotless, beds comfy and towels divine . The private cabanas for guests with Igor as your attendant, just wonderful!!! If you need a relaxing getaway where you never have to leave , I highly recommend this place. We will be back!!!

I took my family (5) to Gilbert’s and rented a cabana on a rainy day to keep dry in between rain storms. I was immediately greeted by a beautiful, kind young lady who seemed eager to help & ensure we had a memorable time. When we got to the entrance of the cabanas Igor a tall, nice looking fella with beautiful eyes greeted us with a smile. He immediately made us feel warm and welcome. Every need was anticipated and exceedingly met. We drank and ate for hours with our friends and kids and it was great. A great experience until we decided to rent jet skis that is. The guy working it was being rude, making unnecessary comments. He made everyone in a group of 8 uncomfortable. I will never return there but as for the restaurant and service. Great time!!!!! Thanks Igor for ensuring we had a great time and accommodating last minute guests. We will be back to see him!!!! Igor is highly recommended!!!

Spending a few days…. And It’s been amazing! Guests have a private area with cabanas and service from bar including food service. What a treat. Our attendant Igor was so attentive to our needs!! Rooms are super clean and all employees have been so attentive as well. Continental breakfast a big plus!!!

While I didn't stay at the resort I did stop to eat there twice! The wings and cheese steak were delicious! The view was great including dolphins! A beautiful place I'd recommend to you.

Love that the Restaurant Bar is just 35 minutes away from Homestead Love the vibe the food has gotten overpriced and the below block for hotel guests only but I still like going there!!!! Don't love that they blocked the sunset view for us locals since months ago. The end of the area that was water front is now only for hotel guests. The local tradition of seeing the sunset after eating and drinking there was taken away from us.

Gilbert’s was an amazing location, our room was newly remodeled, and very clean. The staff and security were amazing and very helpful. Food was fantastic, the absolutely best part was watching the dolphins all day long. We also saw a manatee.

Absolute 11/10 experience. If you love karaoke, and love the energy of adults of all ages and backgrounds having a good time, then this is the place. Super safe and super supportive. Be aware that it's a small bar and cash only, but overall an excellent vibe and highly recommended for anyone who wants to get their sing on in Key West.

Went there for the Karaoke! Yes, it is a cash bar, and yes, they have an ATM on-site. Had this been any other karaoke bar, I would have sung, had a few drinks, and left. But it's a rainbow pride bar and my two straight couples had the most fun. The atmosphere was supportive, crazy, and talented. We laughed and laughed. Everybody in our group sang (if you can call it that) and loved every minute! A definite recommendation and much thanks to Deb, our bartender, and Jeff, our KJ.

Came in to sing Karaoke and had such a blast we stayed out till 2:30 AM!! All the singers were great and really seem to enjoyed themselves!!

Great local spot that welcomes every person. Had such a great time getting away from the crowds and connecting with genuine people. Couldn’t recommend a better spot for locals and tourists that don’t want to feel like tourists. Fun place at night with theme nights and karaoke fun. No food menu but they have some snacks like Doritos and Cheetos for purchase.

Cash Only! There is an ATM inside, but before you come in complaining in reviews that it's cash only.... here's your warning lol. Fun old school bar ... we had to kill time before the airport and this was perfect. Feels like an old school Jersey bar.

Cash only but what a great bar to go to

All about the atmosphere and people watching here. Karaoke nightly at 9:30pm. Dive bar, LGBTQ+ friendly and fun with friendly regulars and newbie visitors alike.

The bartender ( tall bald guy ) was rude to begin with. It was a quiet night , no customers at the bar when we walked in. He claimed he was pouring a double ( a splash of alcohol) then he said he saved us 16 dollars as he was putting his 2 $ tip in his tip jar after we paid 16$ for 2 glasses of soda! This joker needs to find another job. I’ve always had great service on the second floor until tonight. Tyler was great and the gal that works only Saturday (Laura?) was also great

Great spot to catch some live music with reasonably priced drinks. The second floor balcony has a great view of the street for people watching.

We went down to Key West for the Just a Few Friends tribute to Jimmy Buffett weekend. Stopped in The Bull for a drink and ended up hanging there multiple times over the 4 days. Debbie is great! She remembered something I drank a year ago, and I haven't been there since 2024. It's a great place for people watching, right on a busy corner. We'll be back!

Went twice on our trip - Tuesday 23rd Sept - great service really lovely bartender lady, great music the singer was amazing Wednesday 24th Sept - empty, female singer again was very good but the bar tender (Nick) rude and aggressive and extremely unwelcoming - we had one drink and left. Shame as Tuesday night was amazing and we spent hours here Real hit and miss bar

Great place to people watch!! Right on Duvall in the heart of the fun zone!! The open air atmosphere is great!! We had live music too!! Even got to enjoy a great cigar!!

Bartenders are very friendly and the crowds that come in vary depending on the tourism, but you are guaranteed to meet all sorts of folks wanting to listen to music, drink a little and just have a good time until closing time.

We had drinks only, and people watched. Great bartender with stories from her years on Key West. Fun solo entertainer playing lots of vintage rock & pop tunes. We didn't go up to Garden of Eden or Whistle Bar but enjoyed The Bull on a lazy afternoon...

Tuesday Night wings are very tasty and the sauce is made fresh and unique with a berry buffalo hot, Garlic Butter and Parmesan.

Not the best drinks I've ever had, but honestly, we had a great time regardless! They have pool tables and live bands sometimes.

When you go to the monkey, you know exactly what you're getting yourself into. Didn't eat but drank some beers at midnight on a Wednesday. Wasn't very busy at that time, but it gets wild.

Great locals bar in Marathon! Perfect for a quick lunch spot and even better for drinks at night! They have a liquor store next door aswell. Live music and great atmosphere for locals! Beer was priced right and shots were chilled and quick and great service!

Really enjoyable dive bar this Funky Monkey (Beastie Boys reference lol) !! Really cool locals and tourists hangin out. I had heard about it from the front desk person at the hotel where I was staying, so I called and it was weird that they didn't answer their phone. I'd suggest to management here to fix that link from Google to call here because they are likely losing potential business from people who call for information, confirm hours, etc. and may be taken aback by the no answer/weird recording you get. Glad I came to check it out despite this. It's the only place open late around here. Enjoyed the live entertainment past "Marathon Midnight" (which is 9PM lol) by Fred on solo guitar who's been playing here for over 40 years!! Wow! Only food served late is from Durty Dawgs food truck outside of the bar. I'm not sure of earlier menu options if any. It's probably decent, but didn't order anything since I had just eaten dinner. If you enjoy loveable dive bars, this is a really nice one with good vibes. Much nicer on the inside than the outside would lead you to believe. Check it out past Marathon Midnight ha ha!!

It's one of the only bars that close at 4 am. All other bars close at 9p.m. This place was fun. Karaoke on Monday night, which I tried for the first time. Lol This place is like Cheers. Everyone knows each other.

Very entertaining bar! Drinks took a bit long but it was pretty busy and there was only one bartender. There was over 50 people here when we showed up at midnight on a Monday night. What a fun and crazy experience!

Alvin, Alvin, Alvin, we love our bartender and gets the bar dancing with his incredible drinks and music selections! The queens are amazing and love the entertainment. Always a fun time on Saturdays and visit as often as we can!

Loved this place! We came back multiple times a day! We had so much fun with Alvin during the day. The music and the atmosphere was so much fun! Drinks were great too! Didn’t get many photos as we were having a great time.

It's always a blast here. The original bar where the famous Ru Paul diva came to fame. One of the BEST BARTENDERS ALVIN was such a BUCK OF FUN!! So nonchalant while you skip on over THE RAINBOW 🌈 and HAVE A FABULOUS TIME!

Alvin was the best bartender ever! He was fun. He was personable and he made a killer drink. He danced with me before I left, and I was very appreciative of that. Hands-down of all the bars I have visited on Duvall this place was the most welcoming fun and friendly place. It’s my absolute favorite and I will be back! when you visit, If Alvin is there, chat him up, you will not be disappointed. ❤️ Can’t say enough good things about this place

Great music tonight, but I have to be honest — the two male bartenders were a major letdown. Asking customers to pay cash only felt sketchy, and seeing them give free drinks to their girlfriends made it worse. It’s not about their sexuality — it’s about professionalism and integrity. If you’re running a quality establishment, hire staff who reflect that. People deserve to be treated fairly, and your business deserves better representation behind the bar.

So fun! The bartender was so fun and energetic. Strong drinks and drag shows at night.

our group had an awesome time here and we LOVED the bartender!! they were from out of the country and so good at their job!! we will for sure be back on our next trip down to the keys

My husband and I came here Friday night to listen to jazz and it was fun. The waitress was very attentive and the drink was yummy. The crowd was mostly an older crowd, my hubby and I are in our late 30s so we felt a little out of place, nevertheless, it was still nice. The live music was nice, would return.

Found this little gem when I was in Key West recently. This is truly a hidden treasure! The atmosphere is relaxing, intimate, and beautiful! The background music was gorgeous and chill, until the live jazz trio started. Fantastic talent! Had a wonderful time dancing, sipping delicious cocktails and mingling. This will be my go-to next time I'm in town! Highly recommended if you want a classy, relaxing place to spend the evening :-)

Wow, what a great find. Fantastic jazz. The musicians are very good. We walked in find a place to sit. Have a couple martinis and just sit back and relax. The band members are very knowledgeable of the music they play and I really enjoyed them, giving us informational facts of each musician song who wrote it and where it was written. The staff there the bartender and the server were excellent they don’t harass you. It’s very casual, sweet elegant. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy some great live jazz. My video of Joe Dallas

Little Room Jazz Club. Classy! Nice Vibe! Excellent Bartenders! Get away from the blaring, noisy bars on Duval. If you need to take it down a notch or two, the Little Room is where you want to be. Live music, great sound and stage. Nice food choices as well. Don’t change a thing Little Jazz Club!

This place was beautifully decorated paying attention to the smallest details. I went to enjoy some live music with my parents and it was beyond our expectations! This is the perfect place if you’re looking to have some drinks in a nice place with amazing live music!

Our favorite place in all of key west! Super chill hot spot for locals and tourists alike. The music is always amazing. Such a cool vibe! We spend so much of our time here. They also serve small bites and delicious espresso martinis which is my favorite!

We loved this jazz club! Very classy & elegant, and the musicians were top notch. We came late around 10pm and enjoyed the Carmen Rodriguez Trio so much that we returned for a second night. Carmen has a beautiful voice and is very charming.

A Tiny Bar with a Big Personality – The Smallest Bar in Key West, FL Tucked between two buildings on Duval Street, The Smallest Bar in Key West lives up to its name — and yet, it delivers a full-sized experience packed with charm, character, and good times. It’s not just a quirky novelty; it’s a genuinely fun place to stop for a drink and a laugh while exploring Old Town. There’s barely room for more than a few people inside (literally, it’s about the size of a walk-in closet), but that’s part of the fun. The bartender is usually just steps away from everyone, and the atmosphere is light, friendly, and inviting — the kind of place where you’ll end up chatting with strangers and maybe even making a few new friends. The drink menu is simple but solid. They’ve got all the essentials — ice-cold beers, margaritas, mojitos, and classic tropical cocktails served with a smile. It’s a great place for a quick refreshment while bar hopping down Duval or waiting for sunset at Mallory Square. There’s also something undeniably Key West about this place. It’s laid-back, a little offbeat, and full of character — a perfect reflection of the island’s quirky charm. It may be small in size, but it’s huge in personality.

The smallest bar is a must do if you are in Key West. They have the best Key Lime Pie shots in Key West. I have asked them for the secret ingredient and they said they couldn’t tell me lol. I will be back! Thanks!

Went to the smallest bar in Key West and had the most fabulous Keylime pie shots. Charlie makes the best shot in this bar is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is amazing and the conversation is exquisite. Thank you, Charlie.

The worlds smallest bar! First learning about this. Location on a documentary, we had to see it for ourselves! This tiny bar boasts Big crowds! Unique thrill seekers looking for "something different". Friendly servers and always cold drinks 🍻

Just a neat little bar to grab a drink. We stopped here while in Key West and got a drink. Bartender was friendly and I would recommend stopping in.

The smallest bar. This is a Key West must do. We stopped here on 10/17/25.

The smallest bar in Key West. Nice drinks and friendly service
