mrsfuzzmo Posted November 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Our last trip to KW was for Fantasy Fest a couple of years ago (2009 maybe?). We've been there a few times on cruises as well, but will only have a few hours on this cruise stop in Dec. (7:30 am - 1:30 pm .....booo). I know that I want to hit the world's smallest bar, as in my 4 trips there including a week for FF I have missed it everytime! Weird. I'm sure we've walked past it, but definitely want to stop in this time! I'm traveling with two gals that haven't been there (well, one was for a short day but was preggo at the time and just drove around on a trip to the Keys) and we want to hit the highlights. Not interested in Smost Point or Hemmingways. We like the bar scene and little out of the way dives. Blue Heaven for breakfast to fill our bellies, Capt. Tony's for sure, Smallest Bar for sure, BOs Fishwagon for lunch before heading back to the ship. I'm sure we'll stop in to Sloppy Joe's just so they can say they were there, same with Hogsbreath, but are there any other little cool new "dive" places we should search out? Love Irish Kevin's so will probably stop there for a bit. I saw something recently that appeared to be down the street from Capt,. Tony's possibly that looked like it had an airplane theme? Like an old hangar or something?? Can't remember. Anyother new "don't miss places"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted November 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We are with you....been to Key West numerous times (and if anyone HASN'T been there for Fantasy Fest - you've really missed a par-tay!) We plan to just chill, walk around a bit. We LOVE Key West, but for a day, it's more of a 'meh' stop for us, especially since we won't be there to see the activities of Mallory Square!

It is a little place on Petronia Street. Also try Ricks Bar on Duval Street Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted November 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2013 If craft beers are your thing, there is a World of Beers now at 511 Greene Street. Note, this is not unique to Key West. There are WOBs in other cities. WOB is known for its huge selection of craft beers made by small breweries. Some are seasonal, such as pumpkin beers that are sold for very short periods of time. In fact, the pumpkin brews may already be gone for the year.

bhopal21 Posted November 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2013 There is a new restaurant at the former site of Colombia Grace called Firefly http://www.fireflykeywest.com that is getting very good reviews. We are planning on checking it out at lunch today. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeofus Posted November 23, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Agave Tequila Bar 308 Front Street Every tequila you can imagine is there and the drinks are all made with fresh ingredients. I can't recall the name of the drink I had, but it was a margarita with a grapefruit base. Sooo refreshing and served with a mini orchid. They have a limited menu, but we have eaten there twice and had delicious food both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony's possibly that looked like it had an airplane theme? Like an old hangar or something?? Can't remember. Anyother new "don't miss places"? Just guessing. Could you mean Kelly's which was the original office of Pan American Airlines when they used to fly to Cuba? It has a restaurant in a garden and a bar inside. The old Pan American sign is still out front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted November 27, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2013 You didn't mention Schooner Wharf Bar. A bit of old Key West, good location on the old waterfront. It's always on my list of recommendations to first time visitors. Not so much for the bar but the location, it's a nice walk along the waterfront in either direction.

We love it there, great atmosphere, Michael McCleod playing and singing, charter boats coming in with their catch's, tons of fun. Drinks are good, food is a bit lacking, IMHO.

mrsfuzzmo Posted November 29, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Ahhh, found it. Smokin Tuna Saloon. I know I haven't been there and it looks fun. Anyone have any opinions on this one? Don't know why I thought it had an airplane theme.....but whatever, this is the one I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Cat Posted December 8, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Going back to KW for the first time in 4 years. We are there from like 10am to 6pm. Conch Republic will be on our list of course as well as Captain Tonys. Is Cowboy Bills and their $1 PBRs still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayoKelly Posted December 27, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Be sure to check out the new flamingos at the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. Also, the Key West Aquarium has some new exhibits and a new stingray petting exhibit, Stingray Bay. Lots of fun!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
