“The Bartender’s and Staff are amazing! Food is consistently good, drinks as well as food is probably the most reasonably priced on the Island!

We stumbled upon after regular key west shenanigans not only was the kitchen open pretty late they made us a burger we've talked about every time planning our next trip. The owner, and staff are so personable, so friendly. We really make it a point to come back every time we go to the keys.“

“What a fantastic spot! It's well decorated, clean and upkept unlike a lot of places on the island. Bartender Sarah was amazing and answered all my questions.

“This place was phenomenal all around. The owner greeted us, management all greeted us, and staff was attentive all around. Lobster pizza and the street corn pizza were phenomenal. I loved the Pina colada key lime pie. It is by far the best key lime I have tried. The view, the chickens, all of it!!“

“Great experience during lunch. Go straight to the bar. It’s on the water. Beat the dinner crowd and enjoy a great view during a lunch visit. Much more relaxing! No reason to fight the crowds at night.“

“Alexandros took great care of us!! Even allowed us to stay well past closing and he was very knowledgeable about the cigars. This is a must see if you are into cigars or hookah (there are also cocktails and beverages) This will definitely be a regular spot for us when we visit again.“

“We did a walk through here on a recent visit to Key West. You have to have a DoD ID card to get onto the Naval Air Station, and then it's about a 2 mile drive from the main gate to get here. We were there in the late morning on a Friday, so the Navigator Bar was not open for business yet. Just to the west side of the bar are some shaded pavilions and a few picnic tables that overlook a small offshore island and and a tranquil sandy beach. You can safely swim here (no waves or rip currents), as well as rent kayaks, umbrellas and lawn chairs. It would be a great place to take your kids if they enjoy the water, snorkeling and exploring the little island just off the shoreline. You also get to watch fighter jets land on NAS Boca Chica's Runway 08 as they make their final approach turn, which is always cool for people like me who love to watch airplanes and enjoy the loud and proud sound of freedom (jet noise).“

“Quite a venue. Uniquely conceived concept. Must do.“

“Smoked Fish Dip is great! 🐟“

“Not a cigar bar, but it’s also pretty obvious it’s just a bar that sells cigars. Great outdoor veranda for smoking cigars is available.
The bartender is awesome and always engaging with guests.
Small bites a very good and appropriate for the Cuban themed atmosphere.“

“Wow! We had a wonderful time, people very friendly and kind. Great food, great drinks! We will be going back when we go back to Key West. We could not have asked for a better place to visit. Keep up the great work. Awesome place!“

“This is our first visit to Key West. We visited several bars, but by far Dons’ Place is our recommended drinking establishment of choice. Angus, Dougie, Dave, and each person that was in the bar was super friendly. It made our visit there memorable. Anytime we go to Key West Dons’ Place will be our go to.“

“The entertainer, John Solinski, was fantastic! Very talented and engaging with the audience. And it turns out he was from the same home town as my lifelong best friend! Small world keeps getting smaller! Drinks and service were well above average too! Highlight of my weekend in Key West!“

“I took my family to their first drag show at Aqua while visiting Key West, and genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! We absolutely LOVED the Queens and the entire performance from start to finish. Faith Michaels was THE most incredible hostess, making everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and truly setting the tone perfectly for the night. She was extremely engaging and interactive with the crowd, full of wit, looked absolutely beautiful in every performance, and undeniably had us laughing and smiling the entire time. Elle Taylor had us captivated by her beauty, raw emotion, passionate seduction, playfulness, and simply all of her Goddess. Jessica Deveraux had us grooving along with her infectious energy, strong stage presence, polished show(wo)manship, and theatre-like drama that had us mesmerized just as much. Every time I turned around to check on my sisters and parents, they were singing, dancing, laughing, and smiling from ear to ear. Even my aunt who was skeptical about seeing the show is insistent on going back again next time we visit!! Thank you to the stunning, fabulous Queens for welcoming us with open arms and for the hell of a time and show. Thank you for sharing your light and art with us, and making our trip complete. We can’t wait to visit y’all again. WE LOVE YOU JESSICA DEVERAUX, ELLE TAYLOR, AND FAITH MICHAELS!!

With love and more,
Dimples and Family

P.S. The bar / servers can get you as many single dollar bills as you need for tipping the Queens! Come with cash or get some change there to spoil them 👑💗!“

“Stephanie is absolutely phenomenal. She exudes personality and truly cares about her patrons. In this crazy world, I wish more people were like her. Cheers to her and the exceptional human being and bartender she is. The vibe at the bar is calm and relaxing which is a nice break from the hustle downtown.“

“We loved our bartender Kristin!! She made some incredible drinks, road rummer and piná colada are a must. See ya next time we visit. Great music and friendly staff.“

“Great band!!! I put in an unusual song request and the Durtbags nailed it!!!“

“It's my second time coming back to Key West and this place was the first place I went. I didn't stay at the hotel, just came for Rum Row. I was so happy to see Jamie was still there. He always has taken great care of me and other customers. The Rum Row Punch is so good. Highly recommend this place!“

“We spent a nice evening here during a recent stay at the Hyatt Centric. Service great, dockside, marina, bay view … beautiful place to hang out, right next to the hotel pool! Lots of blue lights… made many of the pics blue… LOL. Drinks were typical island bar, but very good! We had the fish tacos and key lime pie, both delicious! Highly recommend you stop here!“

“Best meatballs ever! Then my husband and I split a thin 12” pepperoni and mushroom - oh so good! Quaint and cozy! We shared a large table with other visitors and it made it festive. Service was wonderful. Beer and wine selection is generous. We stayed up the road and it was only a brief walk in the historic neighborhood. Highly recommend. My favorite meal while visiting Key West!“

“Can’t beat fresh squeezed juice and liquor! The 007 made by the coolest bartender Kristy! It’s a MUST HAVE. I’ve been drinking for …. Well, let’s just say I’ve had my share of good drinks. But nowhere else have I been offered a cocktail and the juice for it was squeezed in front of me! Come! Bring your friends!“

“Bring back this place. Best view in Key West! Great staff and food.“

“Great hotel, and accessible to the disabled - we neither sleep well nor eat well, the restaurant was well placed with four swimming pools.
Especially the famous waitress Kate who was very kind and very beautiful. If you go to Florida I recommend this heavenly hotel

Wheelchair accessibility: Some rooms have a lift so wheelchair accessible“
