“Loved everything about this bar! Great music both nights we went. Really cool atmosphere with so much to look at. Delightfully chilly compared to other bars we went to where were uncomfortably warm.

“Came her for a quick drink while on vacation & the service was amazing. We ended up stopping by each day before and after our activities because of how wonderful the whole staff was. Loved the atmosphere as well. Definitely recommend! My only regret was not purchasing a shirt while there, because this was most definitely in our top 3.“

“Ok, so just for perspective, we are usually here during Fantasy Fest. Today, we came on a cruise ship. Visited our favorite place for a couple of drinks. SAVANAH WAS GREAT!!! Give her a raise.

“amazing performances by artists“

“Someone suggested this bar and to my surprise, I saw my first Live Drag Show.
I have enjoyed the British film Kinky Boots, back in 2005. The Gay Parade in Manhattan was jaw dropping. I have seen men dressed in gowns, wigs, makeup, jewelry... But must of all, they focus and willed themselves to feel and be absolutely femenine. The walk, the movement is jaw dropping.
801 Bourbon Bar has a cast of performers that express humor, strong emotions, and femenine sex appeal.

“Robusto Cigar Bar & Lounge is a hidden gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is perfect for relaxation, whether you're enjoying a premium Cuban cigar, savoring a hookah, or sipping on their selection of draft beer and wine. The indoor and outdoor lounges offer versatility, and the staff is knowledgeable and attentive. A definite must-visit for anyone looking for a five-star experience in cigar and lounge culture.“

(Delicious) but I've been very happy on Tacos Tuesdays, as well! Than you guys keep doing great job!“

“We love Hideaway Grill. It’s part of what makes Sigsbee a favorite spot for us. The menu is small but they also have frequently rotating specials. The tuna bowls are amazing and the burgers are great too.“

“Fantastic dive bar and great for football fans!“

“Laid back atmosphere. Plenty of seating near the bar or around the pools. Lots of trees and greenery. Food is provided by a food truck. The pork nachos were delicious and easily fed two people. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Wheelchair accessible. This place is part of the huge Hilton property that offers several hotels, pools, hot tub, etc.“

“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“

“While staying at the Hyatt Centric, my wife and I took full advantage of the bar, spa, and pool. There was a server walking the pool area taking orders, and she was very timely and on top of our orders.We loved our experience. I also loved the roosters, personally.On our first night from the Hyatt, we ordered room service from here, and the order was quick, accurate, and tasty. Also, they didn't skimp on the to-go wine! Awesome service.It was so good that we ate there again 2 days later and took in the views.“

“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!!“

“This is a joint, a bar, a saloon, a gin mill, locals kinda dive bar where folks get together, play pool , drink, catch up with one another open until 4 am. My kind of place. I'm a traveler (not tourist) visiting America at ground level in my RV. As I travel I enjoy really experiencing where I'm at . I do some culture things , well down here this trip by didn't get to go scuba diving because of sinus but I did finally manage to catch the red-headed stranger and after Willie Nelson did his thing I went looking for local flavor. And this is truly one of those. I've talked to I talked to locals there could have been coming for more than a couple of decades I think as it's been under different names. They allow smoking and indeed many of the denizens had one sticking out of their mouth at some point during the night. I met an absolutely Splendid wonderful Grand d a m e who introduced herself as Tootie and described herself as a barfly. Such an understatement even as wonderful as that word is she was one of the finest bar flies I've ever met. She was rail thin her main diet Aid being camel non filters . Wise , soulful , full of good cheer and humor the kind of lady that gives a certain middle class blue collar Elegance to a local Watering Hole. We started talking about her cigarettes which I hadn't seen in a while and she offered me one. I've been more than 20 years without smoking and I appreciated the offer but I declined. I don't personally partake anymore but I don't believe the government really belongs in the bedroom, The Gin Mill or our freaking pocketbooks. Life in America is about choices. You find what fits and you go there. I really felt right at home there even though I wasn't part of the crowd people were friendly within their own sphere of influence bar stool to Barstool and a few made casual inquiries which I answered politely with the joy being able to bask in another areas Public House. Man I really love that place. I forget the current name because I mispronounced the old name Shimp Daddy's (as shrimp) that Tootie spent two cigarettes trying to school my out of town ears to drop that R in there and then she told me some of the history and that's why I had gone there. God Bless America and every bar or other establishment like this all over. It's a great place to go in, sit down, shut up and listen to Key West. Good night tooty“

“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!“

“Fun place. Karaoke is a blast“

“A not-so hidden gem in the heart of Key West! The Cubano Daiquiri at Tropicado Mojito Bar is nothing short of perfection - stripped down to its purest form with just three ingredients that would make Hemingway himself proud. The expert craftsmanship shines through in every sip, with the perfect balance of Havana Club White Rum, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and Demerara syrup. The drink arrives in an elegant coupe glass, garnished simply with a lime wheel against a pristine, pale golden elixir.

While many Key West bars overcomplicate their cocktails, Tropicado at La Concha understands that true artistry lies in fresh simplicity. The bartenders here, particularly Jovana, German, and Irakli, demonstrate an exceptional understanding of classic cocktail craft. The attention to detail and precise measurements result in what is the finest daiquiri you’ll find in the Conch Republic.

The bar’s stylish setting, with its geometric-patterned tables and sophisticated ambiance, provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying these masterfully crafted cocktails. Skip the sugary frozen concoctions elsewhere - this is where you’ll find the real spirit of Key West’s cocktail heritage.“

“Great locals bar but makes everyone feel at home. I hung out w/Carson Daly there in 2004. Been a smoking bar for 50 years. Part of old Key West you don't see too much anymore. If you don't have a good time at BigGie's you're an old fogey. I'm an old fogey and I do.“

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

“We were flying out from Key West and decided to stop in for some food.They were closing in 30min but the server allowed us to come in anyway. We appreciated that greatly!!We all got the Cuban Sandwich. No complaints, it was so good and exactly what we needed before the plane!We each got a cocktail too.If we are ever back in the airport, we will definitely go back!Thank you for the hospitality!“

“Beautiful atmosphere and incredible food!!! Not only was the food amazing but there was enough for leftovers!“
