Agreed with other visitors that this place has the best beer selection in Key West, even compared to the local Waterfront Brewery taproom just down the street. Draft beer list updated every few days - you can come here multiple days on a weeklong trip and have different pours each time.

Cold AC, great drink selection and fun banter with the staff! We loved hanging out with Johnny for the afternoon and swapping stories. They had the largest NA menu I’ve found in Key West with great NA beer and other botanical choices. We can’t wait to visit again!

I am going to the Bearded Lady so much more now because of Dan and Lyndi's dumb reviews!Dan and Lyndi,-You were at fault-You are dumb tourists-Your lengthy reviews could have been summed up as "We made a mistake and feel embarrassed"The Bearded Lady is an excellent place to get out of the heat, and have a pint while conversing with fascinating strangers.Dan and Lyndi, you are not fascinatingYa basic

My wife and I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon in The Bearded Lady, Southard Street, Key West.Great service, great beers, and lots of fun conversations with “locals”. Our first time, but we’ll be back.Great to look at the server’s puppies (see my photograph). Great job, Johnny!

This place is low key a gem in Key West. It’s just off Duval, so it’s out of all the riff raff. They have a pretty good selection of beer as well.I stopped here 2 times while in Key West. 1st time was later at night and the bartender brought in his Golden Retriever dog. Don’t remember the bartenders name but he was super nice. Finn, the dog was great, made me miss my dogs back home.2nd time I came in, we had another great bartender. We came in mid afternoon for a few more beers.The vibe is really laid back here which is a nice change of pace from the rest of Key West. The service again, was great and the beers are relatively cheap. I’m definitely coming back.

I had a rather frustrating personal encounter with an employee here, though I was not a customer- just passing by. My boyfriend and I were riding scooters down a one way in the wrong direction, this was clearly my fault and he had tried to stop me but he was behind me so I could not hear him. I had already stopped and turned around after traffic just in time to witness your employee come running out of rage to yell at my boyfriend. He called him “a stupid tourist” and a “douchebag” and much more to which my boyfriend told him to go back inside. Those insults don’t sound like this employee is “concerned for our safety”.
I parked and went inside this establishment with the objective of finding out why it was necessary to display that nasty behavior, especially in front of 3 customers he had inside. Before I spoke one word, he told me “you’re not welcome here”. Really?
Because I upset him evidently SO much by making a mistake I am almost positive every tourist makes once or twice while visiting.
It would have been completely different story if he had come out and warned us nicely that we were going the wrong direction, but that is not what happened. Had he done that we would have gone inside and bought a beer! He proceeded to yell at me inside while I tried to calmly speak to him, he told me he was going to call the cops! I told him to please do so. He kept saying over and over “you know what you did was wrong” as if someone would purposefully ride down a one way in the wrong direction. It’s a simple mistake.
He was very condescending towards me & almost incapable of holding a calm and mature conversation.
After getting no where with him I proceeded to leave. I went outside to take a picture of this establishment to make sure I, or any of my friends/ family who often visit key west do not spend their hard earned money there in the future. He came back outside and said “you’re ugly” then ran back in because he had nothing else to say. Pointless. Must’ve been upset I was taking a picture.
If the owner of this bar reads this, you either received a very shortened and skewed version of this story from your employee OR you condone this kind of behavior in your establishment. I’m sure this is a great bar with good food and spirits, but unfortunately in today’s world that’s not enough.
Customer service will make or break you.

To anyone else who chooses to enter this establishment, I hope you have a different experience than I did and are treated with kindness and compassion as you should be.
