26 Best Cocktail Bars in Key West

“Bartender alone ! She made an Outstanding Old Fashion and grapefruit Martini.“

“Small place with a great vide. Jimmy's first gig was allegedly here. We didn't eat anything. Seems like that could be true. A little hard to find but just wind your way around the resort and you'll stumble across it. It doesn't open until the evening. A++ old school OG KW hangout.“

“Had a blast! You exceeded all of my expectations with your tequila selection last night. From your single barrel Fortaleza “Horse Play” to the G4 6 barrel and the other extensive selection. Killer atmosphere def sets you apart from everywhere else. The DJ out back was sick and we will be back.Keep up the good work!“

“Wonderful time. Great happy hour!“

“Perfect location on Duval! Easy walk to beach, bars, and restaurants. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Rooms have everything you need, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, beach chairs, beach towels, information on local attractions, I could go on and on… Oh and the fact that the rum bar is right downstairs is very convenient, maybe too convenient, lol! 🍹🥴“

“I love this bar! Very laid back, staff is awesome, and a great place to just hang out.“

“Here’s a Yelp-style review for Fat Tuesday in Key West:

Fun, lively spot with great energy and friendly staff right in the heart of Key West! Their frozen drinks are delicious and perfect for sipping while you stroll Duval Street. The premade shots are definitely pricey, but the convenience and fun vibe make it worth it plus they’re strong and flavorful. A great place to kick off your night, grab a drink, and soak in the party atmosphere! 🍹🎉“

“If you're looking for a standout meal in Key West, Lalita’s is an absolute must visit.

I recently had the grouper tacos and the fried calamari, and both were excellent - fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. It’s clear they take a lot of pride in the quality of their seafood.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is elevated by the incredible team. The staff is consistently friendly and very attentive, but a special shout-out has to go to the bartenders, Yara and Ashley. They really made the experience memorable with their top-tier service and welcoming energy.

Whether you're a local or just passing through, don't miss this spot!“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. It’s exceptional. We never have any problems with dietary restrictions and the service is 10/10“

“Stopped by Flama Cabana at Havana Cabana this past weekend and had such a great experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in the Keys…fun, relaxed, and full of personality.

Tosha was our bartender and she was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, high energy, and on point the entire time. Drinks came out quickly, were made perfectly, and she made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows.

I brought a friend who had never been before, and she’s already asking to go back—that says everything.

Between the vibe, the drinks, and the service, this place is definitely a gem. Highly recommend stopping in, especially if Tosha is behind the bar.“

“The food was excellent; my wife had the hog fish special and I had the chicken parmigiana. We split chocolate mousse for dessert. The service was excellent. Highly recommended!!“

“Oh my gosh! Best place ever! Amazing oysters and amazing buffalo shrimp. But most of all the service! Wells was our waitress and she was AMAZING!!! Thank you for making our experience wonderful!!!“

“The cutest Tiki Bar Restaurant of all the hotels in KW! Best drinks and snacks when hanging around the pool! Jennifer and Milly are absolute Queens ?? with making drinks! They can help you with anything you need! I even tried taking them home with me ??‍♀️ I can't wait to come back! ?“

“The four of us had a decent experience. A Ceasar Salad was great and a Mahi Mahi plate was great. However, two of us ordered the Paella that was described as to be shared with another person. We found that the Mahi Mahi and shrimp were overcooked in the dish. The clams were the size of dimes. The amount of the seafood to share in the paella was not enough for two people. The rice in the dish was plentiful and well seasoned. The restaurant was fine but I advise you to not order the paella. We felt it was just thrown together and not given adequate kitchen attention this dish deserves.“

“First Flight did not disappoint! We stopped in for an early lunch while in port for the day and enjoyed the beautiful and delightful outdoor courtyard. The fish tacos were fantastic The service was phenomenal - a huge shoutout to Gaspar and Chef Zach. Cannot say enough good things about this place and the whole environment! Would 100% absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Key West!“

“Best fresh seafood restaurant in Key West, or anywhere in the keys. Consistently fresh consistently good. Pleasant staff“
