“Wonderful key west bar!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience! From start to finish, everything was exceptional!

The drinks were perfectly crafted and delicious, and the service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Every detail was spot-on, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great service, and a great atmosphere!“

“laid back lots of fun all levels“

“The very best noodle bar in Key West“

“Top level customer service and a taste that has to be tasted. As a foodie from New Orleans I tend to have higher expectations in service and taste and SO7 excels in every category. I’ve only been able to eat at around 30 or so restaurants in the few months I’ve lived here and SO7 has topped the all. Chef paul killing it behind the flames and the guys up front taking care of service from top to bottom. The crème de la crème in my book is the refreshing central AC. Nobody likes sweat dripping into your food after working all day and good AC is hard to come by in the lower keys. It’s my go to after work dinner and drinks. Pleasant experience all around.“

“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! 🍹🥴“

“Great stop in Key West..new fave! Great food and staff.“

“Absolutely THE BEST Pina Coladas on the island, bar none!!!! Visit this bar! Cool staff and they care that you’re there!!!“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff“

“Delicious food and great service! get.the conch fritters and mahi bites. best fritters we had on our trip!“

“The level of sophistication in taking your money for little or no service is extraordinary. I was totally impressed by their extraordinary lack of anything close to costumers service and still being busy . A feat never in my lifetime have I’ve seen , bravo you have to be proud .“

“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! Also, Sun Loungers are only $15 bucks for the entire day. The Beach is small but it’s always clean and a good vibe. Great mix of Locals and Tourists! Highly recommend for a relaxing day out 🙌“

“Best dive bar in the lower keys!“

“We stopped in today to have a beer and I’m so happy we did! It was our first stop and the best beer I had the whole time while in Key West. The bartender was super friendly! I’m happy we stopped in.“

“Amazing 🤩 stop by for food and amazing drinks 🍺“

“My husband and I walked past Fat Tuesday a few different times while we were in Key West, and honestly I wish we would’ve stopped in sooner! The music from the DJ outside was always great and really helped set the fun vacation vibe, even though it surprisingly wasn’t super busy when we went.

I absolutely love frozen drinks, so one night we decided to finally go in, and it ended up being one of our favorite stops of the trip. I got the Bushwacker frozen drink, which sounded kind of strange at first, but it literally tasted like a chocolate Frosty from Wendy’s — absolutely amazing. 10/10 highly recommend trying it!

The bartender was a super cute young blonde girl who was incredibly knowledgeable and honest about the drinks, which I really appreciated. I asked about a banana-flavored drink and she straight up told me they don’t even carry it anymore because it was so bad 😂 That honesty honestly made me trust her recommendations even more, and she definitely pointed us in the right direction.

They also had really cute Key West themed T-shirts about drinking, vacationing, and not wanting to go back home, and I ended up buying two in the prettiest pastel colors.

Overall, such a fun stop with amazing drinks, good music, and great service. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Key West!“

“Do not pass up going into this bar. #1 it's air conditioned. #2, the Key Lime shots are THE BEST on the island! They rim the glasses with graham crackers and they are fabulous. We stop in every year for at least 2. The music is always OUTSTANDING here and the service is excellent. We love sitting at the bar and listening to the live music. This bar is always clean and has nice bathrooms. They do sell merch, so grab a t-shirt before you leave. We always recommend The Tiki House to friends traveling to Key West all the time and even those we chat with on the plane who have never visited. We LOVE IT!“

“Best hidden gem in KW.“

“Had a great time at Captain Tony’s Saloon in Key West. Great music and bartenders. This is our second time coming to Key West and had to make sure we stopped here again. Shout out to our bartender-Keith for keeping the drinks coming.“

“Wheelies the website I miss it so much But“

“They had smoothie sour 🍺 I had been looking for since I got here six days ago. I had went everywhere looking. Made my day, my vacation! Thanks a million!!!!“

“Loved our new bartender! Personality Plus! The couple from Minnesota really appreciate the time we spent there Thursday, you movie guru! Mike & Debbie“

“Love it there!!! Great place great service“

“We are all locals and love this program!!! We use it every week all year! Everyone should have this.“

“Alvin is truly the heart and soul of Duval Street. Every time we visit Key West, seeing him is an absolute must. He is always happy, kind, fun, entertaining, and simply a joy to be around. His energy lights up the whole place and makes every visit unforgettable.

Alvin has become a staple of our Key West trips and honestly makes our vacation feel complete. We always look forward to stopping in to see him every time we’re in town. Thank you, Alvin, for always making us feel welcome and giving us such amazing memories. Key West wouldn’t be the same without you!“

“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.“

“Just had lunch at Louie’s last week. Every visit to Key West we make a reservation. Been going there for years. Good food.. beautiful view. At night, very romantic“

“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!“

“Amazing staff, incredible cigars, and top-notch service — this place has it all! Love the drink selection (beer, wine, cocktails) and the interior is so clean and comfortable. One of the best cigar bars I've been to. Will definitely be back!“

“Good times, nice atmosphere friendly people easy to speak to. Good drinks great prices!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Beautiful place great staff“

“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!!“

“Smoked Fish Dip is great! 🐟“

“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.“

“A Getaway to key west Hubby Wifey Time Celebrated our 12 year anniversary ❤️ Absolutely loved this place. Everything was delicious!! Menu was naughty and fun 🤩 Loved it!! Loved the French Kiss 💋 and the Fourgasm❤️“

“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.“

“This place is incredible!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Stayed at the hotel so had a different nightcap at the bar every night. Hands down my favorite bar in Key West. Best Mojito I've ever had! Their signature Mojito was my favorite (also tried the Blackberry & Mango). The Papa's Old Fashioned was also fantastic! Bartenders were awesome as well!“

“Great place for drinks. 2 for 1 margaritas were amazing!“
