NFT: Key West Area Suggestions

The Islamorada Beer Company brewery in Islamorada(my cousin is one of the founders, lunch or dinner at Snapper's Key Largo. Fishing charters check out Whale Harbor Marina or Bud N Mary's......Hope that helps. Enjoy!

There is a fishwagon, I think it is called B&0 great grouper sandwich.
There is also one on Duval street, great lobster rolls.
The butterfly museum is cool.
Rent a bike and ride around.
The sunset at the pier is fun.
Mel Fisher museum is good.
Hemingway house and Truman residence are interesting.
Beaches are very rocky.
If you like to drink all day it is a great place.
Enjoy!

If you like Key Lime Pie, I believe it is Kermits, they take a slice and freeze it.
It is made into a popsicle, then dipped in dark chocolate.

Garden of Eden

is touristy but an easy way to see a lot in a short amount of time.

Catching your own snapper / grouper around Islamorada and then getting it cooked a couple of different ways = heaven.

at least in my opinion. Been to Key West about 5 times and each time I have found different places to eat and all of them have been good. Some better than others. These three have all been really good. DJ clam shack on Duval st. A&B Lobster House on Front st. & B.O.'s Fish Wagon on Caroline st.

going to recommend The Porch but it apparently closed.

(after additional research), another place opened in the same space called Caroline's Other Side. The location is really the draw. It's a beautiful historic house with a huge front porch. On the corner of Duval and Caroline.

For live music. Hog’s Breath is another cool outdoor live music/bar venue worth checking out. It’s actually not much of a “beach” town as the beaches are nearly all man made and small, but it’s a hell of a party town.

on the Southbound. He's a BBI'er.

Green Parrot for great live music at night. Go climb the KW Lighthouse it's my favorite thing to do down there. Hemmingway House, Mel Fishers Treasure museum and the Conch train are all really good.

If you come through Marathon take the ferry to Pigeon Key. Private island where you get a boat ride, history tour and you can bring your snorkle stuff and see a ton of fish snorkeling off the island. Bring lunch and a cooler of drinks if you want and hang out.

I've been here 37 yrs. If you would like to email me at captrbh@gmail.com. I'd be glad to help in any way I can

My vote for the best suggestion!

Talk about timing!

can't go wrong with any of the companies. have used 3 different ones the three times I was there. Check out the adam and eve bar (I think that's what it's called) it's the third level of a bar, clothing optional and body painting. just walk around and def get some conch fritters. DON'T go to MARGARITAVILLE!

Lol, well played.

Michael's and Santiago's Bodega. Try to get a table on the back patio @Michael's.

Appreciate most of the suggestions.
Have a great night.

Two Friends Patio Restaurant is a great place for breakfast. Really good bloody mary's and great omelets, Stella's hashbrowns, oh yes. On the corner of Ann and Front St.

At night, I love Hog's Breath for live music.

You have to go to Captain Tony's and have a whiskey where Ernest Hemingway (and Captain Tony) as well as a lot of other famous bastids drank.

For an upscale, more elegant but not too pretentious dinner, go to Bagatelle's at 115 Duval St. Great place for a romantic dinner on the balcony, really great seafood. Reservations are a must.

Avoid: Schooner Wharf Bar unless you're just having a beer waiting to get on a boat.

Get on the water. They have sunset cruises, whatever. Just get out on the water. You're in Key West, for the love. Enjoy some boat time and relaxation. Have a blast and give us a report of some highlights after you get back.

Go to Key West Rum Distillery. I'm not a huge rum drinker, I prefer Bourbon, but they actually have a rum for everyone, some of the best I've had. Great sipping rums, some that even have a lot of whiskey character.

Also, if you like cigars, pop in to Rodriguez Cigars and let them help you get a really nice stick or 5.
