General Horseplay ★ 4.3

General Horseplay mixes proper cocktails and pours craft beer on Caroline Street in Key West, with a hidden back bar opening nightly at 19:00.

Tip: The back bar opens at 19:00 and feels like a second, smaller venue; sister rooms include Mary Ellen's and The Roost.

The Rum Bar ★ 4.6

$$duval-streetDaily 11:00-23:00

The Rum Bar pours one of Key West's deepest rum lists on the Speakeasy Inn porch, an upper Duval house whose basement once hid Prohibition bottles.

Tip: Ask the bartender to build a three-pour flight by island; the porch rockers are the best seats on upper Duval.

801 Bourbon Bar ★ 4.5

$$duval-streetDaily 12:00-04:00

801 Bourbon Bar anchors upper Duval as Key West's best-known drag room, with the 801 Girls performing nightly above a bar that pours until 04:00.

Tip: The downstairs bar is the walk-in room and the cabaret upstairs is the show; go late, because the bar runs to 04:00 every night.

Aqua Bar & Nightclub ★ 4.4

$$duval-streetMon-Thu 14:00-00:00; Fri-Sat 14:00-02:00; Sun 14:00-00:00

Aqua runs Key West's drag programme across a Duval Street complex of bars that includes the Birdcage Cabaret, the Back Bar and 22&Co under one roof.

Tip: The complex is several rooms rather than one bar, so check which room the night's show is in before you queue at the front door.

Captain Tony's Saloon ★ 4.3

$duval-streetMon-Sat 10:00-02:00; Sun 10:30-01:00

Captain Tony's Saloon drinks inside an 1851 icehouse on Greene Street, the Key West bar that claims Hemingway's patronage and a tree through the roof.

Tip: The operator says the building was an icehouse and morgue and that Hemingway drank here; both bars on this block claim him, so enjoy the argument.

Chart Room Bar ★ 4.2

$$duval-streetDaily 17:00-00:00

The Chart Room hides inside the Pier House Resort at mile zero of Duval, the wood-panelled Key West bar once frequented by Jimmy Buffett and Mel Fisher.

Tip: The keywesttourist guide notes Buffett and treasure hunter Mel Fisher drank here; the room seats barely a dozen, so go at 17:00 sharp.
