Night scene:
Key west has 120 bars and restaurants, and is a ”drinking town with a tourist problem”.
Easy eating places:
• Rusty Anchor on stock island. For sure the best seafood you will get anywhere, they have there own fishing boats, so even the shrimp is pink and good, don’t miss this !!!!
• Paul’s favorite [pan fried yellow tail] B.O.’s Fish wagon on Caroline and williams st, looks like a rummage sale, but an unreal fish sandwich, or get the “fish fritter and fries” Buddy’s been here his whole life, so he knows what’s good.
• Mr Z’s cheese steaks, the best late night munchies you will find, on southard st , right before Duval The Café – 509 Southard, just off Duval street. This is a mostly vegetarian place but they have great noodle and rice dishes along with a selection of specials, the portions are enormous and most dishes are under $10.00, not only that but the food tastes fantastic and it has a funky atmosphere
• Kiteboarder/chef Paul Menta’s place The Grand Café – Duval street, opposite Hard Rock Café. Casual fine dining with very good food and a great selection of wines and martinis. The Grand has received numerous reviews recently about its food and atmosphere. And of course Paul is the chef there! Please remind us to give you a vip coupon for a big discount for being a kiteboarder.
Bars:
• Schooner Wharf – This is a great locals spot right on the water overlooking all the sailing boats. Great for a sundowner and usually has live music. Even the dogs get a seat in this bar, very unique.
• Green Parrot – This is a late evening locals bar, this is the true locals bar and some of the best live blues, ska and funk you will see, everyone’s dancing, its where the weird go pro! Don’t go till 9 or 10pm, that’s when its gets fun, way better than the tourist bars down town……these are pro’s since 1890!
• Southern Most House- outside bar and pool at the Atlantic end of Simonton, go for a swim.
• Lazy Gecko - boom boom….and people on the bar dancing, good club stuff, more of a duval locals place.
• Irish Kevin’s Bar- Duval street, if Jarred is playing , go see him, he will have you laughing as he sings and pisses everyone off[he is also a kiter!]
• Hoggs Breath salon- lower duval, good music and drinks, a fun place to hang out little.
