🍹 What Time Do the Bars Close? (You're Asking the Wrong Question πŸ˜„)


Hey Reader,

It's Throwback Tuesday, and today we're answering one of the questions I get all the time...

"What time do the bars close in Key West?" 🍹

Short answer?

Most bars call it a night around 2:00 a.m., while a handful of the legendary spots keep the party going until 3:00 or even 4:00 a.m.

πŸ‘‰ Check out the full guide here​

But honestly...

I think you're asking the wrong question. πŸ˜„

My Best Key West Nightlife Tip

Don't try to do everything in one night.

I know... it's tempting.

Sloppy Joe's.
Captain Tony's.
Green Parrot.
A sunset celebration.
Live music.
One more drink...

Before you know it, it's 2:30 in the morning and you've slept through the snorkeling trip you booked months ago. (Don't ask me how I know... πŸ˜‚)

My favorite Key West evenings usually look something like this:

πŸŒ… Sunset

🍀 Happy hour

🎢 A little live music

🍹 One or two favorite bars

😴 Home before I need three Cuban coffees to function the next morning.

Because here's the thing...

Key West will still be there tomorrow.

And tomorrow has another sunset.

Quick Question

Are you a:

πŸŒ™ "Let's close the bars!" person?

🍹 "One or two drinks and I'm happy." person?

🎢 "Wherever the live music takes me." person?

Hit reply and let me know! There are no wrong answers... although my knees definitely vote differently than they did twenty years ago. πŸ˜„

Until next Tuesday, have fun, stay safe, drink responsibly, and always keep it Key West-y. 🌴🍹

Cheers,

Michele
