Kayla U.

I love Dante's Pool Bar! What an amazing spot to have fun with friends. I wish we had a Dante's where I lived. Food is good - we all loved the bang bang shrimp and the pool is big and clean. The DJ played fun music and I loved they have the water pong game floaties for us to play and enjoy our time. Such a fun spot to hang out with friends, have some delicious drinks and food and relax!

Great public pool area right down on the north side of Duvall Street. They've got pretty decent food and plenty of drinks to keep you hydrated. They are a little bit on the costly side, with their happy hour only being Monday through Friday... But it's a good time if you're there.

Blackened fish tacos

Amazing atmosphere with the pool and live music. Food was pretty good. Hamburger and fish meat were fresh. Fries were hand cut. Service was very friendly and attentive. Seating is picnic table style.

Red Snapper Oscar with asparagus

Food was excellent. Had the She crab soup and the daily catch, which was Red Snapper Oscar. Ordered a Cuzan rum breeze, which was good. Atmosphere was nice with views of the water. Service was horrible. Had to ask three times for my drink. Prices were reasonable.

A full day to relax, eat, drink and No Pool Fee to swim while you drink. Two tiki style full liquor bars. Order food from your pool side server. The menu is simple Key West style foods. The huge resort style pool has a rocky boulder backdrop. People come from other hotels to swim here right next to the yachts.

Best Miami Vice I've ever had! Super fun place to spend a day at the pool! Music, pool, great drinks, great service! What more could you ask for?

Ok, so this place is every stereotype you and I have of Key West and yet... it works? The drinks come in plastic cups, service is slow (I recommend going up to the bar rather than waiting for servers to come around the pool), and the food is mediocre at best. But it's really damn fun. The pool is kept at a perfect temperature, the crowd is fun, and the drinks aren't actually bad as far as frozen sugary drinks go. I didn't know if I'd like it after reading reviews, but we ended up visiting twice during our trip. Not many better ways to spend a sunny day in Key West.

Delicious healthful salad...

This place is a must if you want to have a Great time in Key West! DJ is rocking, the whole pool is dancing! 4 bachelorette party here now getting wild AF! Our mixologist Lexi was a Blast! She has a great attitude and kept the party rolling... This place is also pet friendly with dogs and the local cock's on the pool deck

Hook & Cook
DeAnna R.

We had a chartered fishing trip then came here as soon as we finished for them to cook some of our catch. They fried and blackened eight pieces of our fish. It was delicious! I wasn't a huge fan of the mixed drink, Caribbean Sea, it honestly tasted like cough syrup. If you're a party person, this place is for you. If, like us, we'd rather eat without all that hullabaloo, you may want to skip it. Food was great, didn't love the atmosphere I've found other restaurants that do the Hook & Cook that would probably be more up our alley.

The tuna tatami is delicious! It's sesame seared tuna, wasabi aioli, in a soy reduction with seaweed salad and red beat ginger. OMG! I got it with the fried cauliflower, from the specialty menu and they're good too but the Tuna Tataki from the starter menu is the bomb! That is all.

Is this place kids friendly or adults only?

When I was there, kids were around the pool along with adults- keep in mind - lots of smokers outside (which I wasn't a fan of)

Are they requiring mask poolside?

No, we sat at the bar and people around the pool were not wearing masks

Is this place open on New Years Day?

Sarabeth's was so amazing, we ended up going back twice in the same day…read more We started with breakfast, and it was absolutely outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It was one of those meals where you immediately know you picked the right place. Just as impressive was the staff--the service was impeccable, and everyone we interacted with was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we came back later for happy hour and dinner, and somehow it was just as impressive. The staff made us feel right at home again. We had amazing appetizers, great wine, and finished with the snapper entrée, which was absolutely delightful. I'm including a photo because it looked every bit as good as it tasted. It's rare to find a place that delivers this well across breakfast, happy hour, and dinner, but Sarabeth's did exactly that. Fantastic food, incredible service, and an overall experience that really stood out during our time in Key West

Real easy to walk right past it without a second thought. But step inside... and now you're in a whole different story. The walls, the ceiling, the corners every inch feels like it's been collected over time, layered with memorabilia and personality. And the wild part? It doesn't stay the same. The décor can shift with the mood, like the place is alive and just decides to reinvent itself whenever it feels like it. You go in thinking it's just a quick stop. Then the drinks start flowing, the room starts buzzing, and next thing you know you're laughing louder than you planned, talking longer than you expected. Sure, maybe there was a little drinking involved but truth be told, it's the atmosphere doing most of the heavy lifting. They've got events, music, off-the-wall fun mixed in with a laid-back crowd, and it all just works without trying too hard. The food holds its own too solid comfort stuff that hits right when you need it and the service keeps things moving smooth without missing a beat. It's one of those spots... looks like nothing on the outside, but inside it's a whole experience. Another one of those "hidden gems," yeah but this one earns it the hard way.

I stumbled across this spot earlier in the day after breakfast nearby and was intrigued by the sign…read moreadvertising Caribbean food and jerk chicken, one of my favorites. While I was checking it out, the bouncer at the bar next door told me it was worth a visit, which sealed the deal. Later that evening, I convinced my friends to go with me. They were expecting a full sit-down dinner, but this is more of a counter-service spot with 6-7 bar stools inside. The setup is simple: place your order at the counter, then either grab a stool or head to the bar next door, where they'll bring your food when it's ready. We chose the bar's patio, which gave us a clear view of the restaurant. It was reassuring to see other groups having their meals delivered over too--it felt like we had discovered the right local gem. The wait was about 25-30 minutes, but that only confirmed everything was being made fresh. And let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. Our group ordered two jerk chicken plates with plantains, mac n' cheese, and slaw; one oxtail with black beans, rice, and mac n' cheese; and one jerk burger with fries. Every single dish was a hit. The jerk chicken had that perfect smoky spice and heat from the scotch bonnet peppers, balanced with bold Caribbean flavors. The oxtail was tender and flavorful, and even the sides like mac n' cheese and plantains stood out. All in all, this was easily one of the best Caribbean meals I've had anywhere. A true must try when in Key West.
