If you need to hit a place to hang out and eat or watch games... it's here... This place is HUGE... pool tables, a bit of outside seats but open air, small stage but entertainment most nights. Oh , and a shit ton of TVs. The menu has hints of the Chesapeake and splashes of Old Bay for us visiting MDers. The staff is great... and I'm one of those that rates a place by its restrooms too... Immaculate. Pet friendly as well Thank you Merry Christmas read more

Friendly, fast service at fantastic prices.... yes please! We stopped in for a quick bite before a snorkel trip and it was a great experience. Lots of variety on the beers and the fried appetizer sampler we ordered was definitely made fresh! It consisted of onion rings, conch fritters and coconut shrimp, each with its own dipping sauce. We ordered it specifically for the conch fritters, which were delicious, but the real standout was the coconut shrimp. The tab for three beers and the tower, plus a nice tip, was $30, so it was a great bargain, AND we made our snorkel trip just in time! read more

This is not the sandbar anymore, it was sold last year. Service is not what it used to be. I said at the bar for 5 or 10 minutes then just left so sorry I can't give a food review but I don't think I'll be going back read more

I am a Key West local. and I've never really had any issues with this bar. The food is pretty shitty. But if you're local the drinks are sort of cheap. I get that today was Super Bowl Sunday. I tried 10 times to order some food from the waitress. She refused to come over to the table or take an order. This is extremely disappointing and besides the fact that I am hungry. But I don't know why she just wouldn't come to the table. We had to go to the bar to order our drinks. And couldn't get food. Unless V is working I will never come back to Sandbar. If I could give them zero stars I would. The people that work there do not care that you're there to eat or watch a game or anything else they will ignore you. I know they ignored us for two hours. Before I got a cup of water. read more

Pickles Pub - Taps - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

Stellar vibes with a stellar crowd. Not crowded at all and a amazing weight staff. Would definitely come back my next trip down to the keys. Shout out to the waiter Everett for taking care of a spontaneous party of 19 and being nothing short of spectacular. read more

I've been going to the sandbar in cocoa beach for the past 9 years. I had to check out the Key West version. only had a happy hour Gin and tonic. It was $3 and they didn't skimp on the gin. This place was packed. I was instantly greeted and had my drink within a minute. The bar tender was tending EVERYONE with a smile. If you're KW bar hopping I def recommend getting a drink here. Music is good. Not too loud and my bartender was a Royal doll with a great personality. read more

Ordered a few things delivered as a local does. Ordered many times without issue. Ordered the chicken sandwich with the pineapple bacon and Swiss. Bird of paradise sandwich I believe. I got a chicken sandwich with American. Who the f would order that in the first place??? Way to screw this up. read more

Pickles Pub - Supposed to be the bird of paradise sandwich with teriyaki chicken, pineapple, bacon and Swiss cheese. I don't know wtf this is. - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

This laid back surfy, reggae-rock playing bar has borderline divey feel with great food and good drink specials. This is a second location for the Sandbar up in Cocoa Beach, FL, which I've been to many, many times. Great music always playing and fun bartenders. Bumper stickers line the walls with band names and sports team memorabilia. This location has no outside seating, but does have a small stage inside. There are two bars and lots of high top seating. Definitely try the tacos- any variety. My favorite is blackened shrimp. The wings are great, too! read more

Dark haired Mike is the best!!!!! So much fun and tasty pickle margarita! Came here for a bachelorette trip and had so much fun!

We went to probably 20+ bars on our trip to key west and this was the best bar we went to be far. Talia and JC make amazing drinks are are great to talk to. Couldn't recommend enough read more

Oof..... swung in here for some snacks and wished that I had gone to another spot instead. I forgot to take a photo but, my "jalapeño poppers" had some kind of strange barbecue sauce on them and an unmelted slice of cheese laid across them........ Definitely not what you expect when you order jalapeño poppers, and definitely not tasty. I *hate* to waste food but I couldn't manage to finish all of them, and there were only 3. My boyfriend's chicken tenders and fries were pretty good, and the service was okay. There was no toilet paper whatsoever available in the women's bathroom, making an already unpleasant experience even more unpleasant. Next time, I will definitely opt for a different bar/grill in the area. read more

No line itemized checks. Which is a scam. Bad pours. One star cause I have no choice let Yelp review policy. Plenty of tvs. Bathroom is a bit outdated, good luck there. read more

So good. Had a virgin Bloody Mary and it was incredible. Probably the best I've ever had. The hot sauce they offer (and sell) was amazing. I recommend skipping the salsa (not my favorite) and using the jalapeño sauce for your chips. Next level. The service was also awesome. No wait. Informative. On top of it and kind. Lauren was our server. We had the tacos with the catch of the day and shrimp tacos. Amazing. Really enjoyed every part of this. Highly recommend. ALSO EDIT their music was greasy. Texas country. read more

Wasn't first choice to come here but they open late. Had their stone crab chowder and coconut shrimp. Food is bleh and would not come back. The food here is one of the most disappointing "restaurant" we've been to. Probably decent when your drunk but on it's own it's a pass. read more

This is, without a doubt, the worst restaurant on the island. The first time we tried it the girl was rude and kept rolling her eyes. We figured they just opened, so we would try again in a year or two. We decided to venture back in yesterday and it seems to have gotten even worse. There was extremely loud techno music in the middle of the afternoon and the bartender acted like we were the worst thing that had ever happened to him. He spoke in a grunt and we basically had to beg for menus. The rest of the staff was standing within ear shot talking about very inappropriate things and vaping. We ended up cashing out and leaving, so I can't speak to the food. We went to another place on the island and they agreed that Pickles is the worst and that someone who works there actually said "we don't need locals to support our business". So, what is it? Are you going to be rude to the tourists, or rude to the locals? You can't have both! We will definitely never be back on one of our 5 trips down a year. 0/10. read more

No matter what your game, Sand Bar has it. Multiple times, in many rooms... We were out of town on business and had an extra day in the Keys to muck about. Needing to catch the Seahawks game, we stumbled into the Sand Bar...at first it looked like any spots with the Hawks on was already occupied by non-Hawk fans, but we were able to score two seats at the very end (thankfully the nicely air-conditioned end) of the bar! The bar staff was VERY attentive and I discovered a new hot sauce I can't live without...wings were terrific and when the first batch arrived cold and not spicy at all, they made an entire second batch perfectly cooked and spicy! My husband was able to find a beer he liked and the Chardonnay was completely acceptable (hey, I didn't expect Sonoma Cutrer at a sports bar!) and reasonably priced. We ended up connecting with some other Hawks fans and enjoyed the entire game in great company and were able to catch a few other games as well. Great stop for these crazy Hawks fans! read more

Sports Grill....HA!!!... SCORE: LESS THAN ZERO Disclaimer: No, Im not a "Karen"- I've worked years in the service industry before my current profession. Nothing here reflects on the service staff. We've been to this bar for years- something changed. While arriving early to watch the 730 pm OSU/Penn State game 10/30/21 around 645-7pm (yes-during Fantasy Fest), we joined other OSU fans in the front bar. Apparently, there was another private party scheduled for 10pm (Naughty Nurse/Doctors). Nothing mentioned to us when sitting down, but an hour later, literally a riot and anarchy ensued with the management and the promotional people telling us we had to move by 930 for a private party. People were ready to walk out on their bills. WHO DOES THIS? Heres some thoughts: 1. You pissed off a group of about 25 + people eat/drinking and watching the game. Statistics show those 25+ people will tell 10 friend themselves even without any social media. 2. One waitress walked out, another apologized and our waitress was about ready to as well. OUR waitress was visibly upset and vocal about the entire situation. I know none of those who were told to "move" will be back. 3. When approaching the Manager, he wasn't apologetic, just basically told us too bad and we needed to move. No apology, no effort. You ruined a standing tradition to go to the Sandbar to watch sports in Key West. If you're going to want more $$ $$$$ then close your bar to the private party or let your patrons know before they sit down what is happening. The party could have been planned in another room where both things could have happened as well. Poor planning, poor execution, NOT conducive to sports fan. We WON'T be back. read more

Stopped in here to have a drink and catch a preseason nfl game. When we sat down some super drunk lady threw a fit and was stumbling everywhere and the staff were so quick to respond and handle the situation. The service was impeccable and drinks were made well. Special shout-out to the bartender, Rich. We will absolutely be going here more often, especially in light of how well they treat their locals. read more

Nice atmosphere. Cool peeps. Great snacks . Get your visit on people. Service second to none

Excellent friendly bar tender! Good service excellent live music! Great menu selections and prices! Definitely worth it and we'll be back!

Before I get started, let me first point out that we came to this bar very late after bouncing around Key West all day. Everything else was closing and this is one of the last places who's kitchen was still open. Also, my four star rating is given within the context of "late night dive bar" and not as compared to an actual "fancy" restaurant. Having said that, it was great and really hit the spot. I had the bone-in wings (which is typically my red-eye go to in these situations). The hot sauce I chose is called "thermo-nuclear" but it really wasn't too hot at all. If you've ever been to a Buffalo Wild Wings this is probably somewhere between their "hot" and "wild." Still though, the wings were really, really, really good. I know it sounds stupid, but I consider myself somewhat of a wing snob and these were great. My wife had Mac and Cheese and she really liked it as well. The bartender told me the manager in charge of putting up the different college sports flags has vowed to not include Michigan or Alabama so don't waste your time looking for them (sounds sort of petty if you ask me. It's a sports bar for Pete's sake, grow up). But I won't hold that against the rest of the bar. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was great and the food was really good. The bottom line: this place has good food and friendly staff. If you're out on the hunt for good bar food, especially when most every other kitchen is closed, this is a great choice. read more

Seriously amazing wait staff. But also lost 10 years of hearing during the Super Bowl. How fucking ridiculous!!! I am not at a concert and "management" though asked wouldn't turn the volume to a level where it was audible. Go for the staff. Leave because of the management. Great business plans folks. read more

Pickles Pub - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

Came by to watch march madness ..Food and drinks both came out timely. The issue was our waiter who couldn't have been more obvious that he didn't want to be there, let alone wait on us. Dined 8PM on 3//16. Previous experiences here on several past occasions were great. read more

Great place to watch soccer and all sports. . Tons of TVs. GM and staff are amazing!!!

Claim "best damn chicken wings". False. You can't make a claim like that and bring out sad miniature wings. Pic below. The "hot" sauce was a bowl of grease and not even hot. Would not recommend. Draft beer is good read more

Another Yelp recommendation. I came in before sundown; before the Fantasy Fest crowd came flooding in. The menu had very little that interested me. I chose the fish taco, since I decided to eat the seafood while in Florida. But the tortillas were raw and, absorbing the liquids of the contents, broke while I was eating them. I had to finish them off with a fork. The Key Lime Cider is good accompaniment for seafood. By sundown, costumed revelers were filing in, whooping it up. I took my leave to join the madness in the streets. read more

Morgan and Sarah took great care of us and a great bar to watch march madness! Wings were awesome can highly recommend!

Absolutely love taco Tuesday their tacos are wonderful they also have a deal with a few tacos some rice and beans included the tacos are really good just ask for some extra salsa if you like it when you give your order sometimes it's a little difficult to get them to come back They do have some live music the place is huge they also have a wing Wednesday read more

Outstanding Service! We stopped in for a couple drinks and to watch the NCAA tournament...our bartender, David, was awesome...super quick, personable and very accommodating. In fact, each staff member we met was met was great. Everyone was so friendly, so helpful. This was our first visit, but will definitely become one of our stop ins each time we visit Key West. read more

Great sports bar. Plenty of tvs to watch wild card weekend. I like the Joey style fried/chargrilled wings. Excellent contrast of flavors. The servers were also attentive and friendly checking in on us, keeping us 'hydrated' and letting us hang as we took in the game. Come check it out when your day drinking and appointment tv viewing collide. read more

While vacationing, I watched my NFL team play on a Sunday. Great experience! They have all the games with each tv tagged with the game you're interested in. Be sure to get there early to get a seat. Preferably 12:00 for 1:00 games. Sandbar fills up fast. Food is good and service is very good. read more

Stopped in for dinner and drinks. We enjoyed the Pizza Party Fridays and had a Taco pie and Pepperoni pie. They also had live music while we were there. read more

If your looking for some serious late night bar food, this is the place, complete with nachos, tacos and other bar related food like deep fried everything. This place sits across the street from Sloppy Joe's and is situated in the right area, smack dab in the middle of the action of Duval Street. Decent, fast service and prices, the place hits the spot if you roll out of the bars at midnight. During the day I cannot speak of but after hours this place does it right. read more

This place was so creepy. Went on a random Wednesday night. College spring breakers (girls)- pls be careful. Staff had mal-intentions and the whole show was super weird. read more

Worst ever! Took the waitress 5 full minutes to understand my friend wanted one taco. Then delivered our food which guess what..... she got 3 tacos!! And two were rock hard fish. More like drumsticks!!! Then lousy drinks and over charged!!! Absolutely horrible!! Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

We love to watch our sports even on vacation, so we were happy to find this bar. The guy singing that night was hilarious. We did have dinner while there and our food was very good. read more

So I am a big, big fan, here is why: * I have been patronizing the Grove location for years * This place is big, and well air-conditioned * Professional and friendly and attentive staff * Awesome array of specials relevant to different days and times * Right off Duval, in the mix, but priced better * Roosters and chickens come to visit and the staff shoes them off with a watergun--MUST SEE!! LOL! * Fish tacos rocked, I had two for about $6 bucks. SCORE! * Loaded Mac-n-Cheese is a total life changer! OMG * Tall boy Pabst Blue Ribbon is always $3 bucks. What WHAT? America! * Live music often * Lots of TV's for sport * Lots of bar space * Popular with locals and tourists and me and mine * Full liquor bar. Visit, thank me later. Go Canes, Go Dolphins!! Cabeza OUT! read more

Pickles Pub - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

The service was horrible, but the food was even worse. Every single thing that we ordered came out wrong. The beer was warm and the bartender was too busy cuddling and kissing on her boyfriend at the end of the bar to even check on anyone. I have never been more let down by a restaurant. Wish I could give it zero. read more

Server was too busy vaping, doing shots and being on her phone to take care of her tables. Appeared to be too high to be serving tables. We are locals and it's slow season, so I would think this would be the time of year to take care of the people that carry them during the slow season. My husband loves the wings, but we won't be back. read more
