The vibe here is cocktail den, cozy, intimate, dark. It's like a sexy little vixen in the cocktail world with an air of mystery. The menu was very creative, I mean unique combos with premium spirits including absinthe and the bartender was helpful in that she would suggest a drink based upon spirits & profile you prefer. We each had a cocktail and Ithey were both delicious. We tried the I pity a fool, which is Jamison whiskey, peach, lemon, and black pepper. Also, El Cuerno de Aire , an Espadin Mezcal, lemon, and blackberry combo. Yum, Next time I'm in Key West I am definitely coming back here. Don't miss out on this one.

The DJ was playing some great music that kept the dance floor going, and the bartender did a solid job keeping up with orders and taking care of everyone quickly. No complaints from our group at all.

I've been wanting to go to the newly relocated Tiki House and managed to go on a Thursday night,…read moreand the atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect from a Keys tiki bar--laid-back, tropical, and full of energy. The live music was a nice touch, and the setting definitely screams vacation mode. However, here's the catch: Happy Hour was advertised everywhere--on the front signage and even in the hallways--but when we asked about it, the staff seemed completely unaware. No one could confirm the specials, and it felt awkward having to explain what we saw posted. For a place that promotes Happy Hour so visibly, this was a big miss. Drinks were solid, and the vibe was fun, but that disconnect on Happy Hour left us feeling a little disappointed. If you're going for the ambiance and a good time, you'll enjoy it.

And it's not only the drink menu with its custom crafted cocktails, wines, beers & ciders that will wow you but the accompanying snacks and bites are just as divine. And bonus, it's not only a bar, but also a liquor store with an awesome selection of wines and spirits. This bar definitely has a locals vibe. It's small , dark and cozy and the small tables with velvet chairs are very welcoming. We loved it so much. We came back for a second night. We tried the Maria Rita, which was a reposado tequila with fresh lemon, lime, hibiscus, and habanero, perfect version of a margarita. We also tried blowing smoke up your glass, this was made with Papa Pilar, dark rum, pineapple, fresh lime, house made basil syrup & tiki bitters. Absolutely fabulous. We also tried their deviled eggs each topped with unique toppings like trout row, bacon, and scallions. They were absolutely fabulous. They also have a great selection of charcuterie, Key nuts which you can order with different flavor, profiles, caviar, olives & peppers. Also, the most generous happy hour I've ever heard of from 12 to 6 PM every day. Don't miss out on this little jewel when in Key West.

They offer a *very* limited choice of cocktails, and couldn't even make a daiquiri for us. Bizarre. The bartender suggested we go to another bar with a better choice of cocktails, so we did. BTW, they only serve drinks in plastic cups, like a pool bar, if that matters to you. Halo is located in an expensive upscale hotel, but this is definitely not a high end experience.

Vibe is on point with being a speakeasy. The decor is dark and moody. The entertainment was…read morephenomenal. She sang and played percussion. Such a terrific voice and loads of talent. There is a small bar with about 12 stools, a small lounge area with about 4 small seating nooks, and then a high top bench area that is along the wall. Service and set up of this place is not conducive to being able to attend to patrons. Could only order food if you were seated at the bar. We sat at the high tops and you had to go to the bar to get your drinks. Problem is that the bar has patrons sitting as well so you are hovering over them waiting for a drink. It was very uncomfortable to impose upon others to try to get a drink. I am sure they didn't appreciate the audience as they were eating as well. The bartenders were way too busy and overwhelmed. Not only are they serving the seated patrons and the 4 small nooks, they are also making drinks for the attached restaurant. There were a gazillion tickets coming out of the printer and servers standing on the other side of the window waiting. It's just not possible to serve everyone with just two bartenders. We waited about 10 minutes for service. The drinks were underwhelming for a speakeasy. Just your typical menu. What we ordered was okay. They just missed a great opportunity to create unique twists on classics or to have craft cocktails. Even the classics (which are perfect for a speakeasy) weren't that great. For a speakeasy, the drinks are the main event. Glad we tried it as we always seek out speakeasies. Wouldn't go again.

First off, nothing says tropics like Rum! The name is all that needs to be said. Nothing more... nothing less. It's a small and it was packed.

You had us at Kenny Chesney Island Girl, and we just had to find a spot and enjoy. And we Most certainly did! It was sublime and refreshing. I was even able to walk out with a souvenir Rum Bar hat (purple). Without a doubt, we will be back and we're telling all of our familia and friends of this place!
