    My hubby and daughter sang karaoke on the stage here a few times in the past. Tonight we stopped in for a few drinks and listened to other people sing. The drinks are served in tiny clear plastic cups with no WOW factor. The bar is very very very basic and dark. The collection of porcelain mugs against the back wall were an odd addition but interesting. We celebrated Fantasy Fest on the ledge of the roof top bar and had a blast. Probable one of the oldest popular bars on Duval Street.

    FUN KARAOKE NIGHT... At 11pm every night Ricks Bar hosts Karaoke night. A guy sets up the karaoke system with two mics and a display screen. Yes, of course I got up on stage and beautifully sang a few songs. Upstairs there is a huge bar with a balcony that overlooks Duval Street and Sloppy Joes. Great times here.

    Great Place to Hang with friends.

    Very nice place . However prices for cigars are too high plus the cigars are too dry.

    Gotta love Ricks, a key west staple and key west tree top is a bar to go to and have a solid drink on any bar hop.

    We ended our night here. There was a band playing old punk music and we rearranged their entire set list with special requests. It was rad!!

    This bar was fun until it wasn't. Once they hit capacity they start kicking out dudes for "being too drunk." That's bullshit

    Unfortunately I came here early in the day, but apparently this place is known for their live performances. Cool Dive bar in the area.

    Tiki House - A Must Stop KW Vibe We stumbled into Tiki House…read moreright at opening, lured in by their "street talker" promising 2 for 1 beers and wells from 12-3 PM. Who's walking past that? Not us. Inside, it's pure island charm -- rustic tiki décor, laid back energy, and a munchie menu that's perfect for a quick bite. Football season meant TVs everywhere, plus a solo musician on stage (I don't need to hear the game to watch it; music soothes the beast). Enter Mira -- The Tiki Oracle. Bartender, manager, Key West historian, and all around gem. She switched a TV to our game without hesitation and put up with me talking her ear off like a true bartender therapist. We liked it so much we came back the next day, and the vibe was just as good -- friendly, accommodating, and exactly what you hope for in a KW spot. We even dragged the rest of our group over, and they immediately asked why we didn't start there. Tiki House is so Conch Republic vibed it just makes you feel good. I highly recommend it... even though I hate giving away a place this good.

    We had a few birthday celebrations in our group, so we decided to stop into Tiki House for drinks…read moreand a little dancing. The vibe for an early Friday afternoon was really good. 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. Everyone had a great time, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

    I have a sweet tooth, a tremendous sweet tooth indeed, For…read moreice cream and desserts are the things that I need. I've had dessert in the desert near Area 51, And underground in Antarctica, far from the sun. I've had it in graveyards, beneath moonlight so fair, And even in a dessert restaurant, yes, I've had dessert there! At Better Than Sex, the Fever was mine, And it tasted so splendid, so luscious, divine. I tried one of their special coffees as well, And it was so delicious, I nearly swooned under its spell. But the night's grandest moment, the finest display, Was when our waiter arrived with the desserts on a tray. He looked straight in my eyes as he named each delight, With a confidence both curious and wonderfully bright. My dessert was a huge phallus, impressive and grand, With two giant balls resting beneath it in hand. It was covered in "splooge sauce," a curious sweet stream, A dessert of such drama it belonged in a dream! I truly enjoyed this place and would gladly return If I lived nearby, where the sweet candles burn. They are masters of dessert, of flavor and flair-- A deliciously mischievous treasure tucked away there.

    We went to Better Than Sex after eating a full meal at Duffy's right in front, so there wasn't much…read moreroom left in us. But oh man was it amazing. An extremely unique ambience and decoration. But it's not too much or too little. The seating is comfortable and private. Our server was very nice, he checked in at all the right times and was sweet. We only ordered one dessert and it got there promptly. Everything on the menu looked excellent and delicious. We settled on the cookie nookie cake, it was super fresh with many contrasting flavors that made every bite a pleasure. Overall had an amazing time and recommend this place for anything from a late night dessert or a full dessert meal. If we're ever around again, we are definitely going back and trying a lot more than just one dessert.
