What a cute little spot! We heard about the mermaid margarita so we stopped for that and it was delicious! Very refreshing on the hot day. Inside there are several rooms, all adorable. The outside area is cute too but had no shade at the time of day we were there so that wasn't happening for us. The bartender was very friendly and welcoming. Added bonus- they have a little dog bar with treats and toys for your pup! read more

Never again. The bartender was more interested in hitting on a guy than acknowledging us. Her energy was heavy and clearly annoyed we were interrupting. Once we patiently waited for her to finish flirting and trying to make plans (guy trying to leave as it was that obvious ) she finally asked if we wanted something (umm are you kidding?) we had one shot because we really wanted to give this place a try but after the shot we left . Bad service, whatever shots, and just not the vibe. read more

This is a great little bar with a bit of town and ghost history! It was our last stop on our ghost pub crawl and my Girlfriend and I really enjoyed it. We were told by a local passing by it's the best local bar in town. There are games to play, which we did while enjoying our drinks and there is also plenty of space to sit and relax with friends. The staff was friendly and attentive. It was also not overcrowded with tourists, even at 10ish pm! I recommend stopping in for a beverage. read more

Danielle is a major reason to check out this tiny Key West gem. A rock star bartender, she serves up delicious cocktails with a magical flare. Bars like Shots and Giggles often succeed on the quality of their bartenders, and this oasis of fun certainly has the right captain behind the bar. Shots and Giggles is the perfect spot for a more intimate, friendly Key West experience. I stopped in here to take a break from Hemingway Days and the chaos of the Running of the Bulls to find Danielle wearing the traditional Pamplona garb with a Hemingway daiquiri in hand..Sold, Papa, sold.. Shots and Giggles is definitely my go to spot to embrace a more relaxed Key West vibe. If you haven't stopped by this bar then your Key West vacation just isn't complete. read more

Last night, July 17, 2021 a friend and I decided to stop by this establishment. It has a small inside probably seats about 15-20 people maybe less, but they have a nice walk up window outside. The inside was full and we were uncomfortable going inside to order. We opted for the walk up window instead. I ordered two cocktails, a Jack and Coke, the house Mermaid Lemonade, and two shots of Milagros tequila, chilled. We received our drinks and decided to sit on the pouch. Taking our shots we were surprised to find, they tasted extremely watered down. We moved on to our cocktails, and they too were extremely watery. So we left, and decided to perform an experiment. We went to a liquor store, bought a bottle of tequila and took shots to confirm the fact to ourselves that our shots were in fact watered down. The results came in, and yes we had been sold water with a splash of tequila. read more

Exploring Key West and we wanted to enjoy a local pub. We decided to stop in at this low key bar. We asked the bartender if she knew how to make a martini, and she said "Yes, I know how." We received something that we had no idea what it was. We are all human and I understand that. That is fine. My partner walked up and asked for a different drink. This took all he had because he felt like a Karen. She eventually remade our drinks with distain. Mine was fine, but my partner had no idea what his was. We just decided we would move on after that drink. No big deal. They had a beautiful golden retriever, "Shop dog." Where we were sitting, they had dog treats. Hence, with common sense, I opened it up and was about to give the dog a treat. Apparently, the owner of the dog, was the owner of the bar. He came up to me and said "Did you ask permission?". Let me remind you, that these treats were readily available to the public. If you do not want someone giving your dog dog treats, hide them. Common sense. This is a very unfriendly bar where they really truly do not appreciate tourists, nor patrons who enjoy quality cocktails. I'm easy to please, however, I've never seen anything like this. read more

Shots and Giggles is a tiny bar w/a lot of personality. It's hidden around the corner (look for the sign), but it's close to one of the popular pick up spots for hotel shuttles. We took the shuttle to and from the Marriott Key West Beachside Hotel. You would THINK Shots and Giggles is a tourist trap, but it really isn't. We saw only semi-locals (people working in Key West for an extended period of time, contractors, etc.) all three nights we visited. Bartender was friendly and quick. Plenty of seating inside and the bar was very clean. They have an excellent assortment of creative drinks. I have a sweet tooth so I fell in love with the Strawberry Shortcake drink. Don't worry they also have beer and normal mixed drinks. If you are walking around Key West I highly recommend stopping in for at least ONE of their creative drinks. Great drinks, good prices, clean location, and nice bartender. What else do you need while on vacation in Key West?!? Ok, you need food. They do not serve food here, but I promise there is food close. Next time I'm in Key West I will visit here again! read more

From the Business

History

Established in 2011.

Shots and Giggles is a local's favorite bar in Key West, FL. Nestled next to Tattoos & Scars Saloon right off of Greene St., Shots and Giggles is known for its relaxed atmosphere, cold drinks, and always having the game on any of their 5 TVs. Owners Steve Kibbe and Hannia Rivera mixed their love of hospitality and sports back in 2011 when they opened Shots and Giggles. The two have been based in Key West for over 18 years, enjoying the sunshine and small town feel. As lifelong restauranteurs and bar managers, Steve and Hannia are fortunate to have realized their dream of owning this little piece of hidden paradise. Steve immigrated to the Conch Republic from San Francisco, California. Don't be fooled, however, you'll often see him around town in an Eagles' jersey. Meanwhile, Hannia is a diehard Redskins fan from Annapolis, Maryland. She's often spotted sporting an "I hate Dallas" t-shirt around town. So stop in and say hello for some Shots and Giggles, you'll be happy you did!

Captain Tony's is my favorite place in Key West. I'm not kidding when I say I can end up here…read moremultiple times in one day. Every trip, every time. The music is always good, the service is great, and I just love being here. It's the kind of place where you walk in for one drink and suddenly you have been there for two hours. You also have to try to get a quarter in the fish's mouth. DYING TO GO BACK.

We were with friends from CO who were visiting Key West for the first time. After walking around…read moreMallory Square and down Duval Street, we decided to have a drink at Captain Tony's before going out to a different restaurant for dinner. Of course it is an attraction because it is supposedly the original Sloppy Joes where Ernest Hemingway hung out. It is dark inside with low ceilings. People have hung paper currency all over and you will also see lots of bras hanging from the ceiling. There is live music and lots of people watching. We enjoyed our drinks and the fun atmosphere.

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.

We came on a recommendation, and we heard the music from the street below, which made us curious…read more Popped in to have a quick drink, and stayed a bit longer listening to an amazing musician. I really wish I remember his name. Our bartender Maria was super sweet and very friendly! Cool place to relax, have a drink, listen to some great live music, and people watch on Duval Street.

The location is awesome, a balcony above Duval Street, right in the middle of the Key West action…read more If you only want basic beer or wine, *maybe* you'll enjoy yourself. 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.
