    Smallest Bar
    Nicky S.

    The name and the size of this bar lures you in- as long as there is space! We popped in so our group could do a shot-ski. The bartender made key lime shots for this occasion and they were delicious!

    Little overpriced for the shot we had, but a cool little spot to check off and experience as part of your Key West to do list.

    This was such a cute little spot, and if you're not looking, you'll pass right by it! The bartender was super awesome, very easy going, and very personable with every guest that came through. I love the idea of a small bar that you can pop into to grab a bevvy and keep walking along Duval. I asked him for a recommendation for a virgin pina colada or daquiri and he gave me two great recommendations. If you're in the area, which you will be if you're in Key West, swing by and grab a drank!

    This bar is a icon in Key West. Fits 4 people. A perfect spot for a photo. They serve beer and drinks. Friendly staff. Located on the Duval street. Cute place.

    Tiny!

    They did not lie! It's about the size of a small storage unit in the middle of Key West in between two bars with enough room for about five people! They do have some tasty drinks, which is what everybody wants when you go into a bar.

    My Key West trips multiple times a year would not be the same without stopping at the Smallest Bar. The name Small really does not give it justice. Literally ten people can fit into this room with a tiny liquor bar and one bartender. It's so tight that you feel the sweat from other people - ewe. I always get a bartenders choice shot here. To find it look for the yellow awning on Duval Street.

    One of the coolest smallest bars ever !! Fast service too..! lol When on Duval this a must stop and see sight. Cool vibes and good atmosphere.

    A Tiny Bar with a Big Personality - The Smallest Bar in Key West, FL Tucked between two buildings on Duval Street, The Smallest Bar in Key West lives up to its name -- and yet, it delivers a full-sized experience packed with charm, character, and good times. It's not just a quirky novelty; it's a genuinely fun place to stop for a drink and a laugh while exploring Old Town. There's barely room for more than a few people inside (literally, it's about the size of a walk-in closet), but that's part of the fun. The bartender is usually just steps away from everyone, and the atmosphere is light, friendly, and inviting -- the kind of place where you'll end up chatting with strangers and maybe even making a few new friends. The drink menu is simple but solid. They've got all the essentials -- ice-cold beers, margaritas, mojitos, and classic tropical cocktails served with a smile. It's a great place for a quick refreshment while bar hopping down Duval or waiting for sunset at Mallory Square. There's also something undeniably Key West about this place. It's laid-back, a little offbeat, and full of character -- a perfect reflection of the island's quirky charm. It may be small in size, but it's huge in personality.

    This is just a place you have to stop at when in key west, even if it's just for one visit. Service is good, drinks are cold, and it's a great spot for a photo op.

    THERAGINGFORK.com Ok. This one was interesting. While in Key West FL on the legendary duval Street, I entered The Smallest Bar. We were able to squeeze in several customers. The drinks were average but the atmosphere was worth it. Always a fun stop if visiting the Keys. Lots of great pictures and laughs. So, go for the fun and do not expect an expert bartender, although she was very fun and inviting, or high end drinks. Did not see any food so unsure about that. Will surely return.

    Super fun spot!!!!! You must get the key lime pie shot! The bartender helped us find our next drink at a hidden hole in the wall on the way to our dinner Res. We enjoyed it so much, we went two days in a row!

    So mad that i have never visited this bar in key west on my many trips. Came off the cruise ship…read moreand looked to my right and saw a very old two story bldg that spoke to me to come inside. Weary at first but the bartender was so much fun and the inside looked like key west in one glance. Only two other couples inside but it was early in the day. The bloody mary was delish and knocked over my first and the bartender did not blink an eye to refill me another. Cant wait to return.

    Like that old song by Jimmy Buffett said, I enjoyed a cheeseburger in this paradise when my cruise…read morestopped in Key West. I missed a chance to reserve at the ship's steakhouse and I was definitely craving burgers. The fact that I could enjoy it with a Mojito? Even better! Surly Siren is a cool little dive bar located on the second floor with views of Duval Street and Mallory Square. My friend and I walked in literally what I had just opened on Friday and sat by the bar. Our bartender was funny & helpful starting me with their Metallica martini, mixed with Cruzan Rum. As far as food, my fries had a nice crisp to them. The burger, served with caramelized onions and even ordering it medium (I usually order medium well , oops) was juicy and tasty especially supplemented with the bacon and the fried egg #proteinloading. My friend also approved of the chicken wings she ordered.

    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.
