    Dirty martini
    Christa K.

    I was so excited to stop by for Martini Monday! We have been coming down to Key West for years and this was our first time coming in. It was busy- but we snagged a table on the side. A server stopped by quickly for our order. Lots of options but I decided to stick with a classic dirty martini with blue cheese olives. My drink was good. I was going to try another one but our server didn't stop by again. We also noticed other tables being offered a food menu but we were not. I was disappointed but understood that the restaurant was busy and maybe we were just overlooked. One other thing to mention- smoking is ok. We weren't aware of this until the table next to us started smoking.

    Monday martini night $7 is a must! The bartender was amazing and accommodating! The place was hopping by 9:00 with dancing and all ages.

    Not surprisingly Key West is full of fun hole in the wall bars! Virgilio's is a Martini bar located of the main drag. If you can't find it follow the sounds of live music, that is how we stumbled upon this fun place. We dropped in after dinner, so we didn't get to try any of the food items. I have heard they have a yummy menu so we definitely be back to try their food!

    Monday martini madness and great Italian food! Always a great meal topped off with imaginative martinis! Great staff who will make suggestions so you have a great meal!

    These martinis were the best martinis I have ever drank. I had the miky way martini on the whip martini! They were both amazing! On Mondays they have $7 martinis. The service was great. They had a great band!

    Latin music played by a Miami DJ on Thursday nights! Stumbled upon this place as I wanted a nice key lime martini. The key lime martini was nicely served in a proper martini glass and then the have a small pour in a baby craft on time of ice. Now.. the martini gets warm quickly only because of how hot the weather is outside. The staff is very attentive and great service. They also offer food but only to a certain time. We were able to order a couple of apps- bruschetta and meat and cheese board. The wine selection is better than decent but they need to properly store them! Hot wine on hot nights is not enjoyable. However, great spot to catch a drink and shake your body a little bit.

    A cool martini bar at the back. It's closed in, but had openings in the roof, so decent ventilation. They have a live band that comes in at night, but it's a pretty small area, so it might be a bit too close for comfort for us. The bartender was really friendly, mentioning the martinis were their specialty. He gave us a bar menu, showing beer/wine prices, except for the pricey martinis, until the bill comes of course ($15 each). I don't like that kind of trickery, so shame-shame to the owner. The Peroni beer was good, and the cranberry martini was tasty, but we spilled it by accident and the bartender didn't even offer to make us a replacement.

    Fun speakeasy-esque martini bar in the back. Martinis were $17 but they essentially came with two and were strong so price seemed reasonable. Our bartender was patient and helpful as we were indecisive! It says night club, but when we were there (8 pm on a Friday) it was a nice but laid back bar.

    Martinis and music

    Music is incredible, Martini Monday is a plus given the fantastic ice cold martinis - we tried gin with a twist, dirty martinis (blue cheese stuffed fresh) and key lime pie. Excellent.

    Every year when we come to Key West we always make reservations at Virgilios. The food is always excellent as is the service.

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.

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.
