    Fish tacos
    Nicky S.

    Stopped in for some lunch plus drinks with bonus live music. The music was really great and performed by Tim Hollohan. He played a variety of songs which was nice. Our waitress was fast and friendly despite being busy. I had a virgin mojito which was very refreshing. It came with a stick of sugar cane which I thought was unique. I ordered the lunch special of fish tacos with yellow rice which were flavorful. The spices were delicious without being overwhelming.

    A fun night at Willy T's, good live music, priced right beers and a very cool and never dull atmosphere. Read some of the dollar bills plastered everywhere. Fun place

    Willie T's had a great social atmosphere and we kept being told it was the place to 'meet friends.'.... I'll let yall experience your own adventure here, but I recommend the strong drinks and fairly reasonable prices!

    We came here during fantasy fest and the DJ they had was on fire! To the point people would stop and dance in the street. I had a great time here and lots of great memories! They had a lot of tables and chairs too.

    This is the first place we ate in Key West. My hubs doesn't do heat well so I was looking for an indoor restaurant but not high end. This place has a couple red patio woth large fans that helped a lot as many places to eat are open air and patios. Service was great. We had a very pregnant, pleasant gal. Live music was nice to listen to also. We enjoyed a few Surfsides while munching on Buffalo Hot Wings, massive size Caprese Salad, and a full order of Peel n Eat Shrimp. All was very good, and ended up being too much food. We packed the leftovers for later.

    Great place along the main drag of Key West. They have a bar area and a restaurant area. There was live music which was very good and there are literally dollar bills over every single square inch of this place. The music talent was awesome and really played a variety of different kinds of songs to get people singing along. The food and drinks were good. Margaritas were good and 2/$15 (Friday special). They have specials for food and beverages. The conch fritters were great and so were the grouper bites. They also have very good sweet potato fries. The hostess was very nice and our server was amazing! She was so nice, friendly, and attentive (thanks Stephanie). We didn't wait long for our food and she continually checked in on us throughout our visit. Great place to swing in to listen to great live music or have a good meal.

    Yummmm!! Nachos are HUGE and delicious! Our server was great, food came out fast and tasted amazing. Coconut shrimp was some of the best I've had. I recommend sitting close to the street so you can people watch

    REAL CASH HERE...Always great local classic rock and roll playing outside this restaurant - bar. The restaurant is the whole left side and bar consists of a huge U-shaped wooden bar top with several side tables in front of the band stage. Most people come the this bar for the bands as I do but the real eye candy is the money stapled to every open space on the walls and ceiling. The bathrooms needed attention but it is an old venue.

    We were walking past this place and we heard this guy singing "What I Got" by Sublime. We stopped, started singing along and headed in. I we already ate, so I can't comment on the food. But the party vibe, great music and friendly people were worth the stop.

    Love , love the ambiance! Seeing all the money on the wall was such a cool touch. The food is classic beach-style fare--good and satisfying. The music and drinks were amazing, and the bartenders were extremely friendly, which made the experience even better.

    We came here 3 days in a row as they are on Duvall, have outside seating and allow dogs. Service seems to begrudgingly be here but great location, dog friendly and great live music. Nachos are wonderful and highly recommend the island time pizza and add jalapeños. Enjoyed sitting on the street watching people and soaking in the sun.

    This place is really cool, reminds me of a bar in Spain I used to go to. They have dollars all over the walls that you can write on and staple on to leave. What I didn't like is how pricey this place is, $60 for 2 shots, 2 beers and a virgin mojito. I couldn't believe it, it's not even a high scale place. I would not recommend for there are other bars that you can get cheaper drinks at. Service was good and the ambient was good as well. Just too pricey for a dive bar. Cups are funny too.

Real easy to walk right past it without a second thought. But step inside... and now you're in a whole different story. The walls, the ceiling, the corners every inch feels like it's been collected over time, layered with memorabilia and personality. And the wild part? It doesn't stay the same. The décor can shift with the mood, like the place is alive and just decides to reinvent itself whenever it feels like it. You go in thinking it's just a quick stop. Then the drinks start flowing, the room starts buzzing, and next thing you know you're laughing louder than you planned, talking longer than you expected. Sure, maybe there was a little drinking involved but truth be told, it's the atmosphere doing most of the heavy lifting. They've got events, music, off-the-wall fun mixed in with a laid-back crowd, and it all just works without trying too hard. The food holds its own too solid comfort stuff that hits right when you need it and the service keeps things moving smooth without missing a beat. It's one of those spots... looks like nothing on the outside, but inside it's a whole experience. Another one of those "hidden gems," yeah but this one earns it the hard way.

While I was checking it out, the bouncer at the bar next door told me it was worth a visit, which sealed the deal. Later that evening, I convinced my friends to go with me. They were expecting a full sit-down dinner, but this is more of a counter-service spot with 6-7 bar stools inside. The setup is simple: place your order at the counter, then either grab a stool or head to the bar next door, where they'll bring your food when it's ready. We chose the bar's patio, which gave us a clear view of the restaurant. It was reassuring to see other groups having their meals delivered over too--it felt like we had discovered the right local gem. The wait was about 25-30 minutes, but that only confirmed everything was being made fresh. And let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. Our group ordered two jerk chicken plates with plantains, mac n' cheese, and slaw; one oxtail with black beans, rice, and mac n' cheese; and one jerk burger with fries. Every single dish was a hit. The jerk chicken had that perfect smoky spice and heat from the scotch bonnet peppers, balanced with bold Caribbean flavors. The oxtail was tender and flavorful, and even the sides like mac n' cheese and plantains stood out. All in all, this was easily one of the best Caribbean meals I've had anywhere. A true must try when in Key West.
