    This place is cool AF. We have been here many times but for some reason it is so much fun.. Placed is packed and I can see why. Energetic, fun and best of all it is happy hour. The dude singing is absolutely amazing. My pour was really, really, really good. Meaning a lot of vodka and a pinch of cola. Is this our new place as a local? Hum OH HECK YEA.

    Best entertainment in Key West that we’ve had the pleasure to enjoy! Rob Benton was amazing last night and the staff was great at keeping up with drinks even though the place was packed!! Will be coming back tonight!!

    My new favorite place in Key West. Went last night and the music was outstanding. Good happy hour, and we enjoyed the food truck too. We were walking back from Mallory square and heard the music and stopped and didnt leave until the band was done. It was full on a Monday night in November with about 30 people standing outside on the sidewalk. Can't wait to go back.

    This is an awesome patio bar that we checked out on our trip to Key West. The food truck in the back yard, no kitchen but don't let that stop you, had a great menu and the music was awesome. Check it out and be prepared to stay a while!

    Great bar and great entertainment but wow so loud! I’m assuming they crank up the volume to draw people in from Duval Street but it’s way too loud if you are in the bar. Have been there a few times but never stay too long due to not being able to even talk to others at your table.

    Dependably friendly folks on both sides of the bar, and usually a friendly local pup looking for a head scratch too - and close to 100 live musical performances every month as well. Thanks to Kayla for friendly service and spot-on brainstorming about island-hopping options…

    Great shade covers outside venue. Food truck had no vegetarian choices. Vendor did try to make a mix of some veggies. Good music, nice staff, nice crowd. Happy Hour

    Great spot! We always stop here whenever in Key West. Can't beat the live music, great drinks, and food truck. We went this past weekend and had the pleasure of being served by two awesome bartenders, Ashley and Dakota!

    Great food! Great venue. Nice prices.

    Stumbled in because the music was fantastic. Had a couple tacos from the food truck. Mongolian barbecue was my favorite. Our waitress was very welcoming and a joy to be around. I think she was having more fun then the guests. Great time. Very nice atmosphere. I'll be back.

    Stopped in Friday night for some music, cold beer and Garbo’s Food Truck and was not disappointed!! Wife had Korean Barbecue Tacos and I had a Cheeseburger! Some of the best food in Key West!!

    Came here for the Garbos taco truck and was treated to some acoustic country courtesy of Clay Hollis. Service was quick and attentive. Drinks were great. They had fans blowing in the day to help keep air flowing. A nice live music experience.

    A great pairing to go along with Garbo's food. Hank's provides the drinks and live music to a mostly outdoor experience. They have very relaxing indoor and outdoor bar areas to enjoy food, drinks, and entertainment. Unfortunately they had to change the layout of the property over the years, pushing the live music stage towards the back, while Garbo's has the spot at the entrance of Hank's. Overall, they've upped their game and brought in a new waitress friendly portable ordering system allowing high tops to be waited on now. Always a good time at Hank's.

    A great place to share a drink or 2 with friends or family. The food we had hit the spot for me. My wife bought some nice T shirts for our boys back in New Zealand. Your place was a recommendation from a local who spends time there, said its a great atmosphere, he wasn't wrong.

  • 5/5 Zach H. 10 months ago on Google
    Best bar out of our entire Key West trip. The bartenders were all very friendly and fun, the live music was always going on and it was a great time. The food out back was also really good but it was overpriced in my opinion. Overall, this place is awesome!

  • 5/5 Bennett K. 10 months ago on Google
    Tacos were fantastic and a great chill spot to grab some live music. Cliff Cody and Elle Haley were spot on.

  • 3/5 Phillip M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place! Music is great! Been going since they opened. Only complaint tonight would be the cute bartender has developed an attitude and was rude. Lots of bars in KW. Wife and I won’t be back.

  • 5/5 Eric G. 1 year ago on Google
    We just had a great experience with very friendly bartenders and a very friendly and helpful bar back. I even complimented each one of them because you don't find that at very many bars in town. I noticed when I wrote this review that several have given one star with comments about a rude female bartender. We're glad we had the opposite experience and hopefully that problem will be addressed. The live talent was great, but loud for our tastes. We sat at the back bar near Garbo's food trailer (also 5 stars) where it was quieter. There's a large screen with a live feed of the talent and front area to watch, along with sports screens. Our drinks were great and we'll be back

    Hands down one of my favorite spots in town! Love Nick and so sorry Rob left town. But they do have the best music. I love bringing friends and family from out of town here, they have the best time and always talk about Hank's!!

  • 5/5 Roddy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome bar and great musical talent. Food truck on the property and is delicious!

  • 5/5 jess e. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favorite bar in Key West! We hung out at Hanks multiple nights during our stay in Key West. The staff was so friendly and attentive the entire time, especially the manager Paul. Always have the best line up for live music and the option to reserve a table if you have a larger group. Also, the food from Garbo's is incredible! We love that some of their merchandise proceeds help out rescue dogs too. A great place all around. See you next time Hank's!

  • 5/5 Amber M. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar is amazing!! We loved the bar, the food truck and the live music! We went back to Hanks three nights in a row while we were in town. Once you go here you will not want to go to any other bar in Key West, it's that good!!!!!!! Make sure you see Rob Benton live when you are in town. He plays at Hanks on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday!!!

    If you want to see why Nick Brownell was named favorite entertainer in Key West, head to Hanks. He'll be woking his short shorts off to show you a good time. Hit the food truck (Garbos) in the back if you need to fill your tum.

  • 5/5 Ryan K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of our favorite places to visit when going to Key West! Always have great live music and love the little Taco stand in back. Ironically….this guy ruined my favorite T-shirt.

  • 5/5 Dan S. 1 year ago on Google
    We love Hanks and its awesome music 3 times a day. Food is great too at Garbos. Super happy hour. Service is always excellent even when very crowded. I particularly love the way you respond to negative reviews with straightforward statements that highlight how obnoxious some reviewers are without being negative yourselves. Our favorite place in Key West!

    Fun place with live music. Get the Ginger's Revenge!! That ginger gummy on the stick is fantastic. Get this refresher with Tara at Garbo's Grill in the back.
