    After you've spent thousands drinking, eating and fishing in absolute paradise. Do yourself a favor and spend your last 100 bucks buying rounds for the boys here. Only one person got arrested that night! Bring bug spray.

    The dirtiest dive bar I have EVER been in. The ceiling is falling in and everything is sticky. But the beer is cold (out of a cooler) and people are super nice. I'll take this place anyday over a tourist spot with a bunch of snooty people. Ted the bartender is AWESOME!! He entertained us all night and I hope I get to see him again.

    Pretty great dive bar. Both bartenders are super sweet, very personable and fun to talk with. Selection is pretty bar bones but so are the prices, maybe the cheapest place I've been to down here. They have pool and darts and it's a pretty great place for a low key drink. Expect cigarette smoke.

    Adventuring all the "dives" in Key West. This is better. Much better. Wouldn't be out of place in New Orleans. Outside the Quarter. That's a good thing.

    Best dive bar my wife and I have ever been to, so treat yourself if that's your scene. One close glance at the building would scare many away. But the bartender that we had was friendly, attentive, and a good conversationalist. The beers are cold and cheap. Great place if you want to hang out with some real people.

    Locals late nite spot. Bathrooms alittle rough but vastly improved from years ago. Will definitely add it to my home-going pit stop. Great barmaid & resident cat.

    Definitely a dive bar but the entertainment of it all is worth the stop.

    Not a bad spot. Watch out for the locals though because it is common for them to try setting you up with the cops and a guy sitting at the bar threatened to do that to me so I had to move my seat, chug my beer and leave. Other than that, I liked the joint and there is boat parking right there.

    Best dive bar in town!

    I'm giving PP 5 stars because it's the last of a dying breed. When tourists ask " where do the locals go?" This is it! A real local bar. Unlike the discovered Green Parrot that pretends to be a local bar these days. You want to meet real people? This is the place.
