"El Meson de Pepe, located near Mallory Square, is the go-to spot for strong mojitos, frozen rum runners, and live Cuban music. The open-air patio bar invites dancing under the stars, often accompanied by a wandering rooster or two — because, well, it’s Key West. Order a classic daiquiri, a margarita, or their famous sangria, and soak in the festive, Old Havana-style atmosphere. For an added touch of magic, stop by for a pre-sunset drink and witness Mallory Square’s Sunset Celebration in all its glory — with street performers and more, the event has been taking place nightly since the 1960s and is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the ocean." - Amber Love Bond
