Capt Tony’s Saloon

The Best Bars in the Florida Keys | Eater Miami

"As the oldest bar in Key West, Captain Tony’s Saloon oozes history — originally built in 1851 as an icehouse that doubled as a morgue, it later became Ernest Hemingway’s favorite watering hole. The dark, divey bar is filled with memorabilia, bras hanging from the ceiling, bar stools painted with the names of the famous people who sat in them, and the ghosts of its past. Order a Pirate’s Punch or an Ernest Hemingway favorite (a Teacher’s, which is just cheap scotch and soda or a Papa Doble, also known as the Hemingway Daiquiri) and soak up the legendary atmosphere. If walls could talk, this place would have some wild stories." - Amber Love Bond
