Bar · French Quarter
"This dingy spot on the corner of Chartres and Bienville pours the cheapest drinks in the Quarter, for starters. Yes, your feet will stick to the floor, but retreating into the Chart Room’s dark confines is the best way to give the crowds the slip. Great jukebox too." - Beth D’Addono
"This dingy spot on the corner of Chartres and Bienville has regulars that date back to the 70s, the days when the French Quarter was a real neighborhood and residents were proud to be called Quarter rats. The drinks are cheap, the bar grungy, and the crowd mostly talkative. An ideal place to find solace away from the masses." - Eater Staff
"Key West bars, especially the popular ones, can get crowded. So if you’re looking for somewhere to escape—and if you generally prefer drinking at a dive bar—go seek shelter at Chart Room. This Key West staple is impossible to stumble upon unless you know about it, as it’s located inside a bougie resort, but completely open to the public. Every inch of the small room is covered in a flag, photo, or bumper sticker, and it’s quiet enough for a conversation or a game of backgammon over a very tasty Old Fashioned. Also, there are complimentary peanuts and hot dogs for anyone brave enough to reach into the slow cooker." - Ryan Pfeffer
