The drinks are made perfectly and there's a large menu to choose from. In addition, the prices are very reasonable. When you first walk in, there's a large wrap-around bar that is usually full to the brim with happy patrons. But don't worry - walk to the other side of the bar and there's a large patio chock full of additional seating. Thankfully, the view from any angle is beautiful because you are... dockside! You are right on the water! Check their social media accounts to see the who and what - because the place is always offering some type of live music act. If you need a low-key, super casual, and relaxing environment - but also want great drinks and fare - then go to Dockside Bar and Grill.

It's an exact to the detail replica of Ernest Hemingway's famous 38 foot wooden 1934 Wheeler boat, the Pilar. It was this boat that was Hemingway's love and refuge leading to literary masterpieces such as "The Old Man and the Sea." He captained it on fishing trips all over the Keys, offshore Marquesas, Bimini, where he became famous not only for his fishing, but his drunkenness, fighting and recklessness. Then of course the primary port, Key West, with the Pilar becoming a leading character of the famous Key West or Bohemian like Conch Republic lifestyle. Be sure to stop in to see and climb aboard the Pilar. It's free and will give the chance to vicariously live the life of Hemingway, standing at his helm, sitting in his fighting chair or at his typewriter desk

Near the northern end of the street is Mallory Square, a congregation point where the daily sunset has all eyes cast to the spot where the sun first touches the ocean horizon.

Went there for lunch and absolutely had to say that the blackened grouper Reuben WAS all that! It was nice large sandwich, the grouper was thick and fresh and the blackened seasoning flavored it perfectly. It was served with a side of very crispy kettle chips and with my cold iced tea it was a perfect meal. The service was excellent and I love the decor from the 80s! This is definitely a destination you need to try, especially if they're blackened grouper Reuben! I look forward to the opportunity to stop back in to try something else on their menu. Please make this a destination as it is very easy to drive by and not notice.

Just come here, you won't regret it!! PS, sometimes the service is slow when they're slammed during busy hours, but who cares you're in the keys and good food is worth the wait. Love the food here!

But this is also not a typical park, as there is no playground or typical park amenities. They do have free parking (convenient to the beach too). The park was named after Charles "Sonny" McCoy (former key west mayor for 5 terms and Monroe County Commissioner) The "Indigenous" portion of the park's name is the concept that this park was originally designed for. They wanted to protect the native species of trees from being destroyed and fully removed by developers, so around the park are a huge variety of trees. Okay, not exactly exciting stuff yet and not much of a reason for that 5 star rating. They have a Wildlife Rescue center and a wildlife trail; which the kids always love. What sold me on this place is the brand new BOCCE BALL courts (approximately 8 of them). I very much enjoy playing and finding a professional made court is very hard to find in Florida. Most parks in Broward and Palm Beach County only have grass courts and a couple on har-tru (like a tennis court) and couple are done on artificial grass (the worst). Also the majority of parks that do have them, do very minimal maintenance so the courts are usually in a state of deterioration. These courts are made professionally (I have never seen this quality level in any public bocce ball court within 200 miles (literally). They have composite boards (so no worries regarding wood rot), they have concrete walkways (including dips to hold the out of play balls, fully lit for night play, tons of local leagues and the course material is rock sand and clay (and the play surface is incredible) Be sure to check this place out

I found it because I wanted to see the Key West chickens and I hadn't seen any at the point and there were a few there that I would be guaranteed to see. Besides chickens though are a lot of local species that are kept for conservation and education. It's a small space but we had fun, particularly the myna bird which could talk and was cute would kick out eggs from other birds' nests so they could lay their own. Devious little guys. It's a short loop around and while not quite a zoo you can get pretty close to a lot of the animals here; the turtle pond in particular, those guys wake up really quickly when you make any hand or arm gesture. All in all, it's a good find and definitely a quirky little find in quirky Key West.
