    Average for a Key West bar. I'm not certain whether it should be considered a dive bar. It was pretty quiet. I was there early on a Thursday afternoon but other places nearby were busy. Maybe it gets busier when the dance club upstairs opens. Worth a stop if you are bar hopping.

    My hubby and daughter sang karaoke on the stage here a few times in the past. Tonight we stopped in for a few drinks and listened to other people sing. The drinks are served in tiny clear plastic cups with no WOW factor. The bar is very very very basic and dark. The collection of porcelain mugs against the back wall were an odd addition but interesting. We celebrated Fantasy Fest on the ledge of the roof top bar and had a blast. Probable one of the oldest popular bars on Duval Street.

    FUN KARAOKE NIGHT... At 11pm every night Ricks Bar hosts Karaoke night. A guy sets up the karaoke system with two mics and a display screen. Yes, of course I got up on stage and beautifully sang a few songs. Upstairs there is a huge bar with a balcony that overlooks Duval Street and Sloppy Joes. Great times here.

    Great Place to Hang with friends.

    Very nice place . However prices for cigars are too high plus the cigars are too dry.

    Gotta love Ricks, a key west staple and key west tree top is a bar to go to and have a solid drink on any bar hop.

    We ended our night here. There was a band playing old punk music and we rearranged their entire set list with special requests. It was rad!!

    This bar was fun until it wasn't. Once they hit capacity they start kicking out dudes for "being too drunk." That's bullshit

    I stopped by Captain Tony's Saloon and it was such a fun, classic Key West experience…read more The vibe is exactly what you'd want, laid-back, a little quirky, and full of character. There was live music playing, pool tables, and even some video games, so there's plenty to keep you and the family entertained while you hang out. Kids are allowed in, but they aren't allowed to sit at the bar. It definitely feels like one of those places where you can lose track of time in the best way. They also have a merch area with hoodies, stickers, and other souvenirs if you want to take a little piece of the experience home. And knowing it's one of the oldest bars in the Keys just adds to the charm and history of the place. The service was quick, you walk up to the bar and order then find a place to sit. Super chill and laid back. One fun thing you have to try is tossing a quarter into the fish's mouth outside... test your luck and see if you can land it! Can't forget the drinks! The rum punch is to die for... super refreshing and perfect for the Key West heat. Overall, such a fun stop if you're in town. Definitely worth checking out! Fun fact: - it used to be a morgue and ice house back in the day. it also used to be the original home of Sloppy Joes, before they moved to Duvall St.

    We were with friends from CO who were visiting Key West for the first time. After walking around…read moreMallory Square and down Duval Street, we decided to have a drink at Captain Tony's before going out to a different restaurant for dinner. Of course it is an attraction because it is supposedly the original Sloppy Joes where Ernest Hemingway hung out. It is dark inside with low ceilings. People have hung paper currency all over and you will also see lots of bras hanging from the ceiling. There is live music and lots of people watching. We enjoyed our drinks and the fun atmosphere.

I've had dessert in the desert near Area 51, And underground in Antarctica, far from the sun. I've had it in graveyards, beneath moonlight so fair, And even in a dessert restaurant, yes, I've had dessert there! At Better Than Sex, the Fever was mine, And it tasted so splendid, so luscious, divine. I tried one of their special coffees as well, And it was so delicious, I nearly swooned under its spell. But the night's grandest moment, the finest display, Was when our waiter arrived with the desserts on a tray. He looked straight in my eyes as he named each delight, With a confidence both curious and wonderfully bright. My dessert was a huge phallus, impressive and grand, With two giant balls resting beneath it in hand. It was covered in "splooge sauce," a curious sweet stream, A dessert of such drama it belonged in a dream! I truly enjoyed this place and would gladly return If I lived nearby, where the sweet candles burn. They are masters of dessert, of flavor and flair-- A deliciously mischievous treasure tucked away there.

    We went to Better Than Sex after eating a full meal at Duffy's right in front, so there wasn't much…read moreroom left in us. But oh man was it amazing. An extremely unique ambience and decoration. But it's not too much or too little. The seating is comfortable and private. Our server was very nice, he checked in at all the right times and was sweet. We only ordered one dessert and it got there promptly. Everything on the menu looked excellent and delicious. We settled on the cookie nookie cake, it was super fresh with many contrasting flavors that made every bite a pleasure. Overall had an amazing time and recommend this place for anything from a late night dessert or a full dessert meal. If we're ever around again, we are definitely going back and trying a lot more than just one dessert.
