Imagine
if you will a vortex of the the
alpha and the omega,
of the real
and the surreal,
of the sublime and the key lime.
This ain't no disco. It ain't no country
club either.

Let's Begin With Tips & Suggestions For Your
Duval Street Crawl |
|
Did
You Know?
Duval Street is a little over
a Mile Long and runs from the Gulf to the Atlantic
Ocean |
DUVAL
STREET CRAWL STARTING POINT
Start
on the "lower" end where
Duval Street begins near Mallory Square.
Did

Square and Duval Street
Waterfront
near Mallory Square on Duval Street which
is found upper left on the Map linked above. Shouldn't
the Duval Street Crawl start at 0 Duval
Street? A great place to start is at the Sunset
Pier. Good food and good drinks. Beautiful
waterfront views. The place is very casual
and the menu has something for everybody. Eat
and or Drink and start your Duval Street Crawl
from here.
Or
start your Duval Street Crawl at the world famous
and historic Chart Room Bar in The Pier
House at 1 Duval Street. Jimmy Buffett
and Bob Marley both played there in the 70's.
Mel Fisher spent many a day there. Now that I
think about it, start at the Chart
Room Bar. A lot
of atmosphere and character at that bar. You will
not be disappointed. Please visit our Chart
Room Bar web page. Thanks.
Hog's Breath Saloon is our next stop from there.

|
Did
You Know?
Hog's Breath is mostly open air and is famous for
their Raw Bar & Top Entertainment
|
HOG'S
BREATH SALOON - Open Until 4 a.m.
Duval
Street 100 block and 400 Front Street www.hogsbreath.com
Hog's
Breath Stage Cam
Hog's
Breath is also a good place to start the Duval Street
Crawl. Try
a Key Lime Pie Shooter!
They
are great here and taste just like a Key Lime Pie,
you can even taste the graham cracker!
Great
entertainment afternoon and evening. Very good
Raw Bar and very good food. Oysters are
always very good and well chilled. Open air for
the most part, a must see.
Buy
a shirt! Some of the best colorful shirt
designs to be had in Key West are here.
Very well stocked gift shop. Hog's Breath would
also make a good starting point for the Duval
Street Pub Crawl. One way or another be sure to
visit Hog's Breath Saloon and the gift shop!
The
Hogs Breath Saloon is a must see and must be experienced!
Have
another Key Lime Pie Shooter or a half dozen raw
oysters. Our Hog's
Breath Saloon Web Page
When
ready to leave, head to the Duval Street exit
and head to Captain Tony's Saloon, which is on
this side of Duval Street at 428 Greene Street
(you can't miss the yellow paint). On
to Capt. Tony's Saloon!

Did
you know?
An old pirate hanging tree grows through the roof
of Capt. Tony's Saloon
|
CAPT.
TONY'S SALOON Open
Late
428
Greene Street - 1/2 Block Off Duval Street, across
from Sloppy Joe's. On Our Duval Street Crawl list!
www.capttonyssaloon.com
The
original Sloppy Joe's Bar (1933 -1937) during
most of Ernest Hemingway's time in Key West.
It
has to be experienced. Check out the old pirate
hanging tree growing through the roof and the grave
marker at it's base over near the gift shop. May as
well buy a shirt while you are at the gift shop. At
one time this was among other things an ice house,
morgue and funeral home. I was told the undertaker's
daughter is buried under the pool tables. The Saloon
is said to be haunted. Find out for yourself!
In fact, Capt. Tony's Saloon is a stop on most
Key
West Ghost Tours. It is the last
stop on this 1.5 - 2 hours long
Private Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour.
BYOB alcohol and snacks are allowed on the Private
Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour!
Jimmy
Buffett played here before he became world famous
and mentions Capt. Tony's in Last Mango in
Paris. Jimmy made a difference in millions
of lives and touched many souls. It took one man's
incredible talent and vision. Think
about that. May
Jimmy Rest in Peace.
Again,
this Saloon is just off Duval Street not far from
Hog's Breath (2 blocks on the same side of Duval)
and Sloppy Joe's, (about a half block away on
the other side of Duval). Please leave a business
card or a bra (many
bras and G strings hang from the ceiling)
and be sure to take notice
of the water marks from Hurricane Wilma and other
hurricanes.
Side
Note: We were in Key West just days before Wilma hit.
Two days later the Key West web sites had pictures
of the water level on Duval Street.
Lots of history here at Captain Tony's Saloon.
Lots of Spirits too. Ask the bartenders if the
place is haunted. A must visit on the Duval Street
Crawl!
Check
out our Capt.
Tony's Web Page that I put together
for pictures of the pirate hanging tree, grave
marker, more pictures of the Capt. and in depth
stuff about Capt. Tony's. The original Sloppy
Joe's!
Capt.
Tony's Saloon is also a stop on this
Bone Island Haunted Crawl and Ghost Tour.
From here
cross Duval Street and head to Sloppy Joe's
Bar! On the corner of Greene and
Duval Street. |

Jimmy Buffett arrived in Key West in 1971 and was
soon playing at Capt. Tony's Saloon

Days Are Held Every July Around The Time Of Papa's
Birthday

SLOPPY
JOE'S BAR - OPEN UNTIL 4 a.m. DAILY!
201
Duval Street www.sloppyjoes.com
World
Famous. For good reasons. Always a good time .Always
good entertainment on the Stage. An icon on Duval
Street, you can't miss it. A Duval Street legendary
Bar to enjoy more than one adult beverage.
Check
out the items on the walls, discover the barrel
table where Hemingway sat, and become immersed
in history. Then go buy a T-Shirt. Before you
get distracted by more tropical libations, great
bar tenders and their trivia and the great music.
Try a Hemingway Daiquiri or Papa Doble while there
at Sloppy Joe's.
Here
are some Papa
Doble and Hemingway Daiquiris recipes
for when you get home and want a drink to remind
you of the fun you had in Key West on Duval Street
and in Old Town. Our Sloppy
Joe's Bar web page.
The
Papa Hemingway Look Alike contest is held in July
around the time of Papa Hemingway's birthday.
My
personal favorite is the Pictures with the Papa's.
It takes place Saturday morning in the "Bull
Pen" which is located at the Greene Street
side entrance of the Bar.
This
is where those pretty ladies brave enough to mount
the "Bull" pose for their picture with the
Papas. Usually with exotic tropical beverage in hand.
Our
sign said "I Survived Hemingway Days 2010".
That's me on the left (her right).
A party all day and all night long at Sloppy Joe's
Bar on that Saturday! Pictures
Here.
There
are many Hemingway theme tours
available. The
Hemingway Food & Drink Walking Tour
is one of the best. This is a great way to see
the Hemingway Home and world famous cats before
the tour starts. The Hemingway Home front
gate is the Tour's starting point.
Click
the No Obligation link for available dates, times,
prices, menu and more details.
You
will see where he kept his boat Pilar, the places
he liked hanging out, the original Sloppy Joe's,
and much more. Check out our Hemingway

Stage
Cam (You
may have to scroll down)
Irish
Kevin's is Open 11am - 3:30 a.m.
The Duval Street Crawl is not complete without a stop
at Irish Kevin's. You may not want to
leave, it is so much fun! "Come on
in" and be prepared to be picked on. If you see a
rubber chicken on the sidewalk at the door be sure
to follow it inside! Fun entertainers! This place
can get raunchy, but it is all in good fun.
Great selection of draft and bottles. OPEN LATE!
My
favorite entertainer at Irish Kevin's
is New York Pauly.
If the guy on stage is NY Pauly, and he asks where
you are from, say New Jersey
and see what happens! Try to schedule a
visit to Irish Kevin's when NY Pauly is playing
on your Duval Street Crawl. If you miss him come
back when he is playing!
A real fun guy! Look at that stage filled with patrons.
This is usually my place to hang out and have raunchy
fun!
In
fact, when I mentioned to NY Pauly in October
2016 that it was our 30th Anniversary he invited
both Terri and I on stage First was the Beer Drinking
Contest. I won (2.7 seconds). Then
NY Pauly instructed us for some R rated fun. We
had a blast thanks to NY Pauly.

Most
folks are skeptical of stopping here to get drinks,
as most frozen drinks elsewhere can be sugary. Believe
me, these are nicely balanced, and
very refreshing on a hot day or evening.
Stop by during your Duval Street Crawl for a delicious
cold drink with an extra shot or floater.
Very
large selection and a bartender can help
you decide if needed. All the bartenders are friendly,
and their great service, personalities and hospitality
is what will keep you coming back! Enjoy the mister
fans. Fun and bustling bar with an outdoor feel
to it. Very nice menu as well.
I have never heard any complaints here.
Please visit our Flying
Monkey Saloon web page (in development).
They
offer bottles and cups with reduced price refills.
You get to the bar by entering through the restaurant.
Next stop on Duval Street, Fat Tuesday for
more Frozen Drinks? Or to the Hard Rock Cafe? Decisions,
decisions. |

Did
You Know? Same
GREAT Fat Tuesday frozen drinks as the Fat Tuesday
in New Orleans

be had here with your old and new friends! Bartenders
are GREAT!
Did
I mention they make great Frozen Drinks here?

Fat Tuesday. Print these Fat

You
really should stop by during your Duval Pub Crawl
and get a feel for this place. Don't get a brain
freeze! Then stumble on over to the Hard
Rock Cafe. |
|
Did
You Know? The
only Haunted Hard Rock Cafe in the World is in a Haunted
Mansion in Key West
|
HARD ROCK
CAFE
313 Duval
Street www.hardrockcafe.com/location/key-west/
The
only haunted Hard Rock Cafe in the World!
The Key West Hard Rock Cafe
is located in an authentic
old haunted mansion right on Duval Street.
Great Bartenders and Great Food which
is the case just about everywhere along Duval Street.
The atmosphere is like being in a haunted museum.
Go upstairs. There was a Beatles Room the last time
I was there (2016).
Remember
you are in an old haunted mansion, you never know
what may happen. For real. It is on most of the
Key West ghost tour
lists, although some tours just pass it by or
stop out front. Go in for an adult beverage, and
sit at the bar if you can. Ask your bar tender
about flying beer glasses and other paranormal
activity. Please visit our
Hard
Rock Cafe web page in
development.
Check
out this Top Notch haunted ghost tour. Private
Haunted History Guided Walking Ghost Tour .
Or our web page listing some fun and some scary
Key West Ghost Tours. Getting
hungry yet? . Wendy's can be the
next stop on your Duval Street Crawl. |
Did
You Know?
Even the locals eat at Wendy's. Open 8:30 a.m. and
closes 1 a.m. (2 a.m. Friday)
|
WENDY'S
KEY WEST - Open Late
335
Duval Street
Got the munchies? Wendy's
to the rescue! Wendy's is right on Duval
Street not far from the haunted Hard Rock Cafe. Cheaper
and hopefully faster service than getting a burger
at other places along Duval Street. If you are hungry
this is the place. The locals eat here.
Maybe you should consider eating here too.
Wendy's
is open 8:30 until 1 a.m. (Friday until 2 a.m.) Their
number: 305-296-5770
Stop
in and experience this Key West version of Wendy's
Old Fashioned Hamburgers. I usually get the chili
or a single cheese burger. Then back to
the Haunted Hard Rock Cafe for more Ghost Stories
and more drinks?
Did
You Know?
Willie T's - 525 Duval Street, is a fun locals
hangout and is open late! |
Or to Willie T's for a great Burger and Fries? And
of course more drinks. And good live music. From
the Hard Rock or Wendy's It is only two blocks up
Duval Street on this side at 525. You can't miss
it. Always fun and always good entertainment at
Willie T's. Morning, Noon, and Night. Our Willie
T's web page.
Go
to Willie T's! It's a local's bar!
Ask
about their daily drink specials!
Plus
their menu is varied and probably has whatever
you are in the mood for. The food is very well
prepared and delivered to your table by friendly
servers who appreciate you stopping by.
|
Did
You Know?
You can cruise Duval Street in you Scoot Coupe!
4 Hours to 1 Week Rentals!
|
If
this is your first visit to Key West, make OId Town
your destination. Try to stay in Old Town if possible.
That way you are never far from your lodging, and
are probably able to stumble back there without
any hassle. You will find the many World Famous
Duval Street Bars and Pubs in Old Town.
Many
of them are haunted. Most of Key West is haunted.
Ghost
Tours!
But
wait! There's more! Click on over to learn more
cool In
Depth Information about
Whitehead Street., and Old
Town!
On
Whitehead St. you will find the 0
Mile Marker, Green
Parrot Bar, Hemingway
Home & Museum with the six toed
kitties, Key West Lighthouse and Museum, the U.S.
Post Office, Southernmost
Point (90 Miles to Cuba), and more.
You will see and hear a lot of these roosters around
Old Town! I think the
roosters are cool to have around and
add to the funky character of Key West!
|
|
There
are so many good bars and eateries on this side of Duval
Street (Sloppy Joe's, Irish Kevin's, Flying Monkeys,
Fat Tuesday, Hard Rock Cafe, Willie T's ) that you
can have a great time with the Duval Street Crawl on
this side of the street. Willie T's is a very
cool place on the 500 Block of Duval Street a short
walk from the Hard Rock Cafe. You will also find Margaritaville
at 500 Duval Street across the street from Willie T's.
Why did the tourist cross the Street? For a Cheeseburger
in Paradise and to get some cool shirts!
Whoever
said you have to do the Duval Street Crawl all in one
day or night? Find a happening bar (my bet is
it will be Irish Kevin's, Sloppy Joe's or Willie T's)
and hang around and have fun! Duval Street will still
be there. Tackle the rest of the Duval Street Crawl
another day.
Have
fun on Duval Street doing the Crawl! Cheers!
Burt
Duval
Street always has something going on to entertain you!
It's not a Carnival but it's not a Circus either. Somewhere
in between. Especially after the Sun goes down. A visit
to Duval Street is a must do when visiting Key West,
Florida.
Even
if you only visit a few bars you will have fun meeting
friendly bartenders and making new friends, doing some
shopping at the shops between bars, and maybe learn
some Old Town history that you were not aware of.

Important
Tip: In Key West
THERE IS An Open
Container Law. It is hardly ever enforced
unless it becomes necessary. I have only seen
it enforced twice in more than a dozen visits
to Key West.
Please
don't get over served on your Duval Street Pub
Crawl!
Avoid
the Hassle of spending time in the Key West Jail
instead of on your Vacation. Don't be THAT GUY!
