KEY WEST, Florida Keys — The "Must Do" List of The Very Best of Key West
Whether you're short on time or simply looking for the ultimate Key West experience, Party in Key West has the inside scoop on the very best the island has to offer. Whatever your vacation plans, the list below can help save you time and money during your Key West trip by taking you straight to the top of every must-do list out there.



THE BEST OF THE BEST IN KEY WEST FOR 2017


Best People-Watching: Duval Crawl
A stroll down Key West's most famous street is practically a sociological investigation in itself. Street performers, eccentric locals, and drunken revelers are just the tip of the iceberg. The Duval Crawl, a tour and drink sampling of the bars along Duval, will give you plenty to watch - maybe even more than you bargained for! 

Best People-Meeting: Southernmost Scavenger Hunt
The Scavenger Hunt has all the fun of a Pub Crawl with the excitement of a Scavenger Hunt. This adult only event focuses on the more uninhibited side of Key West. It’s a whirlwind adventure around some of our most well known watering holes and hidden local hotspots – think of it as the “Duval Crawl” with a twist!  More Info on the Scavenger Hunt.

Coldest Beer in Key West: The Tiki Hut at Caroline's
Caroline's is an all-outdoor bar right at the heart of Duval. Its square, thatched-roof bar sits practically on Duval's sidewalk and consistently lures thirsty travelers with the irresistible temptation of ice-cold bottled brews. Don't feel like hanging out? Pour your beer in a cup and keep on strolling. More Info

Best Happy Hour: Conch Republic Seafood Company
You can't beat icy cold beer and their buy 1 get 1 free! They also have well drinks and good house wines with the same discount. They have live music with talented locals singing island music. There's always a crowd, so you know it's going to be a fun time. They have amazing appetizers and great happy hour prices. Not to mention, the view from the bar is quite amazing. It's a local and tourist favorite place to go for happy hour and then dinner after (the fish is locally caught and fresh and delicious!). It's a must-go!  More information on the Conch Republic Seafood Company


Best Bloody Mary: Blue Heaven
A Bloody Mary is one of the best hangover cures (we've heard). The best Bloody Mary in Key West is at Blue Heaven, a laid-back spot on Thomas St. with live music twice a day. You don't even have to wait for lunch - Blue Heaven is open for breakfast and Sunday brunch! You just gotta have it! More Info on Blue Heaven

Fun-est Bar: Irish Kevin's
The biggest nightly party in Key West is definitely at Irish Kevin's on Duval. Located near the north end of Duval, Irish Kevin's is a hot spot for locals and visitors alike. Single girls, be on the lookout for local Coasties and Seamen - Irish Kevin's is a popular military bar too! Find Fun Bars In Key West.

Best Live Music: The Green Parrot
The Green Parrot is more than a bar; it is a Key West icon; it is Key West. It has been so many things, to so many people, for so many years. And that spirit will never change. The Parrot is a jury of non-judging peers, a rugged and ragged council of friends. It is a place of hi-jinks and misadventures, of understated kindnesses, and everyday miracles. It has seen all manner of human exploits, from poetry slams to divorce celebrations, from memorial services to hurricane parties and pet birthday bashes, from tattoo contests to fundraising benefits. Oh, and they always have the best bands. Catch the warm up at 6:30pm, go have dinner and then come back for the live shows at 9pm.

Best Beach: Fort Zachary Taylor
Key West isn't known for it's beaches, but we do have a few nice ones. So throw on your swimsuit, and don't forget sunscreen, and head to Fort Zack. More Info On Things To Do

You don't have to totally disrobe, but hey, why not at least get a little ... topless?
