This place is super cool and eclectic. Filled with old chains, graves, the Hanging Tree and an assortment of patrons dollars and bras. Great live music as early as noon.If youre looking for craft cocktails, go elsewhere, but if you want a cheap, cold beer in a super interesting atmosphere this is your place!!

Must go to key west!!!! Great pirate punch!!!! And the bartenders and doorman are top notch!

This place is amazing. Great people and strong drinks. The dungeon was a highlight for us.

So much fun! Dollar bills and bras stapled to the ceiling. What a fun place!

Best bar I have been to here. The door guy is awesome funny and over all charming. The music and food makes this place a fund time over all.

A great place to stop at and have a few drinks, a long history here in Key West Florida, a must stop.

Its a bar. Has the hanging tree in it. Thats about it.

Great place with live rock music and decent priced beer. Refills slightly cheaper. Possible to play pool.

Great live music. One of the most iconic and historic bars in Key West. Love their Captain Tonys draft beer.

We were pleasantly surprised at the ability to shoot pool and smoke in the bar. The staff was friendly and great to chat with. The band playing at the time we stopped was great. It was a great divey bar to stop into while exploring the ins and outs of Duval Street. If we stop down in Key West we will definitely be visiting this bar again. I definitely recommend stopping by for some bar billiards and live music. Dont forget to look at all the pictures and history lining the walls. Look down and check out the tombstone as well.

Best. Bar. Ever. The Captain Tonys Amber draft is great. An Oasis of authenticity in a sea of touristy schlock!

Great food, prices, service, atmosphere... and PARANORMAL! We went to Captain Tonys a couple of times while we were in Key West. Once during the day, and back again later at night. The manager at the time was very informative about the paranormal activity that takes place within the bar. What a great experience at this historically haunted location. You can find out a full review of Captain Tonys on our blog site and YouTube channel.

Historic spot to shoot some pool and listen to great live music!

When people say the Keys and Jimmy Buffett ate synonymous with each other they arent lying. This is where he got his start and where the song Last Mango in Paris is written about. If youre a parrot head, you have to stop here. If youre not (you should be) then you should still stop by here because the drinks are good, prices are right and its just a great atmosphere to begin with.

Go see for yourself! Greg laid it down

Ryan the bartender was friendly and amazing. I adored him. Best drinks & an even better vibe.

One of our favorites hang out places during our last visiting to Key West during the Christmas Holiday Season. Was not very busy and over crowded like its better known rival, with live music, a friendly bartender, gotta love all the license plates. Booyah!

If theres a song where Jimmy Buffett sings about it, then you know its gonna be a great dive bar. If youre in Key West and dont stop by Capt Tonys youre doing yourself a disservice. Yeah it may be the most touristy dive bar but it doesnt matter, I was born and raised in Florida, going down to the keys and I still make it a priority to stop in here for a drink and some live music.

Love this place! Drinks and staff are great and lots of history on the walls! Interesting place!

Go here. Have fun.

Not too nice here. Asking about their haunted bar. And got flack. They told me to go look at the bathroom

We got 2 drinks ( a beer and vodka drink) and our bill was $17.50. The specific bartender we dealt with was extremely rude and unprofessional. Every other place we visited on the island was upbeat and polite. I didn’t feel as though this experience was worthy of a tip due to lack of hospitality. Upon checking my bank account after the charge processed, I was still charged for a $10 tip I never left. Better watch your bank accounts and make sure they charge you what you actually leave as the total on the bill.

Awesome. Mitch the bartender is very nice best place in the world!!❤❤❤

This is a great bar to stop into while visiting Key West. The staff seemed friendly, and my drink was good! Theres a part of the bar where you can buy merchandise, too. This is not a fancy place, and I loved it! I will definitely stop in here again!

Awesome dive bar w history! Love this place

Always a great time drinking at captain tonys saloon. The entertainment was good as well that evening.

Great place for good music and tasty drinks. It seems like itd be a dive bar, but the staff and clientele make it otherwise. It was real neat to learn of the history of the place. Say hi to the Conch Clan and Gabe and Kim et al.

Great music and awesome drinks. Fun place and atmosphere.

Koool vibes.....

Dark bar with womens underwear and dollars on the wall, and a big tree with some history growing up out of the center. A lot to soak in for a small bar. Staff was on top of things. Ill be back next time.

Fun place. Great drinks and atmosphere. Fun and lively. Live music was great

Cool experience. I wish they had more scotch choices.

Great place to escape the heat in what I refer to as a Museum Bar! Check out the grave stone by the old hanging tree. Stolen from the cemetery by her husband and placed at Capn Tonys beer garden. Turns out he discovered after she was buried, that while he was out fishing for a living, she was meeting her lover at Tonys all the time! Love letters he found confirmed this, so he thought since she loved this place so much (after drinking all night), that her head stone belonged there..... true story. First bar in Florida to get an alcohol license!

Great key west bar. Dollars, pictures and business cards adorning the wall showing the history of tony and the people ahead of us. Laid back, good music and you always see someone you know! It was good enough for one off Hemingway’s hangouts and one of ours. Home base for the Krew during Fantasy Fest and our sponsor for the parade! The people there know how to have FUN!!❤️

Dont just come in and drink beer. Take the time to talk to people that live and work here. The history is incredible. Best bar in the Keys as far as Im concerned. Smokey and dark, just how I like it.

Had to go for some Pirate Punch. Its the best! Also, we tried our luck out front with the quarters and the fish. Did not win so maybe we should do that before we start drinking 😂😂😂.

Cool open atmosphere where you can see the the people walking out on the sidewalks! Nothing better than enjoying 83° weather on New Years Day night! Theres a lot to see on the walls & ceilings at Capt. Tonys Saloon, too. A large bar in the middle, live music, pool tables and pinball. Had a nice time!

Being from California I must say I was refreshed by the pricing. I ordered three drinks and the bartender said that will be 11 dollars. I assumed that meant per drink but Ive been wrong before. Local beer and all that but really it is one of the coolest dive bars Ive been in a long time. Definitely would recommend for a quick stop for a beer.

Cool place with lots of history. It’s a nice change to be in a bar without a tv in it. The house amber beer on draft is good and the large cups make for a nice souvenir. The music on Monday night was good. Loved all the old wood and masonry.

Great music on a Sunday night.

Awesome place ! Took a picture from the outside but forgot to take some inside! The history is priceless!

Bartender had an attitude. Ruined our vibe from the moment we walked in. How about hiring people that actually enjoy their jobs? Sloppy Joes up the street is way better IMO.

History, drinks and a little torture chamber room off to the side.... what more could you ask for!! Love this place and bought a t-shirt.

A must see! History rich. Live music. Friendly bartenders. Friendly atmosphere. Interesting place overall! Btw -- theres a large tree growing through the bar adding more unique character. Glad I can say that I stopped in, had a few, & kept my bra on at Capt. Tonys Saloon!

Our favorite bar when visiting key west. Great environment and the house beer is really good. They also have a good selection of gear to buy.

According to our guide at the Hemingway house, this USED to be the location for Sloppy Joe’s where he used to hang out.

A must stop for a drink, great atmosphere and history. Live band

If youre on a mission to have a good time in Key West, Captian Tonys Saloon should be a stop that you make. This old bar is an open-air old-timey blast. When you first walk in the door, youll notice how dark it is inside versus the bright Florida sun. After your eyes adjust, you think youre seeing things, namely all the cash lining the ceilings and walls, but I assure you, youre not. One favorite activity of the patrons is to attach $1 bills & business cards to the building. They attach them everywhere they can, even on top of other cards and other peoples money. There is another cool Tonys tradition: Feeding the fish. Above the entrance sign, there is a large fish with its mouth open. The thing to do is throw quarters at the fish with the goal being getting the $.25 piece in the mouth. Whar do you get when get it in? You get bragging rights and lots of high fives. And after all that fun, you can play some pool and enjoy the live music that they routinely have there. Dont forget to grab a tshirt on your way out so you can remember the shenanigans of Captain Tonys Saloon.

Cute, historic... dont forget to throw a quarter in the fishs mouth above the sign over your back for good luck!!!

This was the bar i went to after my first parasailing spree!!! Yeee!!! Deliciosa cerveza!

Dont go here. bartender was rude and locals dont want you there. its a tourist town they need to act like it. not worth it

Had a great time live music was really good.

Had a great timeThe original sloppy Joe’sI put the quarter in the fish mouth on fourth try!!!

A must when in Key West.

Staff was great! Live music was awesome!

Always down for a historic drive bar in a new town. I loved Captain Tonys so much, on our trip we went back for my birthday the next night. Live music, cool pool and pool tables; if ever in the area again I will be back!

This is my favorite bar in America - historic, perfect vibe, great music. It’s absolutely mandatory to stop here for a drink when you are in Key West.

Its just ok, worth experiencing once.

The pirate punch is awesome. Workers at the door are super friendly. Live music is great and they are not strict about masks. It felt like home!!

Great service. Loved the lights off. The music was perfect.

Excellent food and spirits...This is definitely a must see local bar. Popular, busy and fun. Live music on certain nights

Best place ever to cool off on duval street

Music and people are always fun.

Awesome bar. Hands down. Thats all you really need to say! There is nothing you can write that will help visualize your experience. If you are wanting to experience the Key West bar life, than this is the perfect place to go. The local artists singing nightly always strike the island/chill vibe. If you are drinking in Key West than PLEASE drink LOCAL~!

Love it here. great atmosphere and history-

Best place to get a drink in allnof Key West ( my opinion). The original Sloppy Joes and this is the building where Ernest Hemingway drank more then ever.Best Mojito I have ever had. Amazing rum punch!

Very cool spot. I got a captain Tonys Amber and it was decidedly decent. Great staff, and there was a dude playing good music. All in all very cool place, great vibe and good crowd.

Awesome atmosphere. Great drink options. Lives up to the hype.

F-ing awesome

What a shame...the current manager really has failed this bar. Have seen it go from a delightful, historic landmark to a dirty, grimy place. When we were there the manager was rude and condescending to guests, shouting at people and using profanity. It was terrible. Nearly everywhere else on Duval Street was packed...only a few at Capt Tonys. Our local friends told us that theyve stopped going there and that recently the reputation has plummeted. Shameful for such a historic place.

Capt . Tony was one of my best friends when I first got here in 1980.

When we come to Key West this is the ONLY Bar we come to. 😁

My favorite place in Key West. A really laid back spot to beat the heat. The history of the place is also fun to learn about.

Very cool bar. If you hit up key West and are by any means into the bars (I hope you are) hit up Captain Tonys. Theres a lot of neat history here and its just straight up a great time. It is surrounded by many good bars and festivities. The bar tenders are pretty amazing and good music. Scenery is amazing and very neat /unique. Give yourself a favor and make this a #1 stop!

Jack did a beautiful job! They have live music and great drinks. Jack makes a mean white tea and Bloody Marys.

Kinda a crusty bar...but a good vibe. Worth the visit!

Rich in Key West history this awesome drinking bar cant be missed. Read about it, then go and have a good time! Go live a little of what Jimmy Buffett si gs about!

No changes. Iconic experience and a must do in key west.

If u like the dive bar type places this is good

Great place, fun times! Great staff!

Loved have my dog treated like a customer. Great foods too.

Best bar in keywest. Visted 5 times

Kim & Dan from NJ DOGS TRAINING LLC enjoyed out drinks and entertainment here.

Good place to drink and question the sanitation of the decorations.

A pirate punch or two are a must. Love this place. You can leave a dollar, business card or a bra on the wall as a momento.

Crazy amazing super old dive bar. Definitely a must stop.

The least touristy tourist spot on the key. Live music, hard drinks, history dripping from the walls. Go and pay attention to where youre sitting.

This bar really was fun because of the foosball table and the live music.

This is a place you have to visit while in Key West. Captain Tony is gone but the memories and stories remain. The beer is always cold and the staff is friendly.

Great atmosphere and the two old guys in the band were excellent.

The best bar in the world, especially on a sunny summer day. Theres always enjoyable music from a variation of dude with a guitar. Be sure to get a pirate punch or 3 👌

Always a must stop in KW. Smoking permitted corner bar feel

Awesome place great people

Well what can you say Captain Tonys is the oldest bar in Key West. And with longevity... especially in a drinking town that is rich with written word and music ... It is also legendary. I did as Jimmy Buffet did many years ago, I went in to Captain Tonys to get out of the heat. The beer was cold, bartender friendly, and a beautiful lady was setting up to play music and entertain us all. The celling was papered in dollar bills and bras. There are a couple of stages, pool tables, bar stools, and some tables. It really is a must see for the Parrott Head, or a aficionado of Key West. I enjoyed my time there and Im sure you will to. Heck they are even dog friendly. The bartender poured a water for my little dog. I will stop in again.

Awesome place, with a great vibe. Went twice while in town!

A must stop

It has a lot of spooky history. Had a couple beers there. Friendly bartender and great music. Very dark inside.

If you come to the keys make sure visit the west.

Enjoyed the live music

Oldest bar in Florida cool atmosphere
