Great atmosphere!! As small as the bar is the drinks aren't cheaper but I had a great time. Worth a try if you are in the area. The bartender had some really really good jokes so that was awesome!

Fun idea, but super unfriendly. Not worth voting with my wallet to reward an a$$hole bartender

How utterly fun. This reads a small bar as you can see from the pictures. Friendly bartender and a cool experience for sure.

Should be called the nastiest bar in Key west. After ordering one beer and one mixed drink the bartender who should not be bartending a lemonade stand chargers me 16 dollars and that was the exact amount I had in cash left. Then he tells me I have to put some love in his tip jar. I told him that was my last dollar he replies do you think I'm working for free. And told me I should go somewhere else. Here is your tip a hole you should get a new job even if I had more cash on me I wouldn't give it to you. Save your money and go to local places while in key west this place is a pit with crappy

The Bartender was so rude and arrogant I've gone here every trip the Key west but no more! He actually gave us the finger I was able to take a picture I think he was putting on a nice little show for the people sitting there I was appalled

Small bar with a big heart. The owners son was an incredible bartender. Go in for good times and great conversation.

Was a waste of my time and desire to go when I finally could go. I asked for an old fashion and the kid making the drinks asked "what's that?" Proceeded to encourage me and my better half to get a key lime flavored drink. Tasted terrible and didn't even finish it. By the way $24 dollars was not worth the effort. Go to a distillery and put that $24 towards some damn good rum.

I would give it zero stars if it was an option! The owner was a real
a-hole! If the concept of the bar is to be offended, then well done. Too many awesome bars to go to in Key West. Perhaps he should go back to Jersey.

I don't think Sherry J and the few leaving poor reviews get the concept of this place. Fun, off-color, alcohol simplified. If you're easily offended, don't enter. That simple. John from Jersey is the best bartender in Key West and a laugh riot. Don't order whimpy drinks, don't get your panties in a bunch about comments, just roll with the punches and soak in a great experience!!

This was awkward. We walked 15 minutes to get to this bar specifically. When we got there, no one was there. We waited about 10 minutes and then were about to leave when 8 more people walked in. They were older, loud, obnoxious and drunk. Just then the bartender walked in and the drunk people started yelling at him for not being there to serve them. He yelled back and told them to leave. The drunk people were swearing at him and he said he was calling the police. At first we thought this was a joke but when we realized it wasn't. Apparently he was on a break which is fine, but it would

The Smallest Bar in Key West - a walk up window. CAUTION: they are CASH only! They do have a sign but it's small....

Nevertheless always a fun pitstop in your Duval crawl. This little spot probably holds 8 people in it before youre pouring out onto Duval.

Best practice, roll up there with your cash, buy a shot or beer and keep it moving!

C'mon dawwg!!!! I had to stop by this little gem that was on the strip. Yes it is the Smallest Bar yet it's fully stocked. This concept is straight up genius, basically located in an alley way between two other businesses .Stopped here because the Lady walked in a store or two.. so it was time to grab an IPA and smoke a stogie. The place is so cool.... you met a few cool people by default.

I adore this place. Yes, indeed, it's the smallest bar and don't expect fruity or fancy drinks. Beer, wine, simple mixed. But, it's great and it's an experience. There are about 4-5 seats, but come on it and crowd in. You'll meet everyone else and soon you'll have new friends from all over -- or from your own town. When we were there, there were three people from Boston, so we had old home week.

The bartender is snarky and funny and fun.

A definite stop!

Yes, this is the smallest bar in Key West, and it is awesome. There are only about four seats in this open air bar, which makes this a cozy time indeed.

The service here is spot on, and the bartender is a wizard at Key Lime shots. Yum! It really is a cool spot to take a break from some of Duval's craziness. However, the fan/ac situation can be a little rough, but a cool drink should help fight the heat.

The Smallest Bar is fun, cute, cool, unique, and has the best afternoon bartender. We had a drink and chatted with he and other guests. We walked past the place numerous times during our KW stay, and always waved and got a greeting back.

A must see.

This place is so cute and is literally a hole in the wall! The smallest bar I've ever seen! My friend and I went up to order a drink and that's pretty much the extent of how many people will fit here at once . Our husbands waited outside while we got our drinks!

I had to come here to order the famous pineapple drinks because this is the only bar in the area I could find them at! The were quite delicious. A little pricey for my taste but I guess it's normal for the area and once you see the extent of Work he put into making them! It was a process so the price was worth it. We watched

This walk up hole in the wall is a must stop on your crawl down Duval. The sheer size alone ensures you will meet and strike up a conversation with people who have the same agenda from around the world so relax and enjoy.

This brilliant concept has always been an attraction to those visiting Key West and don't let the size fool you, they are pretty creative when it come to satisfying your need for alcoholic beverages whether you stop in for a quick drink before continuing you tour of paradise or decide to hangout and people watch it's a bucket list item.
