Old Town Tavern & Beer Garden - Key West (FL)

4 /5 Pat Stix: Great spot with outdoor seating. Good people watching. Our server was excellent. She reminded us that happy hour was ending in a few minutes when we arrived so we wouldnt miss out. Tuna poke bowl appetizer was a ten out of ten. The short rib was crispy and hot with good heat on the pepper sauce. The meat was a bit under seasoned for our taste. We shared the fish and chips which offered two large pieces with tons of steak style fries. It was served with a very nice remoulade. The dish was hot and fresh but a tad greasy, for our taste. The hefeweizen and hazy IPA were cold and delicious. The dishes around us looked abundant and well prepared. The service was fast and very pleasant. Everyone was having fun. Old Town Tavern is worth a visit for sure.

5 /5 Magen O: We had an excellent visit to Old Town Tavern & Beer Garden on Duval Street. The Fish & Chips with Smithwick’s Ale-battered grouper were hands down the best I’ve ever had. The batter was perfectly crisp, the fish was fresh and flaky, and the fries were hearty and well seasoned. Absolutely worth ordering!!! We also tried the Grilled Greek Salad with romaine, feta, olives, cucumber, tomato, and citrus vinaigrette. Even though we didn’t really taste or see the “grilled” aspect, it was still a flavorful and refreshing salad that paired nicely with the heartier fish and chips. Another highlight was the Blue Chair Bay Key Lime Colada, served on the rocks. It was smooth, creamy, and delicious. Even though it tasted more like a traditional piña colada than something uniquely “key lime,” it was easily the best one I had during my time in Key West! Darker cherries were a nice touch. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and it’s also dog friendly as you can see from one of my photos our pup appears in. They kindly brought water for him and made sure he was comfortable (dogs do have to stay leashed on the floor). All in all, Old Town Tavern delivered excellent food, great drinks, excellent service and a welcoming vibe. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in Key West.

1 /5 Alina Yarovenko: do not recommend this place to anyone. There is absolutely no customer service and no care for guests. We drove all the way from Miami hoping to spend some quality time with friends, but instead were treated very poorly. There was a table for four in the corner, and we agreed to share it. However, the manager decided to ask us to leave simply because the table was “only for four people,” with no effort to accommodate us or handle the situation politely. A little kindness and a smile go a long way, but unfortunately, that was completely missing here. If a business cannot treat its visitors with basic respect, it should seriously reconsider being open at all.

5 /5 RLR RLR: Stopped in on a Monday around 6pm for Happy hour. The pork belly appetizer was great and the beer was cold and refreshing. Also excited they had many nonalcoholic options on the menu so I didnt have to ask a million questions. Wish I could stay up till 11pm to do late night Happy hour! Our waitress was nice and quick!
