Key West's nightlife is characterized by the rhythms of reggae, salsa and island rock spilling from the open doorways of clubs and saloons ... the whirr of a blender and the faint tang of lime as a bartender concocts a perfect frozen margarita ... the laughter and clink of glasses as new friends at a palm-shaded courtyard bar toast the evening's promise.

Happy hour is popular at establishments throughout the Florida Keys, but - paradoxically - the scene really heats up once the sun goes down. After the nightly sunset best viewed at Marathon's Old Seven Mile Bridge, many party-minded people head for waterfront eateries and tiki huts for some tall cool ones.

All over the {0} nightly settings are as varied as the drink offerings. Revelers might sip a tall cool drink at an outdoor bar or pull up a barstool at a tiny sports tavern where regular patrons along with their canine companions enjoy their own "cocktails" - bowls of ice water. The {0} are very pet friendly and four-legged friends are welcome to imbibe. We've found some of our favorites for live music, happy hours, sunset views and laughs around the barstools.
