The Key West bar stroll is a sponsored promotion to introduce visitors to the buzzing bar scene. It ranks as one of the best value deals going. For a mere thirty bucks, visitors get a free-drinks passport that gives them to a promotional drink at any five local salons. They also get a free T-shirt.
The passport can be obtained at the Island Welcome Centre situated in Mallory Square. The square is the heart of the downtown area. They will also throw in free T-shirt to make sure all drinkers are suitably casual!
The approved drinks include beer, wine, well (health) drink or your choice of any of five Bacardi rum cocktails. These include rum punch, rum runner, tropical storm, bluefish or mojito. Half the fun is discovering what is mixed with rum in each drink. The five participating bars are Red Fish Blue Fish, Fogartys, Carolines Cafe, Jack Flats and Mangoes. Each bar has its own unique character and special charms.
Once you have picked up your passport, Mallory Square is as good a place as any to kick-off the bar stroll. Red Fish Blue Fish is on the square, immediately next to the deep water harbor that has so much shaped the development of the island.
The history of the square is a rich and colourful canvas painted by frigates, wrecking schooners, US Navy warships, fishing boats and trawlers, tobacco warehouses owned by Cuban cigar barons, ship chandeliers and government customs offices as well as prickly pirates, brazen buccaneers and a long litany of shady characters.
In summary, ditch the dress code and loosen up the attitude. When you hit the island, head for Mallory Square and get your Key West bar stroll passport. It will get you into the right state of mind and allow you to dig deeper into island history. Key West Bar Stroll
