Don't get me wrong - this is one of the many great bars to get "Duval faced" in Key West. However, the bar is low-ceilinged (yet eccentric), the service is slow, the drinks are so-so, the music at this time was good. It's claim to fame as the original Sloppy Joe's, and Hemingway's hangout.....the bras and business cards that span... more

Good place to get a drink. It's a bar, a famous bar, and that's that. They had their own Amber, which is on draft and pretty good. We had a few beers here and listened to a good local cover band. The collection of bras on the ceiling is fun to look at, as is all of the local flair... more

Walking into Captain Tony's, we were surprised and delighted at the insanity on the walls. Business cards have been stapled to the walls one after the other over many, many decades; women have hung bras from the ceiling, an infinite number of license plates are posted...but even better: The drinks, the staff and the LIVE MUSIC that plays at all... more

Lots of fun. We ended up here on our first night in town. Good live band. Classy joint... the beer was served in cans. Looks like a jail cell inside, but it works! Added entertainment: try to throw a coin in the fish's mouth at the entrance. more

In any other town, I would consider a place like Capt. Tony's Saloon a dingy heap to be avoided. But for some reason, in Key West, it just WORKS. Capt. Tony's is like no other place I've been in, for good or bad. The entire bar from floor to ceiling is covered in old lingerie, junkyard finds and business cards... more

Yes indeed, there are thousands of business cards and a whole lot of bras on the ceiling. Drink special, Pirate’s Punch, was a good value—tasty and a good pour. It’s pretty dark in the bar even though it is open air in front. more

It's just a cool place to hang and listen to a band or a local guitarist. And, if you're lucky, you just may meet Captain Tony as we did last week. You need to go here,seriously! more

Captain Tony's is a must see.... The place definitely has character! Wonderful piece of history with the tree and gravestone , the skeleton behind the bar, the multitudes of bras and business cards that adorn walls, ceilings, everywhere! The bartenders are great, local musicians keep the place lively with great tunes, and you might even meet Captain Tony himself. more

The Captains Punch should not be missed. Come prepared to leave your own memories on the wall, ceiling, etc. We hit this place everyday/night. You will find a tree alive and growing through the roof, a tombstone and more. I hope I have peaked your interest! more
