  • The Best of NileGuide
  • The fun in Key West doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Some even argue that that's when it starts. Bars, clubs, lounges and live music venues-it's all reason for us to put our dancing shoes on and raise to toast to Key West. Will you join in?

    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 Key West's Old Town district, but - paradoxically - the scene really heats up once the sun goes down. After the nightly sunset celebration at Mallory Square, many party-minded people head for lively Duval Street and the waterfront Historic Seaport.

    he settings are as varied as the drink offerings. Revelers might sip a tall cool drink at an outdoor bar on Lower Duval overlooking the colorful panorama of the island's most famous thoroughfare, wander into a sultry jazz club or wine bar, or pull up a barstool at a seaport tavern where regular patrons' canine companions enjoy their own "cocktails" - bowls of ice water.
