About this business
Once a morgue and later an ice-house, this lively spot is one of the city's most popular bars and is said to have been the original Sloppy Joe's, entertaining author Ernest Hemingway. Jimmy Buffet sang here for a while in the beginning of his career and now live bands play nightly, who knows, perhaps you will hear the next Buffet. Stop by for a drink, or just to take a look at the "Hanging Tree," located inside the bar.

fish throw – throw a quarter in the air and try to land in the fish mouth is a fun drinking game and they have their own beer you can only get there it’s the first bar ever in Florida petty cool if in the keys check it ok am not saying it’s the best bar in the world but captain tony is a place you at least go to once and drink a beer
Disappointed – As a local yacht Captain, I was drawn to Captain Tony's Saloon from a historical perspective. I TRIED to be a regular there. Even after several months, the bar tenders kept asking me "So, where are you from?". The drink portions are smaller and are extremely watered down compared to many other locations in Key West. The staff pretty much had this careless attitude about who you are, or if you have been waiting 10 minutes for a refill. The 'regulars' there are actually quite rude and stand-offish towards any at... read more
Captain Tonys Saloon Owned by an incredible man with an amazing history! He still visits quite often too. Cozy and comfortable atmosphere, entertaining one man bands every day and great drinks. The music, the staff, the laid back Key West feeling is indescribable! In the heart of Key West and a Must Visit place when you are there.
Capt. Tony's is a Key West Icon and not to be missed. – I've been a regular at Capt. Tony's for at least the past 9 years at the annual Fantasy Fest celebration and Capt. Tony's was chosen by the "Krewe" I belong to for our nightly hosting and get-togethers. This is due to the friendly, helpful and fun people working there plus it's nice to see Capt. Tony sitting in his chair near the door of the gift shop welcoming people. I always get my chest signed by the Capt. when I get bodypainted in Key West for Fantasy Fest and ther... read more
A true piece of Key West – Where do you start? This place has so much to look at, an incredible history and Captain Tony is still around! Great rumrunners and great people. Entertainment is wonderful too. Don't forget to try to pitch your coins into the mouth of fish on your way out!...Have to stand backwards though.
User review by whitfield00 – This place is one of a kind! I was down there in Aug of 2004 and meet Capt. Tony on his 80th birthday party! That man is a legend on KW! I think by far Capt Tony's is the funnest bar on the islands!
Best Rumrunner in the world! – This place is one of my very favorite! Just the thought of those awesome Rumrunners have helped me get through 190 days of teaching 1st grade! I can't wait to get back there... It is heaven on Earth!
tons to see – This place is great. Conversations can get a kick start just by looking around. Tons of stuff on the walls and even more interesting sights hanging over the bar. There's a grave stone in the middle of the place though so you've been warned.
Only the best – Captain Tony's is the real deal, drinks and entertainmet. Check out Taz she is one talented lady. People watch, drink and be entertained. No doubt why Buffett imortalized this place in a song!
