    This place is low key a gem in Key West. It’s just off Duval, so it’s out of all the riff raff. They have a pretty good selection of beer as well. I stopped here 2 times while in Key West. 1st time was later at night and the bartender brought in his Golden Retriever dog. Don’t remember the bartenders name but he was super nice. Finn, the dog was great, made me miss my dogs back home. 2nd time I came in, we had another great bartender. We came in mid afternoon for a few more beers. The vibe is really laid back here which is a nice change of pace from the rest of Key West. The service again, was great and the beers are relatively cheap. I’m definitely coming back.

    Agreed with other visitors that this place has the best beer selection in Key West, even compared to the local Waterfront Brewery taproom just down the street. Draft beer list updated every few days - you can come here multiple days on a weeklong trip and have different pours each time.

    What a great place! Fantastic selection of beers and a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks that aren't just pop. The folks that run the place are super nice too. If you are looking for a place that's so loud you can't hear yourself think, this ain't it! I highly suggest stopping by.

    In a town with bars that literally date back to the 19th century (nearby Green Parrot opened in 1890 and Capt Tony's just down the street is the oldest bar in FLA), Bearded Lady is a Key West newcomer. But an awesome newcomer! Right off Duval on Southard St, around the corner from Mile Marker Zero, and walking distance from anywhere in Old Town. Awesome draft and can selection and even awesomer people (shout out to Landon and BDS)! One of our most frequent haunts while bar-hopping one of the bar-hoppiest spots in the universe! No food, but several awesome joints nearby to grab a bite and bring in some take-out to go with your favorite brews (I highly recommend Frida's and/or The Jerk just down the street or Big Cheezees right across the street). And as an added bonus, the Bearded Lady has the cleanest restroom on the island, maybe in the entire Keys!
