Got your lucky jersey? Good. Whether you’re rooting for your favorite football team, tracking your fantasy soccer league, or just in the mood for a killer Key Lime Martini while pretending you care about sports, Key West has you covered! This quirky little island punches way above its weight when it comes to sports bars. From rowdy pubs where you high-five strangers to laid-back spots with killer food (and drinks), there’s something for everyone.

Sports fanatic? Casual viewer? Just here for the beer? Doesn’t matter. Here’s a roundup of the absolute best sports bars in Key West. Grab a drink, and let’s get started.

1. Pickles Pub

This late-night legend keeps the party (and the games) going strong. Open from noon to 2 AM, Pickles Pub is THE spot for those who like their sports with a side of “I could stay here all night.” Bonus points for their late-night happy hour (11 PM – 2 AM). Oh, and the kitchen stays open late too, because nobody should watch overtime hungry. Perfect for soccer fans and anyone enjoying Key West nightlife!

2. Jack Flats

Jack Flats is a Key West classic. With walls lined with televisions, they make sure you’re front and center, no matter the game. Football? Basketball? They’ve got you covered. Plus, before the ref blows the whistle, grab some food—it’s surprisingly good. If you’re hoping to bond with like-minded fans cheering (or yelling) for your team, this is your jam.

3. Island Dogs Bar

More open space, great vibes, and a Key Lime Martini that’s so good it could distract you from the game. Island Dogs is perfect if you want to keep things a little more chill without sacrificing any sports action. Pull up a chair, and maybe treat yourself to an extra round of martinis.

4. Shooter’s Lounge and Sports Bar

This lounge oozes kickback-and-relax vibes. Shooter’s gives off that “neighborhood bar meets sports haven” energy. If you like your sports viewing to come with no pretense and plenty of chilled drinks, add this to your list.

5. Shots and Giggles

Small, funky, and oh-so-cool, Shots and Giggles is as unique as its name suggests. This is the kind of place where quirky regulars strike up a conversation, and the sports are on in the background. Whether you’re here for beer, laughs, or just really punny names, Shots and Giggles will win you over.

6. Durty Harry’s

Think TVs everywhere. There’s no chance you’ll miss a play at Durty Harry’s. This place doesn’t just stop at sports—it offers a full entertainment experience with awesome live music, cold drinks, and endless food options. Don’t miss the energy here when big games are on. Prepare to yell, cheer, and maybe spill your drink (it adds to the charm)!

7. Schooner Wharf Bar

A little old school and a lot of fun, Schooner Wharf Bar is more about the vibes than the number of TVs. Sure, you might not catch every second of the game, but who cares when there’s great live music and a killer seafood menu? Pro tip—come for the game, stay for the entertainment.

8. Ram’s Head Southernmost Point

Bloody Mary fans, this one is for you. Not only can you enjoy the game here, but you can also build your own Bloody Mary masterpiece! The mix-your-own experience is legendary, and they’ve got a solid menu that’ll keep you coming back for more. This spot does laid-back sports fandom just right.

9. Mary Ellen’s

Frozen Irish coffee. Need we say more? OK, here’s more—Mary Ellen’s is the place to kick back, indulge in some amazing drinks, and, oh yeah, pick up the game. The relaxed atmosphere is unbeatable, and they have TVs playing everything from the big game to viral videos on Chive TV. Sports? Check. Entertainment? Double-check.

10. The Waterfront Brewery

Got a group? Need space? Love beer? The Waterfront Brewery has you sorted. They serve up their homebrewed craft beers alongside some delicious food. Plus, the big, open space with games makes this spot a win-win for everyone. If multitasking between eating, socializing, and cheering is your thing, this is your dream destination.

11. (Bonus!) Hero’s Bar

The crowd might give this place standing ovations, but Hero’s Bar still flies a little under the radar. It’s the quieter option for catching a match and unwinding with some serious comfort food.
