Durty Harry's

Of the crappy Spring Break-style bars littering the north central part of Duval, I've always liked this one best. It's just straight-up live music featuring rock covers without a lot of stupid BS...many of these Key West performers think they are a lot funnier than they really are, but for the most part, the "Durtbags" just shut up and crank out the rock covers. I appreciate that.

Like most of the dives in this area, the scent of long-stale fizzy yellow beer and cigarette smoke permeates the air. And again, like the aforementioned, your enjoyment of bars like this is probably directly proportional to your level of inebriation. I've never had any wish to get that drunk by my own design - but the music is still enjoyable enough for me to be able to hang out here in a general state of sobriety, without wanting to kill everyone in the bar. It's tolerable, and that's a win in my book....so whenever I'm in Key West with people who want to "party," I tend to take them here.

Well I have been coming to durty harrys waaaaay before they changed the bar, and all ot that. It used to be a big horseshoe... it's better now. I knw that was a time ago. I am old sorry...

But I was there in 2010 and hadn't been back since 2k. Yep , NYE for the millennium. NBFD... No big Deal. Ta tas galore...
But in 2010 saw the DurtBags. As a former bar band bass player their bass player was incredible!!!! What I liked is that the bass player has a fender Jazz bass in the style of Getty Lee of Rush.  I have  a real one.... Not a copy. But that bass player is a monster. Nailed everything. EVERYTHING!  Anyway how can you not like DH's..? If you don't belong --- well ---- how do I say this..?!?!? GTFO. But you tourists can buy drinks... And you do...

Durty Harrys... You get it .. if you get it. Get it?.

Great music every time we've been but best when the Durtbags are playing. If you like 80's to current rock, you'll love this band. Bartender had a cool juggling act too-with fire!  Best time we had in Key West during Thanksgiving 2012.
