We will definitely stay there again!
My boyfriend and I made our second trip to Key West together in June. Our first choice for B&B, the place we stayed in the first time we went together, had no vacancy for the weekend we planned on going, so we reluctantly searched for another place that could possibly be as good as our first.
I Googled bed & breakfasts in Key West and stumbled upon the Speakeasy. We were immediately taken by its location, right on Duval Street but yet not so "in the mix" of all the social madness that can occur at times. When I began to read the reviews, it seemed so many people were happy with their experience there, and I learned that the inn had an interesting part in history as well. All these factors, along with the inn's apparent charm, won us over right away.
Our personal experience there confirmed all the great reviews we had read. We had a warm welcome at the bar, where we checked in and ordered a drink at the same time! We stayed in their smallest room, which proved to be more than enough space for us. It was perfectly cozy with an oh-so-comfortable bed. The following morning, I walked over to the bar to see if I could grab some breakfast for my boyfriend to have in bed. The woman who welcomed me asked our names, which definitely made it a more personal experience. When I told her I was looking to take some food back to the room, she looked for a tray to give me to help me in taking everything in one trip.
All in all, we were very pleased with our stay at the Speakeasy Inn. We cannot wait to stay there again!
This is a great B&B for Key West. Â The rooms are great, clean, and very comfortable. Â The staff is what really sets them apart. Â Everyone there is so nice and goes out of their way to help and make you feel relaxed. Â The Rum Bar is so great too! Â Make sure to have Bob make you a Bark & Stormy!
Review Source:When my husband and I went to this bar, it was easy to see why this place easily gets high marks. Â The Pain Killer is one of the best drinks I've had since being in Key West and the services was friendly. Â We chatted with the locals and found an excellent Cuban restaurant just down the street. Â You HAVE to go!!!
Review Source:This is a place to stay with a bar below.
A lot of Rums to choose from, but they also have a card that have the common drinks for those of us not well versed in Rum drinks.
Bartender was friendly.
Drinks were awesome!
Bathrooms were a shock, super clean, awesome soaps and lotions and salt scrubs. Smelled super clean for being in a bar.
Bar, Table, and outdoor seating with umbrellas.
Fun time. I stopped in here a few times during my 10 day visit.
Bikers seem to stop in pretty frequently but are a funloving crowd.
I absolutely love this place!!! We found it online at a reasonable price in a last minute trip we planned from Miami to Key West on my bday. Â HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I just don't care for the little old kitchenette in the tiny room. Â Get rid of that and although the room is small, it would look more new and spacious. Â Other than that a great experience!!!!! Â Great location, quiet B&B on duval near all the main spots. Â The Rum Bar is the coolest little bar I've been to in Duval in a while. Â Small, intimate, a place where you feel everyone knows your name. Â The bartenders are a hoot, especially Bob. Â But all of them are great. Â Delicious fresh muddled mojitos and tasty rum runners. Â Def. best mojito in the area!!! (I'll do a separate review for the rum bar itself). Â Staying here is worth it just for the rum bar alone!!
This is a clean B&B with a very comfy bed. Â We got a room tucked away in the back, small but SOOO cute. Â note, there's no pool - if you're good with no pool then this is the place for you!
Absolutely phenomenal!
I just got back from staying here and I have vowed to stay at the Speakeasy every time I visit Key West.
John was hilarious and super accommodating when checking us in and all of the bartenders were amazing. It is the perfect location right on Duval Street and the room rates were a great deal.
Great drinks, great staff, and great location!!!
My boyfriend and I made our first visit to Key West this past weekend (we live in Miami) and stayed here! Before we even got there the manager called us to make sure we were finding our way ok! When we got there we got the most warm greeting. The owner, who also serves as the night time bar tender is the most welcoming and accomodating woman, and GREAT bar tender as well! The bar has delicious and fresh drinks! :) A great way to wind down after a long hot day! Everyone is so kind and helpful. The rooms are adorable and the location is perfect! Its out of the way of the "touristy" areas, but still on Duval and in walkable distance to almost anywhere you would want to go! We will definitely be making this our go-to place when we want to get back down to key west! LOVED it! We can't say enough good things about it!
Review Source:There aren't enough good things to say about this B&B. We loved it! Took a few friends from philly who were visiting us in Miami and drove down for a night in KW. The rooms were big and clean with icy A/C. Loved the continental breakfast, bar and comfy beds!!! The breakfast in the AM was great with fresh squeezed OJ and fresh fruit as well as cereal and bagels, but honestly the star of the show is the fact that we came downstairs and had a drink before heading out and were able to wrap up our night with a drink before bed! We will be back!
Review Source:I really loved this place. As small as it is it was our first and most favorite stop of the night during our crawl down Duval. Seems to be kind of a local hangout. Even though we had been treated rudely at our hotel for looking like college students this place welcomed us with open arms. We chatted up both the bar tender and some the locals, all around good time.
The drinks are reasonable and quite tasty. Be sure to stop in!
During our trip to Key West we went on many quests. Finding the best conch fritter, Pina Colada & Mojito. The first is a useless task. Being a native of Florida their is nothing like a conch fritter from your grandma's kitchen. The second was found in this random ass bar from what looked like a Slurpee machine, damn good though. The third, here at the Speakeasy Inn.
After taking a long walk to the southernmost point we found sanctuary at the bottom of a rummy delicious glass. Minty, refreshing, limey goodness, all within a very tiny bar, poured by a California native that fell in love with a lovely island. We had a great time rehydrating (so to speak) at the Inn.
A trip to this bar is not complete with out a shot of root juice.
Man up and have some.
Once we found this comfortable, quiet little bar, we went back daily during our 10-day trip to KW. Great, fun bartenders, and by far the best rum bar (only 180 varieties to choose from) on the island! We tried the "Root Juice" - holy crap. Great dessert drink = Painkiller, actually made with Pusser's - hadn't seen this authentic drink since Annapolis at the Pusser's bar there! Highly recommend this place! It's on the quieter end of Duval, so nice for beginning or ending the evening!
