    another enjoyable bar hopping cruise. way back when, I used to spend winters in Key West and the lower "FlaKeys" between 1975 to 1990. before like many places has changed too much, in too many ways! I used to frequent bars on the "quiet" other end of Simonton street, like the old Sands beach club, long gone, and the Full Moon Saloon, and the old Bottle Cap bar. I still remember the Green Parrot with three shots of Tequila for one buck! I remember one classic place, name unknown a little up the road from the Half Shell, it looked to be an old run down building looking vacant for decades collapsing fence overgrown yard with a neon sign saying closed, and a locked door it advertised it was closed during the hours which it was open. and the musicians would not be appearing when they were scheduled. if you could find your way in you would find a very nice well done interior. and outdoor patio even their menu would go out the way to discourage patrons in classic Key West style of the times.

Your book took me by surprise as my wife is also writing a murder mystery book based in the keys so I forwarded it to her and she has now purchased it .
    Great vid really enjoyed it , hopefully make it back this year for my £60th ..think it’s a must .🙏👍

    Wow, I haven't been to Sloppy Joes since 1997. Boy time sure flies. My first trip to the keys was in 1974. Me and my best friend at the time drove my 1964 Chevy Belair all the way there. Stopped in Marathon and Grassy Key and found a nude beach. We got our butts burned so bad we couldn't hardly sleep. LOL. Those were the days when the Keys were the KEYS! Not the same anymore. Oh well, at least I got to see it back then. There were even live reefs when we went there. Now all the coral is dead just like all the people that go there thanks to our post Covid apocalyptic dream world

      We often supplement our hotel costs with credit card points. Keeps some of these prices manageable. But the resort prices all up and down are a moving target, so they all get kicked up depending on demand and time of year.

    If you’re going to purport to be an expert on the Florida Keys and make videos, you need to learn the laws.

      Good information for those who are not aware of that law. Thing is, FWC would have to prove that the water was fresh, not salt. I don't get the impression that Dave is 'purporting to be an expert' though and he wasn't the one with the hose pointed at the manatee, so I doubt he is someone FWC would come after for any Karens reporting this video to FWC.

    You went to The Green Parrot and missed a great bar across the street! It's called The Bearded Lady. It's a staple for locals. I lived in KW for 5 years...
