When you think of Key West, the Mallory Square Sunset Celebration is usually at the top of the list. We're right in the middle of it—and nothing pairs better with that golden hour than a mojito and a plate of Cuban tapas. The celebration starts about two hours before sunset. Come early, grab a table, and stay for the show.
Sunset drinks & bites
Sunset calls for a drink and a bite. We do Cuban: mojitos, cold beers, and tapas made for sharing.
Mojito
Mint, lime, rum. The drink that goes with a Key West sunset.
Cuba Libre
Rum and Mexican Coke on ice with lime. Simple, cold, classic.
