Top 10 Party Places for Spring Break 2015
Written by Dianne Ackerman
If you want to have the Spring Break of a lifetime, Key West has you covered. And we’ve got you covered when it comes to what to do! Here’s our Top 11 must-do’s for an unforgettable Key West Spring Break 2015.
1. Do-It-All Sunset Sail
If you aren’t in the mood to go bar hopping, take the bar with you…on the water! You and your friends can hop a party charter, yacht, or sailboat, and party like rock stars. One ticket will get you admission, drinks, and most likely lots of stories to tell when you get back to school. https://ow.ly/Ka5SP
2. Jetski Island Tour with Key West Watertours
Hop on a jetski for an exhilarating ride around the entire island! Like a motorcycle for the water, https://ow.ly/Ka5IJ
jetskis have been a popular activity choice for Key West vacationers for years. Tours are available for solo, couples or groups. Grab your honey and rent a double-seater for a tandem tour of a lifetime. Or hop on a solo ski for an electrifying ride with the wind and surf in your hair. Many tours offer a pit-stop at a sand bar to enjoy the vistas, to take a dip in the water, and just to enjoy the view.
3. Scavenger Hunt / Bar Crawl
Not just for kids anymore! Voted one of the TOP FIVE things to do in Key West, the discoveries on this scavenger hunt feature Key West’s most fun bars and secret local hideaways. The hunt includes 2-for-1 drink coupons that can be used anytime, so you end up saving over 100 bucks. What’s not to love? You can hoof it, drive, bike, or even use an electric car on this hunt. Be prepared to uncover a riotous time! https://ow.ly/KabmS
4. Ghost Tours – David Sloan’s Original Ghost Tour
After you take this tour, you will want to do two things: 1) take Henry the amazing tour guide back home with you, and 2) sleep with the lights on for the rest of the year. Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, this tour is entertaining, exciting, and creepy. You will hear awesome history and lore about the island, visit the cemetery at night, and hear about all the infamous paranormal activity that is supposedly to have occurred in Key West. It’s a nice diversion from doing shots and being out on the water all day. https://www.keywestghosthunt.com/
5. Rick’s Durty Harry’s
If you like bars, booze, and loud music, then you will love this place. This place is a Key West institution, and the nightlife doesn’t get anymore raucous and fun than it does here. Who wouldn’t get up and dance with a house band called the “Durtbags”?? Put your drinking shoes, er, flip-flops on, and come on down for a fun night filled with specials on shots, beers and loud music, along with 10 flat-screen TVs incase you want to keep an eye out on the big game. We bet you will be back again before your trip is over. https://www.partyinkeywest.com/pages/keywestbars.html
6. Hog’s Breath Saloon
A trip to Key West wouldn’t be the same without a drink (or two, or three) at the one and only, world-famous Hog’s Breath Saloon. The bar features live music seven days a week. Acts change three times a day, so you’re guaranteed great-sounding music any time you stop by! Come on it, belly up to the bar and enjoy the beer, music, people watching, and make some new friends! https://www.partyinkeywest.com/pages/keywestbars.html
7. Fat Tuesdays
About a gazillion flavors of grown-up slurpees (ie., frozen cocktails) to choose from, loud music,
dancing, and hot bartenders. What else would you want from a bar? Nothing right? Well, this place has a bit more: offerings of extra shots in all drinks, drinks are served in insulated containers so they stay nice and icy-slushy, and fast and friendly service. https://www.partyinkeywest.com/members/fat_tuesday.html
8. Irish Kevin ‘s
This is the place you want to go to get wild. Keep in mind, the bar slogan is “I came, I drank, I don’t remember.” Every night, there is a different act¬—whether it’s a singer, comedian, or a drinking or dancing competition, there is always someone or something to get the crowd pumped up. A lot of the entertainment is pretty interactive with the patrons. This is a good ol’ joint where you can just sing ‘til you’re hoarse, drink ‘til you’re drunk, laugh ‘til you’re stomach hurts—and make some hilarious memories to take home with you. https://www.partyinkeywest.com/pages/keywestbars.html
9. Green Parrot’s live music
This is the local’s favorite dive bar, and has been voted Best Bar many times over. Walking up to the bar, you will think you are approaching an old shack. Walk inside, and you will find locals and tourists alike, boozing it up and listening to great live music. The acts here are always top-notch bands playing, and you can get your fill of real roots music, from blues, soul, country, African, and rock. The music is free, and the drinks are generous. Check out the calendar on their website to see who is playing, or take a chance and just walk in—you are sure to hear something short of amazing. https://www.partyinkeywest.com/pages/keywestbars.html
10. Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville
The home of the Original Cheeseburger in Paradise, this place is hyped for a good reason. The staff is super-friendly, the crowd is always up for fun, and it’s a great place to meet people. Fun place to stop for lunch, or dinner, but they also have a great happy hour with pretty sweet drink and nosh specials. As their website says, “Hey, it’s five o’clock somewhere!” https://www.partyinkeywest.com/pages/keywestbars.html
