Havana Jacks TikiOh, how we love our Keys’ Chiki Tiki Bars. And lord knows we have a lot of them down here.

But every now and again, it’s fun to put a different spin on “getting your Tiki on.” And that’s when we head on over to Havana Jack’s.

Tucked away on a secluded oceanfront beach on Key Colony, Havana Jack’s breaks the mold by combining Tiki good times with inspired American/Caribbean food, spectacular ocean views, and a lively island vibe that’s a tad more upscale than the usual Tiki Bar experience.

Whether you pull up a stool at the “always happening” thatched roofed bar, park yourself on one of the plush patio couches, or slip inside the cozy indoor lounge, you’ll be treated to the relaxed mood of the Caribbean.

Havana Jacks foodIn addition to the romantic oceanfront dining, Havana Jack’s offers an inventive menu of craft cocktails, top-shelf spirits, fine table-side cut cigars, and live entertainment by some of the best local musicians and deejays. You might say it’s for fun-loving people who like their Tiki shaken, not stirred.

Havana Jack’s is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am – 11pm, with an exceptional Happy Hour from 4 – 6 pm. You can find it at 401 East Ocean Drive, Key Colony Beach, just off Marathon’s Overseas Highway. Info: 305-281-0071; havanajacksoceanside.com.
