There are Happy Hours and then there are really “Happening” Happy Hours.
For anyone who enjoys fine wine, spirited cocktails and great food, the Happy Hour at Key West’s acclaimed Tavern N’ Town is all that. Locals flock here nightly from 5 – 7 pm for the generous 2 for 1 cocktails, and the revolving lineup of top notch entertainment which regularly features island chanteuse, Carmen Rodriguez.
But what really rocks the boat is the “7 Tapas for $7” special. These globally inspired small tasting plates of gourmet appetizers are all artfully prepared and elicit appreciative nods from top food aficionados. The creative delectables are always changing and you can easily make a meal out of several small plates.
BTW: Dinner here is just as wonderful.
