Very much a dive bar !

est us a couple of free rounds of beers and some cocktails . We flew into Key West and landed nice and smooth , and everything was good . We got off the plane , got an Uber got to our condo got checked in and the adventure began . There was so much to do in Key West that I didn ’ t have time to tell you about all of it . But I will tell you about a few things . There was a place about a block and a half from our condo called the bearded lady . This place was quiet , which is unusual and Key West . And the beer was cold . They had a brand-new walk-in cooler , and the tap handles were just on the other side of the wall . The beer was nice and cold and believe it or not , they had Narragansett lager on tap . It was delicious . It was a great place to start your day at about 11 o ’ clock . Great place to wind up the day without all the noise and hubbub of many of the other bars . We really kind of fell in love with the place . Other places we went included the Celtic Conch which was awesome . A singer from Ireland plays a nice mix of music and we ’ re drinking some half and half or black and tans , whatever you want to call them . We found a bar called Heroes which was cool but the one I want to talk to you about right now is called The Dive Bar T Shirt Club . It was filled with all kinds of beer signs and a lot of them were from the Midwest and it would make a lot of bars back here jealous with the signage they had on display . It ’ s not exactly what you would expect to find in Key West . The bartender was cool . The beer was pretty cold , and the signs were awesome . We had a good time there .
