What is a place or thing that you miss in Key West that is no longer there.

My vote would go for Billies... Yeah it was a dive, but it was a fun cheap place. My buddies and I would be there for their midnight to 2am happy hour drinking 2 for one cans or dollar drafts. Really fun, really cheap times!

My addition would be...

I miss Alice's at La Te Da. I know we can still go to Alice's, but loved dining out in courtyard of La Te Da.

I miss the Washington Street Inn. It was the first place we every stayed in KW (and where we stayed when we were young and poor). It was reasonable and really quaint! Still go by there now and again to see that nothing has been done with it - very sad....

Breakfast Anytime!! How can I forget that place! We would always sit at the counter and if someone came in asking for something low calorie or low fat the owner would put an empty plate in front of them and walk away! Loved it!!

I miss Duval Beach Club. Went to the Southern Most Beach Cafe in May and don't like what they've done with the place.

I also miss Sand's Beach Club. The short time it was open ended up being one of our favorite places. But ya know...... we gotta have as many condo's as humanly possible.

"I miss Duval Beach Club"

That reminds me - Long before it was that, it was South Beach Seafood and Raw Bar. I think that was the name but it doesn't sound completely correct to me. It was a neat place just to get a beer and some shrimp and watch the water. The family who owned The Colony Guest Cottages (On Olivia) owned it and seem to take great pride in the place.
