I liked the Hog's Breath in Key West.

Oh, in St. Augustine the Mill Top Tavern was decent.

Take the tour of the St Augustine distillery. Doesn't take too long and they serve you up a couple drinks at the end. If you are spending a day there get on the trolley train and enjoy the history. The distillery is one of the stops where you can get off and reboard later. There's another stop downtown that has a variety of shops. One of those is JC the Cuban Roller. Not a stick that wowwed me but still fun.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely try to hit those.
We did plan to check out some of the history in St. Augustine. I didn't know there is a distillery.

In St. Augustine, you must eat at Columbia, our favorite Cuban restaurant. In Miami, the ultimate Cuban restaurant, located in Little Havannah, the center of Cuban culture (and cigars) in the U.S., is Cafe Versailles- an ultimate place!

While you're in Key West...I HIGHLY recommend...

http://capttonyssaloon.com


Everyone is in hurry to go to Hogs Breath...they forget the local hangout...if you're there Fri-Sat...stay for the band.


Wife and I went there and heard a local band that gave the Rolling Stones a run for their money! complete with sax and keys!

Last night we walked around St. Augustine and I loved it. Stopped at Stogies bar had a couple pints. Free house cigar with your first pint and it was a pretty good smoke....or maybe it was just the atmosphere that made it seem the way.
Tried to eat at Columbia but it was almost a 2 hour wait. Watched an amazing fireworks show over the Castillo de San Marcos fort. We're probably going to stop back when we head home. I want to try to hit the distillery and some other things.

I've been to Captain Tony's, one of my favorite places. My brother in law took me there when we were there for a day.
