Whistle Stop

We stopped in for a game of pool and a bite to eat. It’s a locals hangout. The service was great as well as the food (dolphin sandwich and chicken quesadilla).

Whistle Stop is a great dive bar that is open late. The bar was exactly what i wanted, as I drove down from Broward to watch the Lakers and Warriors last games in Islamorada. The bartenders were absolutely friendly and were willing to give you the time of day for anything. Shane is a great bartender and gave great advice on ordering the nacho plate. Highly recommend stopping here!

We are from south Florida, stopped in for a drink, saw good beer and food reviews. I was so over the top disappointed in how we were treated! A man with his hair in a bun was extremely rude and not happy to see us walk in– we left purely because the bartender with the man bun made it very obvious that he only cared about locals– which sucks considering we only live 2 hrs away– cared more about his phone– I have a half hour more of photos but we left–

A+!
We stopped here in the way back up from Key West. The kitchen stays open late so we stopped in.
The vibe is a fun dive bar with loud music, darts, and pool.
The menu was standard bar fare, and everything was great! The cheeseburger was genuinely delicious. The steak quesadilla was also super good.
The bartenders were friendly and playful. Would recommend this place s a fun stop, even when it’s not the only open kitchen!

This is my favorite bar in the upper keys! A locals spot, not too expensive with good food. Best wings in the upper keys, good burgers good pizza. The drinks are well priced and poured. The staff is super friendly as well. Want to unwind, hang with some good people, meet the locals. This is the bar.

Drinks and bartender are great. Great place to hang with friends. Did not try the food though.

My husband and I were tired of the traffic on the highway and decided to stop here for a drink. Place was pretty empty, but we didn’t mind we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and a few of the locals and enjoyed a beverage and a chilled fireball shot from their fireball dispenser. The bar is clean and has three pool tables, a dart board and a ping pong table among some other electronic games. They are also one of the only places we’ve seen that stays open past 10PM. They are open until 3AM!
If we were staying here longer we would definitely be back in to this chill divey bar.

A local bar. Nice folks chatting. Enthusiastic bar tender. Excellent value especially considering all the high priced bars, restaurants & hotels. Just proves the point you don’t have to pay big bucks for a drink & enjoyment.

This place is interesting. A nice little dive bar where I assume locals and tourists come to mix and mingle and get in the occasional verbal dispute. We stayed right near here for a week, so for some of us it was our home away from home. I really loved this bar mainly because it had a ping pong table and mega touch, they also have a pool table if that’s your thing.
My friends, family and I had quite the experience. There was a bunch of us ladies that headed over for a drink. We played some pong. Then after a few rounds we headed over to play mega touch. We decided to play photo-​hunt, which if you’re familiar with you know the drive and focus it takes champion this game. While we were playing a group of dudes came over to the other side of the machine and kept asking us to stop and smile for a picture. Apparently playing mega touch is quite the attraction. We were all so focused on the game we completely ignored these guys. Unable to realize that we were busy they yelled at us because we didn’t stop and then stormed off angry. Ahahaha. What? Ok.
Later on, I’m playing some pong when my partner runs to the bathroom. This dude comes up, grabs a paddle and starts playing with me. Ok, cool. We have a few volleys, then all the sudden he reaches into his shorts, takes out a water gun and starts shooting me with it! Ahahaha. What? Ok. Then he told me that he played the song that was currently on and when I responded with «Sublime?» He said «Yea, I’m from California.» Ok. Cool?
We all decide to call it a night and start to gather up to leave. One of our friends was not so compliant, so I tried to pull her away from these three people she was hanging out with. I asked them to just kindly cool it and help me out because my friend has a wee bit much to drink and this random chick responds with «I’m not trying to help you, I want her to party with us» and she kept saying this over and over. Fine by me, so more of us come over and pull our drunken friend away and these people start bickering more with us ending with «You’re ugly» while we started walking away, and kept repeating «You’re ugly, You’re so ugly!»
Ahahaha. What? Ok.
The next day my husband and two baby daughters went to the place across the street from the Whistle Stop to grab lunch when the «You’re Ugly» girl walks in, smiles at my daughters and goes «Awe, you’re so cute» sees me, realizes I’m the ugly one from the night before and walked back behind the counter. Maybe you shouldn’t be such an ass face when you’re out drinking? Just a suggestion.

yikes! I read good reviews of this place before going, and I was looking forward to a good meal. Jesus! Medium burger was served raw. Pizza served undercooked. Okay, it was Sunday night, but surely they could have cooked our food for a couple of extra minutes. Lovely local-​bar atmosphere and friendly service that would have earned five stars had the food been better.
