Hank's Hair of the Dog Saloon, Hog’s Breath Saloon, Schooner Wharf Bar, Smokin’ Tuna Saloon.

What bars in Key West have that chill vibe where you can take your pup and listen to live music outdoors? Our Key West Harbor Resort gets asked that question often, so we’d put together a list of super-friendly venues. Here are four pawsome bars your furry friends will get excited to take a leisurely walk to, wander and get a drink, and maybe a treat while you enjoy cocktails and listen to great music in paradise.

We love Hanks because they are Key West’s premier dog-friendly live music venue, hosting some of the top local and national touring acts in a comfortable and friendly outdoor setting.

When you visit Hanks, you feel like you’re sitting in your backyard with friends and family. In addition to the drinks, top talent, and artists, Garbo’s Grill food truck is in the back, creating a unique atmosphere and fabulous foodie experience.

Located steps from our resort at the Historic Seaport Harbor Walk is where you’ll find Key West’s last little piece of Old Key West, the iconic Schooner Wharf Bar.

While taking a stroll by the Seaport, you’ll hear exceptional live local entertainment, the sounds of the best musicians on stage day and night, and the most eclectic mix of locals and visitors taking in the island vibe. View the entertainment schedule.

Key West place to be. Chill and relax. Great music and good eats. ~ SV NauticalDreamer Scott Stevens

This place has great vibes and will welcome your dog upon arrival with a refreshing water bowl.

Day or night at Schooner Wharf Bar is another memorable live music experience you won’t forget, and the best part is you don’t have to leave your pet behind.

Tucked away on Charles Street, off the 200 block of Duval, is where you’ll find Smokin’ Tuna Saloon. In addition to great local seafood, Smokin’ Tuna brings local and world-class musicians to the island. View the entertainment schedule.

We went two nights in a row. Saw three different bands. Really enjoyed the location and the bands. We had amazing tuna nachos, think asian, very good! Staff is friendly and kept up with our drinks even when it got busy the one night. It's off the main drag one block and felt a bit more laid back than some of the bars that we went to. ~ Matthew Patterson, Google Review

Smokin’ Tuna was built around music and continues bringing several shows with the best talent to its courtyard stage throughout the day.
Here’s another great place to take your dog where everyone will be welcomed and entertained.
