Tucked at the quiet northern end of Duval Street inside the Pier House Resort & Spa, the Beach Club Bar is Key West’s most civilized beach bar, and that’s meant as a compliment. A small private beach, a pool, gentle Gulf breezes, and a full bar serving tropical cocktails and cold beer make this the perfect antidote to Duval Street chaos. The Pier House location is prime, steps from Mallory Square but removed enough to feel like a different island. Resort guests and lucky day visitors share the sandy stretch, sip piña coladas, and watch the sailboats drift by. When Key West wears you out, this is where you recover.
