**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag Experience in Key West**

Nestled amid the vibrant bar scene of Key West, this restaurant claims unique charm but falls short on several fronts. While patrons enjoy a lively atmosphere and commend the talented bartenders for their expertly crafted cocktails, consensus highlights significant room for improvement. Complaints range from uncomfortable accommodations with inadequate amenities to noise disturbances that disrupt sleep. Guests noted the lack of Wi-Fi and limited check-in assistance further detracting from their stay. With enticing drink options and friendly staff, this spot may appeal to those seeking a casual bite, but potential visitors should be prepared for inconsistencies in service and comfort.

Was Anonym at Smallest Inn a mag?

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! It's interesting how it stands out on a street filled with bars; it offers something unique and fun. The bartender was excellent and mixed a superb margarita! The prices here are much more reasonable compared to the tourist spots in the city. The staff was very friendly and provided great recommendations for local attractions. If you find yourself nearby, definitely co... View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Smallest Inn:

We stayed in the apartment upstairs for an evening on duval st. The tv and Wi-Fi didn’t work, there was no soap/shampoo, the blinds were broken so we couldn’t see out onto the street and the power surged throughout the night and went out in the morning. The power was on everywhere else on the street so I assume it is something that was going on specifically with this building. Basically paid for a bed with convenienc... View all feedback.

The world's smallest bar! We first discovered it through a documentary, and we just had to experience it for ourselves. This tiny bar attracts large crowds and is a hotspot for unique thrill-seekers looking for something different. The servers are friendly, and the drinks are always ice-cold!

If you're looking to drop by for a delicious key lime pie shot or enjoy a fantastic drink while having a good laugh, make sure to visit the tiniest bar during your Key West adventure. I assure you that Charlie, Josh, Julie, or Shelby will ensure you have a wonderful time!

Unfortunately, they were out of Mojitos because they didn't have enough space to store fresh mint. I ended up ordering a couple of beers instead. The staff was friendly, and overall, it’s a fun spot to visit if you’re in Key West.

The bartender was incredibly rude! I approached the bar to order a drink with my son, and he wouldn't even glance at my son's ID. He just insisted that my son wasn't 21! I've been in situations like this before, and it was quite frustrating.

Treat yourself and make sure to stop by this charming little bar on Duval Street. Order the Key Lime Pie shot for you and your friends—it's the best shot you'll ever have!

Ashuleigh is hands down the best bartender we've encountered during our entire visit to Key West today. The key lime pie shots and cocktails were outstanding, and her customer service was exceptional. If you're planning a trip to Key West, make sure to stop by this bar—it's a must!

This place is fantastic for key lime pie shots! Josh was our bartender and recognized us every time we returned, which made our visits even more enjoyable. He was friendly, engaging, and his sense of humor added to the fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!

4.8/5 StarsThis is a great little place. Prices are good, drinks are cold, and the staff are always friendly. Only downside is it's literally the smallest bar so you have to wait for the customers in front of you because they can only serve 1 person at a time. But that's the gig. Really cool place.

Be sure to visit the Smallest Bar for a drink! It's a really cool spot.

Drinks and prices advertised on the bar when I walked up, so I opted for a rum runner and key west root beer shot. Prices standard for the area $13 for the drink and $8 for the shot); drinks tasty and strong, and service was friendly and efficient. Obviously not a large space, so once you grab your drinks, turn around and let the nice people waiting behind you order theirs

Studio 1 and studio 2 were great, no problems at all! I will try to get all the negative (but? reviews that have scared us almost from the book. cleanliness: there was nothing dirty in the room, let alone disgusting. BROKEN/NONWORKING: everyone worked, lights, lamps, outputs (Note: on switches, switches must be switched on. bugs no discovered, live or dead except a Palmetto bug on the day when it rained a lot. shower size: I am 6.0, man is 6.6, except a little to unravel to watch head, no problem in the shower turn. I would say it is about the same size as a cruise ship, maybe a tad bigger. curtains: the double door saw, had hits, but also hits that were easy to close, no one can see in! noise: the ac drowned 90% of the music, chatter from restaurant when they 't hand the other 10,% kw is no place they should visit. not bodice: right, they have soap, bring them themselves, that is not holiday guest! tw we could get only one channel when they see tw in kw, do it wrong and maybe kw not a proper fit for them, lol. mattress: no hill, täler, not hard like a rock or too soft. bed frame and matratze in studio 1 and 2 so personnel were so: go a restaurant to the room. no, they go next to the restaurant hof. the place also has a second level common area with chairs and table on 10, we thought that a nice supplement. Moreover, the havana dreams and the smallest bar are exactly there and this is a very short walk to best end the kw to eveything.

Heads up! They don’t have wifi here, and their showers are pretty small. If you’re a bigger person you might want to book a room somewhere else. To find the place can be confusing too. You’ll need to check in at The Smallest Bar, and then go a couple doors down the street and walk into a Cuban restaurant. The rooms are tucked behind the restaurant. Just ask where to go when you check in and you should be fine. Other than that, I definitely think this place was worth the price! The rooms aren’t huge but they’re big enough. The rooms are clean and they provide necessities like towels and such. I have a few minor complaints. Only half the wall outlets work, and they don’t have wifi.

While the location is great, the room not so much! The rooms are all advertised as a queen and twin bed, however, it doesn’t tell you the twin bed is a mattress in the closet you put on the floor. Our TV wouldn’t even turn on. Teeny, tiny shower, can barely shampoo your hair without it being washed out at the same time. Call to check in and was told check in was between 1-130 local time but we weren’t able to check in until 3 but adamant check out is at 11 with no true safe place for luggage on a late flight out. Call the number and you’re lucky if anyone answered. This will be my first and last time staying at this property! I did post all true things! I just checked out yesterday, 12/25/21! Notice the owner calls you a liar when it isn’t a good review! What does Comcast not working have to do with the fact the TV would not even turn on?? Again, I would not recommend this place!

We stayed in the apartment upstairs for an evening on duval st. The tv and Wi-Fi didn’t work, there was no soap/shampoo, the blinds were broken so we couldn’t see out onto the street and the power surged throughout the night and went out in the morning. The power was on everywhere else on the street so I assume it is something that was going on specifically with this building. Basically paid for a bed with convenience.

Very very noisy! If you want to sleep… forget it, it will not happen until 2:30am! The bathroom shower is super small, no amenities in the bathroom other than soap and towels. Beds are not that comfortable. The floors creek everywhere. No safe in the room to hide your valuables, someone could easily break into your room. NO parking for your vehicle as we were told that there would be, so you have to find parking 2 blocks away and pay $20.00 per day. They have no lobby, no breakfast, no free coffee. Definitely NOT worth what we paid for! Not worth more than $80.00 a night.
