Dry Tortugas is a full days trip. Wife and I did sun set cruise. About $150. Shrimp, beer and wine included.

Sloppy Joe's was fun. Went to other places too, but always managed to finish there. Sloppy Rita FTW!

Get a fish sammich at BO's. Cash only.

The Smoking Tuna is a cool little spot with live bands. Avoid Sloppy Joes, it's an expensive as hell tourist trap that's always full of that day's cruise ship population. Green Parrot and Lazy Gecko are two other cool spots. My parents live down there and normally I'd tell my dad to hop on and post some recommendations, but I think he got banned after the LSU game

Seconded on Seven Fish. Parents are friends with the owner and rave about how good the food is.

Key West is awesome. Fishing, snorkeling/diving, booze cruise, good eating and drinking.
Most of the people who go there as tourist have a little money, so you are not around trashy assholes.

Awesome, fun place. The scuba diving is a little weak (except for the Vandenberg) but clean version of French Quarter with a laid back island feel.

Seven fish is going to be on the list. I'm wanting to hear more about the little known great eats.

It seems like although touristy; sloppy joes is a must stop at least once.
I'm seeing that it won't be hard to find live bands and music.
Garden of Eden... We'll see, it is an all guys trip so if it's not a wiener roast then that could get interesting.

How about fishing recommendations?

Nightclubs?

A Dry Tortugas trip for sure as you'll be there a week.

They have tarpon in the Key West harbor that roll up as in IDGAF.

You can hardly screw up this trip, just have fun.

I've had some fun there, it was really nice when SWA had the MSY-EYW non-stop.

Relaying this directly from someone who lives in Key West. Said if you're wanting a charter fishing trip, contact "Fishy Business" charters.

If it's a dudes trip, hit up Teasers strip club at least once. Lots of Eastern European chicks and full nude.

Conch Republic (that place near the marina) and BO's are the only two spots I make a point to eat at when I visit, but you really cant go wrong anywhere. The food down there is great. I'm usually so hammered that I stop at the 24/7 Dennys more than I'd care to admit

Find Garbo's Food truck and be prepared to be blown away. Bad Boy Burrito's as well......Second the Green Parrot as well, only time I smoked some maryjohanna with a local out on the sidewalk that tasted like bubble gum......was some crazy stuff.

We left our scooters there, they put them inside for us and caught a cab back to our place

Can't add anything that's already been said. The Southernmost Beach Cafe has a good early morning breakfast.

A couple of years ago, the Hard Rock Cafe did a sunset dinner cruise on this awesome pirate ship and there was live music on board. Great acoustic island tunes. Got ripped, would do again.
