Is that in Cap't Tony's bar? I seem to remember that and other famous Key West names on bar stools there. I met Cap't Tony several times when he was alive & hanging out at the bar. He said he won his last mayors election by 36 votes....all hookers! I would venture into Key West back in the day when it was too windy to go offshore. Never a dull moment!

 

[Flipperfla]

Yes! Capt. Tony’s Saloon The tree in the bar is the original hanging tree in KW. The building was also the morgue at one time. Here is a pix of the tombstone where a person in buried under the floor where the pool table is located

Yes, Capt.Tony’s. Had some wild times there in my younger years also. Old Key West at its best.

My wife & my buddy's wife bought a Tee shirt from Cap't Tony. He was behind the counter in the bars souvenir spot. He asked if they wanted them autographed? He made them go into the rest room & put them on then he signed them with a sharpie right on their breasts! He laughed the whole time! Good times.

Then the state of Florida came in and tried to take it. He paid his dues. One thing I noticed living down here, everywhere there is something worth searching for conveniently for the government of Florida is a Wildlife Refuge, State Park, national seashore, sanctuary, whatever the title to keep you out. They know where everything is.
