Key West Bar Card
Does anyone know if I can purchase the bar card when in Key West, or should I order online and have it delivered to the liquor store on Duval in time for my arrival. Thanks
The Key West Bar Card is a convenient option for visitors who plan to enjoy multiple bars in Key West without having to carry cash or pay separately at each location. Here’s what you need to know about obtaining it:
Purchasing on Arrival
Yes, you can purchase the bar card in Key West once you arrive. Many liquor stores, bars, and participating locations on Duval Street sell the cards directly. This is often the simplest option, especially if you’re unsure of exact dates or travel plans.
- Stop by a participating liquor store on Duval Street — they typically have bar cards ready for purchase.
- Bars themselves may sell bar cards at the entrance, particularly during peak tourist times.
- Purchasing in person allows you to ask about participating locations and any special promotions or limits.
Ordering Online
You can also order the bar card online and request delivery to a liquor store in Key West, but there are a few things to consider:
- Delivery timing is critical — ensure the card arrives before your visit; holidays or busy seasons can cause delays.
- Confirm that the liquor store you choose will accept and hold your online order until you pick it up.
- Some online services may offer special deals or discounts, but fees and shipping times vary.
Recommendations
- If your travel dates are firm and you want to be sure you have the card immediately upon arrival, online ordering with in-store pickup can be convenient.
- If you prefer flexibility or are arriving without a fixed plan, buying the card in Key West is simple and avoids shipping concerns.
- Either option works, but buying locally also gives you the chance to ask about which bars are currently participating and if there are any new additions.
In summary, both methods are valid, but for most visitors, purchasing the bar card once you arrive in Key West at a Duval Street liquor store or participating bar is straightforward and reliable.
