Hard Rock Cafe Key West
313 Duval St., Key West, Florida
Hard Rock Key West is in the center of the island action on Duval Street. It serves up American fare and features plenty of rock ’n’ roll memorabilia—similar to the chain’s other locations, but here it's with a tropical twist. When you dine al fresco on the patio, enjoy a hearty helping of ocean breeze along with live entertainment.
Stop in for a fruity frozen cocktail or dinner and view music artifacts such as Jimi Hendrix’s boots, Stevie Nicks’ velvet jacket, and a Les Paul guitar that was broken in concert by Nine Inch Nails. Housed in a historic 3-story Victorian home, the restaurant embraces the Key West vibes while offering the franchise familiarity. The building is purportedly haunted, so this Hard Rock Cafe is a stop on ghost tours and pub crawls.
It’s a family-friendly daytime spot with a kids menu.
The cafe is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible.
Duval Street can get rowdy at night with lots of bar hoppers.
Hard Rock Cafe Key West is on Duval Street between Caroline and Eaton streets. Metered street parking is available. There are bus stops located a short walk away, and taxi and rideshare services are readily available. Many visitors get around the island by bike, especially in the Old Town area.
Hard Rock Cafe Key West is open daily from lunch to late night. Check the website for the events calendar. The winter months (December-February) bring the most tourists to Key West. From September through November, there is a risk of hurricanes. Despite the chance of storms, the Fantasy Fest celebration takes place on the last week of October and features a Mardi Gras-like parade.
Lined with restaurants, bars, art galleries, and souvenir shops, Duval Street is the spot to start your trip in Key West. In addition to Hard Rock Cafe Key West, you can catch live music at the Sloppy Joe's Bar, about a block away. Or dig into a slice of Key lime pie at Kermit's. Popular sites like the Hemingway Home are found just off this main drag.
