Pilar Bar

Key West


Inside the Saint Hotel, this small, convivial bar deserves special mention for its outstanding Bloody Marys – among the best you'll find in this country. It's also a great setting for a cocktail and high-end pub grub – and feels secreted away from the chaos of nearby Duval St.

About that Bloody Mary… Bartender Paul Murphy, an expat from London, created 'the Almighty,' featuring specially infused Australian vodka and topped with a veritable meal, including Yorkshire pudding, prime rib parcel with horseradish cream, peppered bacon, a blue cheese-stuffed meatball and other ingredients, plus topped with a Key West shrimp.
