Caroline's Other Side

In a bar scene saturated with two-for-one frozen drink specials and "Ernest Hemingway Drank Here" proclamations, Caroline's Other Side is a welcome respite.  The space, which looks and feels more like a library than a bar, is one of Key West's first attempts at the modern-day speakeasy craze that invaded bigger cities years ago.  And it's a hit—thanks, in large part, to the lineup of perfectly mixed craft cocktails that comprise the menu, like the punny Adios Pantalones! ( a mix of watermelon juice, High West double rye whiskey, coconut oolong tea, and lemon juice).  Of course, this being Key West, a Hemingway Daiquiri is always a good call, too.
