Casual craft beer bar serving tacos, sandwiches, salads and more dockside in Garrison Bight.

Sitting by the docks in Key West, enjoying a cold beer and a fresh fish taco, while watching the boats come and go. Doesn’t that sound like a fine Key West experience?  (It is)

Mellow Cafe and Gastropub, an off-the-beaten-path craft beer bar and eatery does a nice job of offering a casual bite in a typically Florida Keys relaxed place. When there, you might feel like you’ve discovered a hidden place easily missed by the masses.

The tacos, their specialty, are excellent and obviously make use of quality ingredients. And with the charter-boats nearby, there is little doubt the snapper is fresh.  Salads are piled high with a garden of nutritious flavors.

Mellow Cafe also serves the best banh mi sandwich in Key West. Banh mi is a sandwich the resulted from French colonialism in Vietnam and is prepared with a crunchy roll (traditionally french baguette, but here on ciabatta), and filled with Indonesian flavors.

To pair with the tasty tacos, salads, and sandwiches is a bountiful selection of over 100 craft beers with a rotating cast of 11 on tap.

Happy hour offers generous drinks specials and a very inexpensive way to taste the menu (which is inexpensive as well).
