Hemingway’s House - Key West

We made sure to visit Ernest Hemingway’s house while we were in Key West. For those that don’t know, Ernest was an American novelist, short-story writer, journalist, and sportsman - all aspects of his life that are evident within the house and all around the beautifully-gardened property.

Visiting the house is stepping back in time to the 1930s and walking in the footsteps of one of American’s most well-known authors and member of the post-World War I “Lost Generation” writers whose works we still read and study today. We picked up a copy of The Old Man and the Sea at the gift shop - we thought it the perfect item to remember the man and the region.

And of course, we made sure to pet a few of the property’s infamous six-toed cats.

PRO-TIP: After your visit, have a few cold beers and enjoy some fantastic live music at the Green Parrot Bar nearby… definitely worth a stop!

We were flattered and honored to learn this week we were named the number one dive bar in the South by Southern Living magazine.
We know that of late, "dive bar" has become a wildly misapplied and overused appellation and, we also know that, for a few reasons some may even feel that the Green Parrot may have strayed too far from our roots to qualify.
For example, some say a true dive should never appear in print unless it is closing, or mentioned as a crime-scene.
Others say that a clean, safe, well-run joint, (which we are), without the sense that shit could get dangerously strange at any moment does not qualify.
It should also be noted as other potential disqualifiers that we no longer have a condom machine in the restroom, nor are there discarded whippits strewn about.

While we do have a pinball machine and a great jukebox, as well as having a string or two of year-round Christmas lights, all dive staples, we do understand and concede that just having them doesn’t make you a dive.

What we do understand however, and here’s where I think we do qualify, is that a dive bar is one of society’s best accidentally-created things ever and we believe it’s clear to even the most casual observer that no one could ever have planned this place.
In reality, dive bars are, put simply, neighborhood places that serve reasonably-priced simple drinks with no pretense and have no-nonsense attitudes where, to name just one example, it's patently understood you can choose to be social, or can choose to be left alone to drink in private.
These are the places that pretty much say, “don’t F*** with anyone here and everything will be fine.” Our decor was once described as being whatever the clientele was wearing that day, and we acknowledge that our clientele is motley and changes according to the time of day.
In the words of local author Joy Williams, "The Parrot has an engagingly louche clientele, a pool table and a dart board, odd art, and an attitude best described by the sign over the booze shelves: 'No Sniveling'”

Loved this LFL attached to a restaurant in Key West when I visited a few months ago❤️ I always look around for Little Free Libraries when I’m vacationing somewhere! Do you do the same?

This account is basically just a photo diary of all the LFLs I visit 🤣
