Good call on The Rum Bar. Drinks were good and they did have a decent selection of sipping rums. Unfortunately, the rest of Duval and its near-environs was a wasteland for cocktails. However, I did stumble upon a place called The Other Side, which is in an old house on Duval. It's in no way a tiki joint, but focuses on "craft cocktails" so at least you know you're getting a well-made drink, as opposed to the slushie machine sweet dreck that is in alot of the other places. It shares the house with a craft beer bar called The Porch, and both have outdoor/veranda seating. Quite, dark, and chill, for those who want some Key West respite with a good drink. 429 Caroline Street http://theothersidekw.com/
