Key West & The Keys

Florida Keys

The Keys are where the original Rum Runner was poured in 1972 and where sunset is effectively a scheduled event. Overwater decks, working-waterfront bars, and a serious sipping-rum library in Marathon.

We are not gathering here yet. Phase I is Northeast Florida, and the next market opens when there is an Organizer to run it and a room worth booking every month. Everything below is scouting, not a schedule - join free and tell us this is your market, because that is how we decide where to go next.

Cigar lounges

Ember Nights country: low light, leather chairs, and conversation that outlasts the ash. No cigar required — plenty of members come for the rum on the shelf and the company.

We haven’t scouted the lounges here yet. Ember Nights land in a market once someone has actually sat in the room, so this list stays empty until then.
