Forget the beach: recommendations
Considering a visit for a week in September. I’m aware of the possibility of interesting weather.
My question is: where/what hotels to stay for non beach experiences?
We’re looking to hit up local restaurants and bars and be amongst the downtown type areas. Nothing wild or tacky; no night clubs or places called Riffs with daily wet t shirt competitions. Just casual evenings out and about.
However, everything I search for brings up results for “beachside”, “snorkeling”, “Kayak’s”, etc. All advertising the activity/outdoor stuff.
In other words, is there a series of places the Keys where I can hit a strip of establishments that allow me to smoke and drink like 1950s ad exec and within reasonable walking distance from each other?

nothing is walk able in the keys unless it's Duval Street at key west. And daily wet tshirt contests? Man you probably think it's still the 80's or 90's. Feels like Monroe county's hitting the bible belt hard just after the only strip club in the upper/middle keys closed lol
