What to Do Before Sunset at Mallory Square
If you are heading to the Mallory Square Sunset Celebration, make a plan before the crowd gathers. El Meson de Pepe is steps from the action, with Cuban food, mojitos, and live music.
1. Arrive Early to Secure Your Spot
Sunset time gets busy in Key West. Arriving early gives you time to grab a mojito, order Cuban food, find your group, and enjoy the music before the crowd fills Mallory Square.
2. Grab a Mojito or Cuban Cocktail
Fresh mint, lime, rum, citrus, and Key West energy make a mojito the perfect pre-sunset drink. Not drinking? Ask about mocktails and refreshing non-alcoholic options.
3. Sit Outside if the Weather Is Right
The patio brings together music, drinks, outdoor seating, and Mallory Square atmosphere. It's the perfect place to soak in the island vibes before the sun dips below the horizon.
4. Eat Before or After the Celebration
Whether you want a full dinner, something shareable, or Cuban comfort food before walking over to the sunset, El Meson de Pepe makes it easy to turn sunset into a full Key West experience.
5. Explore a Living Cuban Museum
El Meson de Pepe is more than a restaurant. It is a family-owned Cuban restaurant and living museum, preserving Cuban food, music, history, and hospitality at Mallory Square.
