In Key West, the afternoon carries a rhythm all its own. Sunlight lingers over the shoreline, palms sway in the ocean breeze, and the day softens into something meant to be savored. At Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton, that moment now has a signature experience: Happy Hour at The Canary Room.
Served daily from 2–4 PM, this inviting ritual brings together signature cocktails, wines by the glass, and thoughtfully crafted small plates in one of the resort’s most distinctive and storied spaces.
Whether you’re returning from a morning on the water or simply seeking a refined place to unwind, The Canary Room offers an effortless transition into the evening ahead.
Discover The Canary Room
Set within the historic grounds of Casa Marina, The Canary Room is a cocktail lounge that feels both classic and inviting. The space is intimate, layered with texture, and designed for conversation. It reflects the spirit of Key West while holding onto the elegance that defines the resort.
Happy Hour is an ideal time to experience it. The atmosphere is relaxed, the light is softer, and the pace of the day shifts into something more social.
A Story Behind the Name
The Canary Room takes its name from A Canary for One, a short story by Ernest Hemingway. His time in Key West left a lasting influence on the island, and that connection carries through in the space.
The lounge is also home to a full-room mural by local artist Katlin Spain. Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, and a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute, Spain is known for reworking landscapes through color, texture, and layered form. Drawing from her island surroundings, her mural brings movement and depth to the room, creating an experience that feels both rooted in Key West and visually unexpected.
Signature Cocktails
The cocktail menu draws from both classic technique and literary inspiration.
Guests can enjoy:
- Death in the Afternoon with absinthe and prosecco
- Boulevardier with rye whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth
- Hemingway Mule with vodka, lime, ginger beer, and grapefruit
- Old Man and the Sea with Bacardi, lime, agave, and bitters
- Key West Refresh with Empress gin and cucumber tonic
Each drink is balanced and intentional, designed to match the setting and the moment.
Shareable Bites
The menu also features small plates that are easy to share and full of flavor.
Favorites include:
- Conch and crab fritters with smoked tomato tartar and pineapple
- Shrimp ceviche with citrus, chili, and cilantro
- Truffle fries served crisp with truffle oil
- Chips, salsa, and guacamole
- Hummus with olive-chickpea salad and naan
- Wings with buffalo or chipotle citrus sauce
Together, they create a casual and social dining experience that pairs naturally with the drinks.
