We stopped by Surely Siren Saloon for dinner and were blown away. The drinks were amazing, the musicians were so talented (we stayed so long we listened to two artists!), the staff was SO fun and friendly, but the real cherry on top was how great the food was!! I wish we took more photos, but the smashburger was some of the best we’ve ever had (this is coming from a Chicagoan), the pig wings were amazing and came clean off the bone! And the umami fish sliders were so so tasty. Again, we were blown away and highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed

Great afternoon drinking and eating in the Heart of Key West. Right near Mallory Square and the Sunset Celebration. They have an award winning Mermarita and Smashburger. Perfect cruise ship destination. Phoebe was the best bartender.

Trust the other popular reviews here, this place has the best burger around. In fact, I am from Minnesota and this might be the best burger I’ve ever had.
I ordered the original burger with sweet tots and a side of pickled fries. Everything was absolutely amazing. The burger literally melts in your mouth.

Great atmosphere, food was fantastic. The live music on stage was surprisingly good, which I hadn’t expected in a bar. The prices and portions were surprisingly reasonable for Key West. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

The staff was super nice. We had the pulled pork tater tots and the smashburgers. They were so delicious – I have no notes! Their margaritas are also deeeeelicious. I definitely recommend stopping here if you’re in key west.

Locally woman owned bar upstairs in Key West. Tons of variety and crazy good service. We didn’t eat but the drinks were a good price and super cold.

THE SMASH FILES — Surly Siren Saloon, Key West FL
Score: 8.4/10
This one came with a trophy in the shot and deserved it. Surly Siren brought a super flavorful, non-traditional Smashie with their own spin on the classic.
Breakdown:
✔️ Patty: extra delicious thanks to a garlic-butter glaze they marinate it in before grilling
✔️ Cheese: two kinds — cheddar underneath + a mozzarella-style melt on top, both fused perfectly
✔️ Crisp: solid edge sear, great texture
✔️ Veggies: fresh, balanced, clean bite
✔️ Sauces: classic ketchup + mustard combo
⚠️ Docked points because it was a single smash, not a traditional double
Overall: A unique, flavorful take on a Smashburger with big Key West personality. Definitely worth trying — and they’ve got another version with grilled onions + chipotle aioli if you want to mix it up. Hard to argue with an award-winning burger by the water.
