Captain Tony's Saloon is a bar in Key West, Florida, United States, located at 428 Greene Street.
The bar has been patronized through the years by many well-known artists, writers and celebrities. When a celebrity visits, a barstool is added that is painted with that patron's name.[citation needed] The bar includes barstools painted with the names of Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Jimmy Buffett, Shel Silverstein, John Prine, John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman, Mike Leach, among others.[citation needed]
Above the sign outside the building is a large Atlantic goliath grouper that Captain Tony caught and had preserved. It is said that if you throw a quarter into the mouth of the fish, good luck will follow you until you leave the island.[citation needed]
