DAY 1: CHELI CHECKS IN AT SLOPPY JOE’S
The Bandido crew kicked off the trip at the iconic Sloppy Joe’s! The line wrapped around the block as fans waited hours to meet Chris, snag a photo, and score an El Bandido Yankee Margarita served by the man himself behind the bar. Safe to say, we started strong. Later, we cooled down with sunset drinks at the Bali Bar, the Key West Hotel’s hidden rooftop gem. 
DAY 2: MARGS, PICKLES, AND PUCKS
We rolled into the famous Conch Republic Seafood Company, where Chris tasted some of the island’s best local catch paired, of course, with our signature El Bandido Yankee Happy Hour Margaritas. Then came the hockey highlight of the trip at Pickles Pub & Sandbar, aka the go-to hangout for Key West hockey fans. Chris got behind the bar again, this time serving up El Bandido Yankee Shots and the bar’s fan-favorite Pickle Margaritas. The crowd? Electric.
GRAND FINALE: 1,000 SHOTS & BIG CHEEZEE ENERGY
We closed it out at Big Cheezees, where the vibes were high and the tequila was flowing. One fan was so hyped, he bought two rounds of 500 El Bandido Yankee shots for the entire bar. That’s not a typo. That’s the Bandido effect.
DRINKS WITH PURPOSE
While we were busy making memories (and pouring margaritas), we were also raising money for Reef Relief, a Key West-based nonprofit doing incredible work to protect our coral reefs and marine life. Every sip of El Bandido Yankee over the weekend supported a cleaner, healthier ocean.
