Misfit filed for a license through Florida’s Department of Business & Professional Regulation at 504 Angela St in Key West, with owner Jennifer Stefanacci confirming to What Now Miami that the business is targeting a mid-October opening. Stefanacci described the concept as both a bar and a food spot, serving light bites rather than a full dinner menu, a format built for grazing and lingering over drinks rather than a sit-down meal.

Stefanacci summed up the vibe she’s going for in one line. “If you are a misfit, you are welcome here,” she said, a phrase that doubles as both an explanation of the name and a good indication of the crowd she’s hoping to draw in.

Angela Street sits in the heart of Key West’s historic district, part of a walkable stretch just off Duval Street known for its dense mix of small bars, restaurants and guesthouses. The area draws a steady blend of longtime locals and the island’s year-round stream of tourists, giving a new bar in that pocket of town a built-in audience from day one. Key West’s bar scene has long leaned into character and personality over polish, with small, quirky spots often outlasting more conventional concepts, a tradition Misfit’s name and message seem to lean into directly.
