Round House Bar

⭐ Starting Point · Est. 1873

START

"I've left Stanley a note: 'Meet me where the island's oldest secret lives — where music has played since 1873 and the steps hold a hundred stories.' You're already here, darling. Look up."

📸 Photo Challenge

Strike your most dramatic Mrs. Roper pose on the famous Round House steps! Big caftan energy required. This is THE official group photo spot!

📱 QR code signs will be posted at each location — scan to officially check in at the event!

Beer Barrel Saloon

World's Longest Bar

To Do

"I told Stanley I needed space — 405 feet of it, to be precise. Mrs. Roper does NOT do cramped quarters. Find where the bar never seems to end, and neither do the good times."

📸 Photo Challenge

Line up along the world's longest bar and take a panoramic group shot! Try to capture as much bar (and as many caftans) as possible in one frame.

Tortugas — The Key West North Buoy

Put-in-Bay's Northernmost Bar

To Do

"Key West is 1,205 miles south. Canada is 5 miles north. And Mrs. Roper? She's right here at the island's most famous landmark marker. Find the big red buoy — you can't miss it."

📸 Photo Challenge

Pose with the iconic Tortugas "Key West North / Northernmost Bar" buoy! Bonus points for the most dramatically tropical pose in your caftan.

📱 QR check-in sign at the buoy.

Perry's Victory Monument

War of 1812 · National Landmark

To Do

"I've always appreciated a man who makes a grand entrance. Find the column that rises 352 feet toward the heavens — Commander Perry would have loved my caftan. He had excellent taste."

📸 Photo Challenge

Re-enact Perry's famous victory pose at the base of the monument — one hand on hip, gazing dramatically into the distance. Full Mrs. Roper regalia with the monument behind you!

📱 QR check-in sign at the monument base.

Mr. Ed's Bar & Grille

Multi-Level · Live Stage

To Do

"Stanley would never climb stairs voluntarily. That's precisely why I love a place with levels — find the bar that goes up and up, because Mrs. Roper deserves to be seen from every floor."

📸 Photo Challenge

GET ON THE STAGE at Mr. Ed's! Strike your most dramatic Three's Company-inspired pose — arms wide, big smile, full caftan spread. You are the star of THIS episode.

📱 QR check-in sign near the stage.

The Boardwalk

Waterfront · Gateway to the Islands

To Do

"I told Stanley: 'I am not eating soup out of a can when there is lobster bisque on an island.' Find where the famous sign says 'Gateway to the Islands' — and where the food meets the water."

📸 Photo Challenge

Pose in front of the famous "Gateway to the Islands" Boardwalk sign! Channel your inner island royalty — this is your kingdom.

📱 QR check-in sign at the Boardwalk entrance.

Put-in-Bay Brewery & Distillery

Local Craft · Island Made

To Do

"I've always appreciated things that age well — fine wine, island spirits, and Mrs. Roper herself. Find where the island makes its own magic, barrel by barrel. Cheers, darling."

📸 Photo Challenge

Find the biggest barrel or brewing equipment and pose beside it like you own the place. One hand on barrel, one on hip. Island brewer chic, Mrs. Roper edition.

📱 QR check-in sign at the brewery entrance.

Rita's Cantina / The Keys

Tropical Vibes · Waterfront

To Do

"Stanley once said 'Helen, you can't have a tropical vacation every weekend.' I proved him absolutely wrong. Find the frozen drinks and the marina views, darling. Mrs. Roper has arrived."

📸 Photo Challenge

Grab a frozen drink (or just pose like you have one!), find the best waterfront view, and take the most vacation-glamour photo you can. This is the vacation Mrs. Roper always deserved!

📱 QR check-in sign at the waterfront bar entrance.

Goat Soup & Whiskey

The Wild Card Stop

To Do

"Even a woman of my refinement appreciates the unexpected. I once told Mr. Furley: 'Adventure, darling, is found in the most unlikely names.' Find where the menu surprises you most."

📸 Photo Challenge

Re-enact your most dramatic Three's Company moment! Someone looking shocked, someone hiding behind a menu, someone caught mid-gossip. The more sitcom-chaotic, the better!

📱 QR check-in sign at the entrance.

🌙

Red Moon Speakeasy

⭐ GRAND FINALE · 9:00 PM

FINALE

"If you've made it this far, you've proven you're worthy of my secrets. I've been here all along — between the Round House and the Park Hotel. Look for what's hidden in plain sight, darling. The speakeasy awaits. I'll have a drink waiting."

📸 Grand Finale Photo Challenge

The whole gang reunites at the Red Moon! Take your most epic Mrs. Roper group photo inside the speakeasy. You found her. Celebrate like the fabulous neighbors you are! 🎉🌙
