The shoe.   New Year's Eve tradition.
Robert S.

With live entertainment, friendly strippers and a mostly male crowd, this gay-owned and operated pub opened in 1995 and it's one of the most popular gay bars in the city. This Pub is basically a New Orleans themed gay bar in Key West. Here you'll find regular drag performers, strippers, clothing optional/male-only garden bar with a pool and a jacuzzi. Every night the 'Men Of Bourbon' get their kit off and prance around for your amusement. Private lap dances are also available. Key West is, of course, a legendary gaystination and Bourbon St. Pub is in the heart of the action. It's a good location to see and be seen. The Bourbon also hosts popular New Year's Eve parties as well as themed parties and weekly pool parties. The dropping of the "shoe" with a famous drag queen is a New Year's eve tradition in the city. Friendly staff and bartenders.

Margarita and Keylime colada

Loved this place! We stumbled upon this place by noticing their sign for Keylime coladas. The Keylime colada was the best we had ever had! The drinks were amazing!! Every mixed drink we had was made very well (also strong). The bartender was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect! The vibe of the place was very welcoming. They also had lots of TVs that were playing football if that's your thing. Overall a great place to stop by and have a drink or two!

The nightly musical act

Pre-Covid, this was one of Florida's most fun gay bars. These days, the experience is marred by a terrible music act, every night until midnight. A middle aged karaoke enthusiast sings his favorite hits off tune and much too loud. Drunk women woo in delight. But, for everyone else, it's just a bad karaoke night without the fun of variety or watching your friends perform. If you visit, make sure to push through to the outside bar where the bartenders are great and the crowd is relaxed and friendly.

This is a great place if you're a single gay man feeling a little, dare are say it, trashy? It's a rough group of trade parked out front having cocktails. If you venture towards the back where there's a warning sign which puts you on clear notice that no one in the back is wearing clothes. Beware. We ventured into the back and sure enough the bartender was stark naked. As were numerous patrons in the pools and spas. I'm certainly not a prude but this is where I draw the line. I need to see someone that can I'll do that when I get home.

Key Lime Colada.

The female bartender is the worst we have encountered in KW. Unfortunate as we have loved this bar.

The concept here is executed so well - it is one of best finds we have found in years…read more First, the decor and atmosphere is incredible. The decor is seductive in such a tasteful and classy way, everything is so romantic. It's beautiful. Cozy, intimate booths. Sparkling chandeliers flickering in candlelight. Ambient lighting. It is a perfect place to end your evening with your partner. We made reservations the morning of, on a Wednesday evening for our anniversary, and were seated promptly. Service was incredible from start to finish. I appreciate their ipad menus with questions to ask your partner, peruse the menu, and read about the origins. There are plenty of drinks and deserts with double entendre names, they're so fun. Huge positive that they have virgin drinks, and several to choose from. Both deserts we tried were out of the world delicious. The missionary crisp ice cream and flavor was 10/10, no notes to improve. Key lime from behind was the best key lime I've had in my life and quickly became the best we have tried on Key West. Incredible and what a lovely place!!

Well, no it isn't…read more But our party of five enjoyed having drinks and dessert here. It's really more aimed at a young couple in love, but we had fun. Romantic lighting and private booths made for some good ambiance. The iPad menus were great and very useful in selecting desserts and drinks. Everything on order is accompanied by a double entendre title, which makes it fun to pick. Candy rimmed beer was good; and the berry crisp and ice cream offerings were tasty. Honestly too big, even for two. But they were trying to do something different. To know: they do not have a license for hard liquor. A fun spot to have a sweet treat. Maybe don't bring the kids.

Mary Ellen's Bar and Kitchen…read more From the outside, it's just a plain white building sittin' in the sun nothing flashy, nothing pulling you in. Real easy to walk right past it without a second thought. But step inside... and now you're in a whole different story. The walls, the ceiling, the corners every inch feels like it's been collected over time, layered with memorabilia and personality. And the wild part? It doesn't stay the same. The décor can shift with the mood, like the place is alive and just decides to reinvent itself whenever it feels like it. You go in thinking it's just a quick stop. Then the drinks start flowing, the room starts buzzing, and next thing you know you're laughing louder than you planned, talking longer than you expected. Sure, maybe there was a little drinking involved but truth be told, it's the atmosphere doing most of the heavy lifting. They've got events, music, off-the-wall fun mixed in with a laid-back crowd, and it all just works without trying too hard. The food holds its own too solid comfort stuff that hits right when you need it and the service keeps things moving smooth without missing a beat. It's one of those spots... looks like nothing on the outside, but inside it's a whole experience. Another one of those "hidden gems," yeah but this one earns it the hard way.
