We were a large group found a table in the back and it was awesome!! The Reuben and tater tots were spot on!! The DJ made it so awesome and engaging. He was super funny and played great sing a long songs. They have a picture booth in the back where you can take a pic of your group. Awesome place!! read more

Lots of TVs with different sports and movies playing, along with a live musician (at least when we were here there was, on a Sunday night). There is a photo op machine in the back of the bar. The bathrooms are clean for a small pub - hey, if you know, you know lol This was a cool spot. It wasn't a tiny pub either. Its a good size read more

Drinks, Music, and Fun! Irish Kevin's is a great Irish Pub that knows how to cater to a wide variety of customers. The wait staff is amazing. It can be jam packed and they will still take your order with a smile.  We didn't eat, but the drink selection had something for everyone. The music was great. We caught two different musicians while in town and both were entertainers who knew how to `interacted with the crowd. The Irish musician on Saturday night was a lot of fun.It is less crowded during the day and equally as fun with live music and cold drinks. read more

So much fun! Great music/entertainment food is great even got a T-shirt!! And the famous Duvall Street where there's just bar after bar of fun. Don't miss the sunset down at Mallory Square.! read more

Whether you are Irish or not, this is a definite must on your walk-through Key West. Guinness is fresh and the music is a natural caffeine high. Loved it and stayed for 1 more read more

Music, beer, and overall vibe made the visit worthwhile. Busy afternoon and the bartenders/staff did a great job keeping up!

The entertainment might not the best but he will get you laughing and play some songs you definitely won't hear anywhere else. Very crowd and load, so it can take a minute to move around and get your drinks not many places to sit so you'll be on your feet. If your here around Saint Patrick's day this would be the place to go. read more

This spot was unexpectedly fun. Wandering around, we stumbled in and found a bar full of jolly people from around the world wanting to be Irish. We had some mixed drinks and the potato balls which were amazing. Cheesy mashed potato deep fried to indulgent yumminess. The singer on stage stopped everyone walking in to ask where they were from and someone in the crown bout the whole bar shots for Christmas. Was a really fun night! read more

If you like Irish pubs then this might be your type of place. It's extremely loud, bit of a rowdy but friendly crowd. Decent prices for mediocre food. But I guess people come for the Irish feel. Just couldn't hear anything above the music. So it's a pass for me. read more

Fun place with lots of live entertainment! It's a party in this place at all times. Great sing along and people having a great time. If downstairs is crazy, there's an upstairs area that was totally empty. The drinks were great and they had the best fried pickles I have ever had!!! Do not skip these. They are beyond delicious and the portion is HUGE. The fish and chips are also tasty. Jenny the bartender was amazing and so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable of the area. She was very attentive throughout our time there. There's also a merch shop so you can grab some great gear to remember the good times had at Irish Kevins! read more

We stopped by Irish Kevin's bar and restaurant because there was loud laughing, energetic dancing, and good music and it looked like a fun place! It was packed on a Friday night. We found a place to sit and were served fairly quickly considering how busy they were. Our server was Lara, who was very friendly and fun. We ordered a couple of drinks and those were good. We didn't order food because we got there at 11pm when they stop serving food. They also have a gift shop for souvenirs. You can reserve the upstairs for private parties. It's a large place. There is live entertainment every night. We loved the gorgeous chandelier! We would definitely return next time we are in Key West! read more

Another late night live music bar that should be on the top of everyone's bucket list in Key West. Great sing a long rock and roll where they encourage drunk customers to come up on stage to help sing or do something funny. Nothing fancy at all, lots of wooden tables. Just a good time with friends and strong drinks. read more

We had a great time at Kevin's celebrating a friend's birthday The musician on stage called her out and said happy birthday and gave her a shot of tequila. It's been several times since we visited Key West and always return back to Kevin's. I highly recommend this bar one of the top bars in Key West. read more

A great lively place in Key West and a good place to watch sports . The live entertainment is fun and the service was good. The food looked good but I only had beverages . It is worth going in among all the bars on the strip. read more

Has the dive bar feel, with terrific drinks, great bartendars, and of course, Irish Kevin! And Irish Kevin IS an entertainer there too! And there is a cool story behind that, and I bought his book there, and you should too! Just a fun place to go as you make your way down Duval street! A terrific experience!!! PS: AND yes they have Jamison and other Irish specialties! read more

Irish Kevin's Key West 4-30-25 Stopped by Irish Kevins on a Wednesday afternoon about 3pm. This place was not that full, but they did have someone on stage singing which is some of the reason we stopped by. I wanted a Reuben which had Corn Beef, Sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese, Thousand Island Dressing on a Toasted Rye. I got a side of Coleslaw to go with it. My friend got a Burger and all the works on it and a side of Fries. We sat at the bar and our ordered came out in a reasonable time. My Reuben was amazing, it was so good. Even the Coleslaw was terrific. This order came with a large pickle spear even that was good. My friends Burger and Fries were very good. All our food was hot and very tasty. The only thing we did not care for was the entertainer on the stage. The guy singing sang a bunch of filthy songs. I figured as talented as he seemed he did not need to do that. Next time I will check out the singers a bit before we take a seat or go someplace else. I give Irish Kevin's a 4 out of 5 stars. Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun. Gulf Coast Terry read more

Live singer was good - range of songs and took requests - cover songs like Bon Jovi. Nice entertainer!! So I wasn't a fan of the fish and chips. Not chips and the fish was not cod or even grouper - bland. But they did have malt vinegar so I gulped it down. It was tasty, and we ended up drinking and singing along to the tunes. A good time! read more

Good drinks and good food... just wasn't a fan of the guitar player they had there. He gave mad creep vibes for sure.

Great Irish bar. We had just come from another bar nearby, which was not fair, as that place was amazing as well. I would normally give this place a five star rating, but after crazy amazing service and eating at the prior bar I feel that wouldn't be fair. This is a great Irish bar and we would go back in a second. If you are looking for this kind of bar, this is your place! Was very busy when we were there and the wait staff tried to check on us as much as they could. I did not sample the menu here as we had just ate at another bar. read more

My bar tender was Brianna OK Brianna apparently did not like me and had thrown me out. I'm 66 years old and never been thrown in my life out of any establishment. She apparently had an attitude and did not like me. Very Embarrassing read more

In all honesty, this review is not of the food and beverages here, but of the live music and the energetic atmosphere. My niece and I were walking around Duval street in Key West, enjoying the live music and noise from all the pubs, when we came across Irish Kevin's. The mood here was easily 500 times more cheery and fun and we couldn't help and walk in. The pub was completely full and we just managed to get a couple of stools. The reason was mainly the singer and performer. He got the crowd engaged, made us all sing along, welcomed everyone that stepped in and generally made sure we were all having fun! I plan to go back tonight as well. From the look on the faces of the others, I'd say the food and beverages were not disappointing, neither was the service. Totally recommended! read more

Very much a FUN Irish pub with live music! Very quick and simple menu of bar options- the fries are delicious, so are the soft pretzel sticks! The drink options are fun - their punch option was fruity and definitely a must try. They only have Kermit's key lime pie for dessert so that was a tiny bit of a disappointment but it is key west so others probably love this! Service is quick despite it being so busy! The performers were very characteristic and talented and definitely got the crowd going! read more

While on a cruise with my girlfriends, my one friend (who'd been to Key West a handful of times) insisted we stop in at Irish Kevin's, and I'm glad we did. We needed a chance to cool down with a few beers, and a perk was that they had a live musician playing. A very friendly guy who took our song suggestions (Rattlin' Bog to name one), it gave the entire place a great atmosphere and everyone joined in the fun. We didn't get any food while we were there but we definitely made some great memories. It's a great place to add your list of spots to visit in Key West, especially during St Patrick's Day! read more

Come here for the best fried pickles & definitely best Ruben sandwich ever!!! So yummy! Fun atmosphere too!! TVs for sports too

Currently here for a pub crawl with our cruise. Bartenders are not friendly at all. My drink came with no garnish and no straw however other people in my group got both (different bartender, equally rude). This bar was paid for our drinks that we paid for with our package. We are still paying customers. Was going to buy a shirt but I'll give my money to a bar with better service. read more

Funny story, I was one of the managers who helped construct this bar however, it was under a different name and that was 25 years ago. Things have changed. A lot of things are not the same but a lot of things really are. It's kind of weird to walk in there and know that I physically Helped put in that cabinet and hey, I decided that the stage goes in this location. I have to say that the people who bought it and turn it into Irish Kevins are doing a much better job than the last people who owned it. They understand that Duval Street needs a bar with shots and live musicians who can engage the crowds. I've been in here at least 50 times, the food is adequate, sometimes it's even good. The atmosphere is just what you're looking for in that location. The drinks are good, the staff is well trained. The entertainment is always on point. This is always a stop on our Duval crawl. read more

The singer on st. Patrick's day was awful. Couldn't finish a song without pandering to the crowd and played his own crowd noise after every song while no one clapped. Vulgar when it was completely unnecessary. Killed the vibe. read more

This is one of my top 3 late night bars...Been to Irish Kevin's numerous times while bar hopping on Duval Street in Key West. It boasts a massive bar top with plenty of tables and seats. Plenty of liquor choices, but would hope they increase their craft beer selection. Never ate here so no food review. At night the bar has incredible musicians playing folk and classic rock and roll tunes. They have some seating in the front for great people watching on the Duval strip. Strong 4.5 stars here. read more

Sooooo much fun! Perfect place for Karaoke, bar food and a good time. Service was great from what I remember. Everyone seemed to enjoy the party like atmosphere. I will say the band and lead singers on both days that we went were fantastic!!!!! read more

Great music with audience participation. Bar service was good. We didn't eat there, but food looked good.

This place was pretty cool and it's actually near Sloppy Joe's. So all we did was walk to it to have a drink. I had their famous Green Gator drink. Not bad, kind of sour but only had one. The service was top notch. I even ended buying a t-shirt from them as a souvenir and got to keep my cup. Maybe next time I come I'll try something to eat. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to listen to decent music and pretty good drinks. Two thumbs up. read more

Irish Kevin's - My green gator, it was sour but tasty. - Bars Near Me - Key West, Florida

Check your credit card receipts and take a picture of your signed copy!!!!! I tipped cash, when I got home the server must have added a gratuity as it was more than what I signed for. I will be disputing this with my credit card. Been going here for 20 years.... Sad that greed of a server ruined all those years at the bar! read more

I recommend based on the vibe, the live entertainment is excellent The service was really good I would say the boxtys are worth ordering but rest of food not really read more

Super friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Love the TV monitor showing our nation's heroes. Thank you Irish Kevin's for honoring our heroes. read more

The music and the vibe was fantastic and the beer was cold, then we ordered food...We ordered after a lengthy wait for service our appetizer arrived, mini corn dogs that came out hot and dark brown....upon further inspection and turning them over, each one was burnt on the bottom which meant the chef passed off a bad cook...Sent them back and they came back perfect in 5 minutes....Piping hot and golden brown with an excellent spicy mustard. I ordered a grilled fish sandwich which arrived with a huge amount of perfectly cooked french fries and the tail section of what looked like tail section of kingfish....It smelled fishy, never a good sign....took one bite, sent it back......On a positive note the Rueben sandwich was acceptable.....Not the barmaids fault at all. My bad as the best thing to do at an Irish Pub is drink and sing. As a side note visit Kevin Barry's in Atlanta which my son in law owned....Same vibe but with Great Food.... read more
