Irish Kevin's ★ 4.0

$$duval-streetDaily 11:00-03:30

Irish Kevin's has run singalong sets on lower Duval since July 1998, a Key West show bar pouring Irish beer with a kitchen that serves until 23:00.

Tip: Entertainers work the crowd hard, so sit back from the stage if you would rather not be part of the act.

The Rum Bar ★ 4.6

$$duval-streetDaily 11:00-23:00

The Rum Bar pours one of Key West's deepest rum lists on the Speakeasy Inn porch, an upper Duval house whose basement once hid Prohibition bottles.

Tip: Ask the bartender to build a three-pour flight by island; the porch rockers are the best seats on upper Duval.

801 Bourbon Bar ★ 4.5

$$duval-streetDaily 12:00-04:00

801 Bourbon Bar anchors upper Duval as Key West's best-known drag room, with the 801 Girls performing nightly above a bar that pours until 04:00.

Tip: The downstairs bar is the walk-in room and the cabaret upstairs is the show; go late, because the bar runs to 04:00 every night.

Aqua Bar & Nightclub ★ 4.4

$$duval-streetMon-Thu 14:00-00:00; Fri-Sat 14:00-02:00; Sun 14:00-00:00

Aqua runs Key West's drag programme across a Duval Street complex of bars that includes the Birdcage Cabaret, the Back Bar and 22&Co under one roof.

Tip: The complex is several rooms rather than one bar, so check which room the night's show is in before you queue at the front door.

$$$historic-seaportDaily 17:00-23:00

Berlin's hides behind A&B Lobster House above Key West's harbour, a leather-chair speakeasy the operator dates as a local favourite since 1947.

Tip: You can order the full A&B menu at the bar, and the cigar terrace overlooks the marina; jazz nights run in season.

General Horseplay ★ 4.3

$$historic-seaportMon-Fri 15:00-02:00; Sat-Sun 12:00-02:00

General Horseplay mixes proper cocktails and pours craft beer on Caroline Street in Key West, with a hidden back bar opening nightly at 19:00.
