Reviews With Photos - Bourbon Street Pub

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.

This is truly a relaxing place to be yourself and not be stressed about anything. The pool area…read morehas a laid back atmosphere whether you're there at 7 AM or 7 PM and you are sure to enjoy good conversations and drinks with your fellow guests. Service at the cafe is very attentive and the staff are good at noticing when your drink is getting low and seeing if you want another one, as well as clearing away used cups to keep the area clean. I was really impressed that the happy hour for guests is not significantly "nerfed" down, with plenty of options available in every category of wine, beer, and mixed drinks so there is sure to be something you'll enjoy that is included. The key lime martini is quite good and you should definitely give it a try!

Island House used to be the vacation destination for us. This was our first stay since the remodel…read moreso it's been a few years. OK, where do I start? I'll start with the positives and then get to the negatives and rank them in order. Positives: 1. The palm trees and lush vegetation. 2. The decorations for pride and their 50th anniversary. 3. The food is still reasonably good, although the prime rib came out cold. 4. The rooms have been generally remodeled to be more modern. Negatives: 1. The room is cool in the morning, warms up by late afternoon, is hot by 9 PM, and doesn't start to cool back off until 2:30 AM. 2. The bar staff plays Spanish music only all day until you ask the front desk to have it switched to English to which the bar staff takes offense. 3. The bar staff is more interested in watching the FIFA soccer tournament than actually waiting on any guests. 4. The further you went back into the room away from the front door the weaker the Wi-Fi signal got until there was no signal. 5. The soap dispenser leaked onto the towels hanging on the towel bar below it. Instead of having it fixed, the towels were put on the floor. 6. The gang shower between the gym, indoor Jacuzzi, and steam room area smells like sewage. 7. The sitting area above the stairway and at the end of the hall next to room 210 is covered in and reeks of pigeon feces. See attached pic. Although the front desk and management are responsive, it used to be that these things were taken care of without guests needing to point them out or request they be fixed. Not sure if it's due to staff turnover and/or management turnover but hopefully this review will be taken seriously and help future guests as we will not be coming back anytime soon. My overall rating is a 1 because the negatives far outweigh the positives in importance for the price you pay. And when prices are raised, you would expect the service level would raise as well or at least stay the same, which, in this case has not. Please remember that you're in the HOSPITALITY SERVICE industry. This is basically lipstick on a pig.

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.
