    This is definitely one of the best bars that we've been to... anywhere!! Absolutely great vibe all around. Fun crowd, great live music, and strong drinks at a great price! We had already had dinner, but I look forward to trying their food next time I visit Key West

    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

    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.!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Another great bar in the Key West area! A lot of seating. Drinks and food are excellent! The tater tot nachos are a must have! Our waitress was on top of everything. We got served right away.

    Awesome entertainment

    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!

    Gorgeous chandelier at Kevin's

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Wait staff is extremely rude. I do not recommend. Specifically, the young female bartender wearing a baseball cap.

    Is there an open mic night?

    I didn't see one the whole time we were there but I'd check their website just to be sure.

    We have been to Key West 10 times and an absolute staple of our visit, and the island, is Jeff Harris.

    I stopped by Captain Tony's Saloon and it was such a fun, classic Key West experience…read more The vibe is exactly what you'd want, laid-back, a little quirky, and full of character. There was live music playing, pool tables, and even some video games, so there's plenty to keep you and the family entertained while you hang out. Kids are allowed in, but they aren't allowed to sit at the bar. It definitely feels like one of those places where you can lose track of time in the best way. They also have a merch area with hoodies, stickers, and other souvenirs if you want to take a little piece of the experience home. And knowing it's one of the oldest bars in the Keys just adds to the charm and history of the place. The service was quick, you walk up to the bar and order then find a place to sit. Super chill and laid back. One fun thing you have to try is tossing a quarter into the fish's mouth outside... test your luck and see if you can land it! Can't forget the drinks! The rum punch is to die for... super refreshing and perfect for the Key West heat. Overall, such a fun stop if you're in town. Definitely worth checking out! Fun fact: - it used to be a morgue and ice house back in the day. it also used to be the original home of Sloppy Joes, before they moved to Duvall St.

    We were with friends from CO who were visiting Key West for the first time. After walking around…read moreMallory Square and down Duval Street, we decided to have a drink at Captain Tony's before going out to a different restaurant for dinner. Of course it is an attraction because it is supposedly the original Sloppy Joes where Ernest Hemingway hung out. It is dark inside with low ceilings. People have hung paper currency all over and you will also see lots of bras hanging from the ceiling. There is live music and lots of people watching. We enjoyed our drinks and the fun atmosphere.
