    Truly a great Irish Kevin’s experience and the food… wow was the food amazing ! The burgers the wings were excellent and we were just getting started! Best place to enjoy live music and have some key west drinks!

    Irish Kevin’s is my fave bar in the entire US. Been to Key West 8 times now and every time I go I make a beeline for this bar. (I’ll stay all day if you let me…sigh…my friends drag me out) The atmosphere is so much fun with great musicians and everyone always sings and jokes around. It can be tough to get a drink when it’s busy so you really have to squeeze in to belly up. The t shirt shop is awesome. I have a collection of shirts now. They have a live stream and sometimes when I’m missing the keys I just put it on the background at work and get happy! I would post my videos but they are a bit racy as the performer comedy/lyrics are very adult oriented.

    I loved this place! Loved the singer who was super fun and engaging. This was the best bar I went into at Duval street. Has a good ambience. They did not have pitcher for beer that is what could be done better.

    Fun stop in Key West. Bartenders friendly and helpful. Music was overbearing. Had the corned beef Rueben. Corned beef was excellent but the sandwich was a little messy with a lot of sauce. I would order again light on the sauce.

    What can I say about this place....it's awesome! We fully intended on one beer then going to the next bar, (Duval Crawl). We ended up staying there all night, the drinks were great, service was fast, but the entertainment was great! Definitely recommend for a fun night.

    I am Irish Kevin. Well... not who started it... just Irish and Kevin. The live music from everyone I've seen is amazing! The prices are great. I love the place. You really should at least try going here. I really doubt you'll be disappointed!!!

    Wonderful atmosphere! Live music, nice selection of food. We had the chicktatoes, really nice choice. We also had the fish and chips and they were delicious. Courtney was our waitress and she was absolutely wonderful!

    We were here the day after St Patrick's day. Place is high energy!! You're sitting at these long tables with other people. The day we were there, they had live entertainment. he was fun doing Irish drinking songs and old school favorites. He got everyone pumped up and. Place looks like it's always a good time We only got drinks here. Best advice order you second round when you get your 1st round because if it's busy, it will be a while before the waitress can get back around to you.

    Great place to hang out and party in Key West live music is pretty good too

  • 2/5 Penny E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good but dry. The bartenders really suck. Not even a smile from any of them. Left for that reason. Music was good though. Also drinks are over priced even for here. Nope not going back.

    Fantastic place with live music. Everyone up singing and dancing. Would definitely return.

  • 5/5 Alex J. 2 years ago on Google
    Super fun atmosphere! Live musician did a fantastic job including the crowd (funny and sarcastic). The garlic Parmesan wings were incredible and would recommend to any in the mood for a juicy and flavorful wing. Also, wave hi to Mom on the web cam showing the stage!

    The atmosphere in this bar felt like home! My husband and I are from Boston and we got lost in here, with the friendly staff, live music and rowdy crowd! The owner was up playing the night we went and he had a beer drinking competition! My husband won, so maybe that’s why we loved the place so much!!

    Entertainment was awesome, place is great. Drinks are cold. Unfortunately the two apps we ordered were just okay. Nothing special at all. I wouldn’t get them again. Tator tot nachos and fried pickles. No salt or flavor in either dish.

    We must have stopped at Irish Kevin's 5-6 times during our stay in Key West, both for day and evening drinks as well as bites to eat. During the daytime, we always had a table and all of the servers we had were all welcoming and attentive. It gets really packed at night, and you typically have to order drinks at the bar. They have live music throughout the entire day, so it's always a fun and lively atmosphere. Though there was one particular, obnoxious musician (see photo). He obviously thought he was funny but really came off as grating, particularly when making borderline racist/homophobic comments.

    Key West was the first stop on our cruise. Ended up here for a quick bite to eat. Live music was playing, and they were super busy. Server came over quickly for dri k order. Food came out fast and was much better than I anticipated. Would definitely stop here again!

    Never had food here so don't know about that. Often this is the most entertaining live music available on Duval, but of course it depends on the night. Check it out and stick around if you like the energy, move on if not.

  • 5/5 Jason 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best spots on Duval, for the A/C, and the overall atmosphere (including the live music and IRISH KEVIN, himself)! What a great time!

  • 5/5 Wendy C. 9 months ago on Google
    What a fun place. my 1st time in the keys and couldn't have asked for better food better service and a better atmosphere. Thank you

    Really loud and crowded during the singer and songwriter festival. We were part of a private party. Almost impossible to get in and out of the bar with so many people crowded by the stage. Never found any emergency exit. Although there must be one, its not clearly marked. The food for the party was pretty good, we didn't order from the menu.

  • 3/5 Jill H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun bar, go for the drinks & fun, but not food. Terrible food, way too salty & prefabricated... not real Irish food. If you haven't been, just know they make fun of you when your there, it's part of the fun! Don't say you're from New Jersey. 😁😂

  • 5/5 Taylor Engel, FL Keys R. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this bar! Our top place to hang out whether you are here in the afternoon or night they always have live music and it is always great! Nice place to escape our Florida heat - AC is a must so you don’t get overheated. Great food, Make sure to come in at night, it deff gets busy but it’s one of the best places in town for live music. Irish Kevin gets behind the mic too! They can do private events upstairs if you want a cool place to hang out for a party.

    This sign says place it yourself and we did and we didn't see anybody on the floor for a while so we moved to the bar. After we moved to the bar we got good service. We got some kind of tater tot nacho deal or something and then they were delicious and I got the Guinness braised corned beef Reuben It was wonderful. I took the other half back to the room with me and ate it cold later and it was still good. Sorry I didn't think to take a picture of anything until I had it later. Also, they had crown Apple here so that makes me happy.

    Such a cool little bar, always has live music. My club sandwich from here was probably one of the best meals I ate while I was here. Drinks were decent, service was alright. One of the most popular clubs here!
