    Great dive bar. Must pay cash, atm at the business location though. Strong cocktails, not sparing with the liquor. We visited end of pride weekend, very good people watching. Karaoke most nights, and fun vibe to blow off some steam

    This is our go to place for a cold beer! We stumbled upon this bar when we stayed at The Paradise Inn 5 years ago. Each visit since we stop in for a couple beers.

    Key West, Florida —- “Bobby’s” is one of my 3 favorite pARTy Bars in Key West. Nightly karaoke is incredible ... lots of positive energy & smiles! A “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite pARTy Stop. Lots of monkey flair for this TRUE bar - not a restaurant with a bar, but pure bar! “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! 03.23.19

    Went with a friend for some karaoke and I was blown away by the bartender. They had an amazing voice and they were still pouring and mixing beverages. Good times good vibe. And I met a lot of interesting fun people that night

    Nice at first. Then very rude singers at the end. Grown men getting kicks bullying others. Not in a nice, high five after way. A run to their friends and giggle way. Bar was decent. Pick your poison.

    A divy bar that is cash only and has nightly karaoke around 9:30-ish. The service is friendly and welcoming. Definitely come as you are and have fun. Really chill and good for a more relaxed night. Outside of that not a bad place to start off before embarking on Duval.

    Super fun karaoke night! Small bar with a great setup and is definitely a place to go if you want to feel the real keys way of doing things . Safe space with great service! Close to the strip is a plus!

    So much fun, great staff, great people, great energy! Karaoke was a blast, people are super friendly, and we had a really great time. Plus it’s open later than most places in the area, which is nice if you tend to stay out past 2. So happy we found this place, and we ended up coming a few times on our 1 week stay. Easily some of the best nights on our trip.

    I went in and they don’t do karaoke till 9 and that was all I found out. Maybe I’ll go back. Many told me it was good time there

    Apparently, if you’re not gay, you’re not welcome Bobby can have his monkey The only good thing there was a karaoke host Maria

    Great little local dive bar. Very cheap, dark, and accommodating. Truman Capote should have drank here. All 3 of the bartenders are great. No food, but karaoke in the evenings.

  • 3/5 John D. 11 months ago on Google
    Let all the locals sing multiple songs before ever calling ANY visitors. Finally left after waiting 4 hours for friends to get an opportunity to sing. First host was great, second host sucked.

    Bartender was friendly and a wealth of local knowledge. Great cold beer and drinks in this everyone is welcome environment

  • 2/5 BW 1 year ago on Google
    The bartender was not very friendly nor nice. There's nothing posted that says that it's a cash-only bar. However he wasn't very nice about assuming that we didn't have cash on us when we ordered our drinks. We went there late afternoon early evening not very many people may be two. This is not a place for children and they do not serve food. The bar is limited and there is a few beers. Not a place that my group of four would go back to.

    Off the beaten path dive bar. Came with a group of people to do karaoke. We sang, we played pool. Fun times were had.

  • 5/5 Niki G. 1 year ago on Google
    Yeah… we’ve never had more fun in our lives. Good vibes and karaoke every night ! A “must stop by” attraction !

  • 5/5 Dion T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of... No, THE best karaoke bar on the island! All of the karaoke hosts are very knowledgable and fun, even the non-singers like me cam join in with some of the provided tambourine or maracas action. It's an ADORABLE little tiny bar with BIG heart and awesome staff!!! We love you Elaine!!!

    Great crowd, super friendly locals singing karaoke. I’ll be back soon! This is a great spot to hang out, meet people and have a good time.

    This is a great bar with a relaxed atmosphere. The karaoke was fun to watch and the cash only cocktails were good and inexpensive! Definitely will come back here!

    The bartender was very good. Took good care of a party of 7. At 9:30pm place packed out for Karaoke. Good time and friendly crowd. Make it a stop in KW. You won't be sorry you stopped.
