If you’re feeling inspired, head down to Aqua (711 Duval St.) for some karaoke Monday through Thursday starting at 11 p.m. (If you prefer your company more rough and tough rather than plucked and tucked, Key West’s leather and Levi’s bar, 1 Saloon, is also right next door.) and 11 p.m., and you can make reservations for the show online. You’ve got a few places to catch a drag show in Key West, but 801 Bourbon Bar (801 Duval St.) boasts the 801 Girls, including the legendary queen Sushi.
Once you’ve knocked back a few cold ones, it’s time to sit back and be entertained. The crowd at Bobby’s is mixed gay and straight, but when you’re shooting pool (or the breeze) in such a relaxed environment, no one seems to mind. Belly up to the bar and chat up a bartender or one of the friendly local regulars that frequent the beloved dive.
For those who like their bars small and smoky, Bobby’s Monkey Bar (900 Simonton St.) is a must-see.
