Great bar on Duval.
Live music, gets the crowd involved and takes requests.
Drinks were good, didn't try any food, but I suspect people come here for drinks.
Would recommend for a stop on a night outHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 54229256Mar 10, 2022
Irish Kevin's was cool. My first opinion is that it's just a loud, music bar on Duval that is sort of touristy. The bar tender was nice enough. The bar was packed so there was no time for her to really be friendly, outstanding and get to know us. Which is totally understanding. Plenty of people were getting appetizers or meals which looked good. They weren't 5 star entrees or anything. Typical bar food is what it looked like. They do not have any signature cocktails that I noticed. We just drank vodka with soda water so it was pretty straight forward for us. If you're looking for a place with either loud music or a live musician you'll probably find that here.

One of my favorite places to go. Always great music and lots of fun. If you can, listening to Irish Kevin is awesome.

Blah blah blah Irish pub key West. Important info: fried pickles are good and home made. The house Kevin's larger is decent and cheaper. The guitar guy will let ladies on stage and play tambourine.
Fact: it doesn't really look like Ireland. But is super fun like a good pub should be!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 132314361Feb 13, 2022
Probably one of the most entertaining bars on Duval street by far, this Irish bar, owned by authentically Irish Kevin, who also performs in the afternoons and is hilarious, this place is one of the larger bars on the street. The place sits smack in the middle of the hot spots and is close to Sloppy Joe's and has a huge bar inside. Kevin, the owner opened this place back in 1998 and has been here ever since entertaining the tourists and he has other live acts that also entertain. The stage area may be small, but they all put on a quite a show, complete with plenty of audience participation which is always fun. The music is great, the drinks flow heavily and you will not walk out of there without plenty of fun stories to tell!

Awesome sandwiches and appetizers. Very friendly and accommodating bartenders. I was surprised that a "tourist trap" on the "main drag" served such excellent food. Music during the day on a Monday was so cool! Can't wait to return!

We're in Key West about three times per year since we live close enough to drive down and Irish Kevin's is one of our favorites.
The bartenders are fabulous and (impressively!) always remember us. The musicians are excellent as well. Stop by the bars and see Dana, Tarah, Jasmine and let's not forget Phil.
Irish Kevin himself and Jeff Harris are just two of the great performers.
The food is great as well, especially for "bar food."Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Marykate D.PA, PA03Feb 12, 2023
Not usually one to leave reviews but Irish Kevin the singer/entertainment for the evening went beyond crude humor. Sexually explicit comments to women in the crowd, and a particularly disappointing racial "joke" was anything but funny. Warm beers too. Do NOT recommend.
