The Bull

Great spot to catch some live music with reasonably priced drinks. The second floor balcony has a great view of the street for people watching.

Great bar great music! I don’t know if the hotdog stand is always outside, but I had an amazing bra from there as well!

The bartender ( tall bald guy ) was rude to begin with. It was a quiet night , no customers at the bar when we walked in. He claimed he was pouring a double ( a splash of alcohol) then he said he saved us 16 dollars as he was putting his 2 $ tip in his tip jar after we paid 16$ for 2 glasses of soda! This joker needs to find another job. I’ve always had great service on the second floor until tonight. Tyler was great and the gal that works only Saturday (Laura?) was also great

Bartenders are very friendly and the crowds that come in vary depending on the tourism, but you are guaranteed to meet all sorts of folks wanting to listen to music, drink a little and just have a good time until closing time.

We went down to Key West for the Just a Few Friends tribute to Jimmy Buffett weekend. Stopped in The Bull for a drink and ended up hanging there multiple times over the 4 days. Debbie is great! She remembered something I drank a year ago, and I haven't been there since 2024. It's a great place for people watching, right on a busy corner. We'll be back!

Just had drinks on way back to ship after seeing the sights around town! Murals on first floor were incredible, second floor was great spot to sit and watch the going’s on down below, 3rd floor (rooftop) was great place to literally undress and unwind…. But leave your phone in your clothes!!

One of my favorite spot to go in keywest!! Love the vibe.

Went twice on our trip - Tuesday 23rd Sept - great service really lovely bartender lady, great music the singer was amazing Wednesday 24th Sept - empty, female singer again was very good but the bar tender (Nick) rude and aggressive and extremely unwelcoming - we had one drink and left. Shame as Tuesday night was amazing and we spent hours here Real hit and miss bar

We only went for drinks at the whistle bar upstairs. The bartender was great The pours were heavy and the chatter was friendly Will definitely return- and nice bathrooms!

Ducked in here to grab a drink after experiencing a few other things that Duval Street has to offer - we opted to drink on the ground floor at the bar while a guy belted out the best of Jim Croce on stage. I like the open air atmosphere and the cold beer - the help here is legendarily rude for the most part but there's plenty of distractions so he was easily ignored. The reviews of this place reads like a book and everyone should experience this place at least once. The decor is dated but that's what makes this place what it is and that's not likely to ever change, its part of Key West history. It's a dive bar with ashtrays and book matches on the bar (free souvenir) to throw in the junk drawer once you get back home. Historical this is a one drink stop for me - nothing bad here but there are better options but I'll keep returning as long as it exists...

Another long standing business on Duval Street that attracts a lot of tourists, especially to the Whistle Bar on the 2nd floor and if you dare, to the 3rd floor where clothing is optional but you have to give your cellphone to the security guards while you are there. They are very strict about no photos there nor any funny business. We sat on the balcony so that we could watch the Duval Street action diwn below us. We each had a drink and chatted with other patrons about Duval Street and the best places to go to. Everyone was laughing and having a good time the bartender was friendly and service was great. Parking is not easy to get in this highly busy area. Try the side streets and walk thete. There's so much to see that you won't mind the short walk.

What a unique spot! The first and second floors have a classic bar vibe with great drinks and an easygoing atmosphere. There's a balcony that overlooks the street, offering a charming New Orleans vibe. As for the upstairs, it's a clothing-optional bar--enter if you're feeling adventurous. They enforce a strict zero-phone policy up there, and they mean business! I made the mistake of briefly pulling my phone out, and they were quick to remind me of the rules. Given the nature of the space, I can definitely appreciate their commitment to maintaining privacy and the overall experience. The Dj was amazing, consistently playing bangers. If you're in the area check this place out!

Always make time for a stop here. Live classic music on 1st floor. 2nd floor has a full bar and balcony overlooking Duval Street. The top floor is where all the action is at. Clothing optional with a full bar and live DJ. No cell phones permitted on this floor. Very good price on drunks and great views.

Three levels of craziness. Live music on the first floor. Games and another bar on 2nd floor. Clothing optional on the third floor. Basic drinks. Great place to hang out and people watch.

Chill dive bars with a good vibe are always what's good and that's exactly what can be found here! We stopped in for a drink and got one free as u guess we hit their happy hour so that was awesome! We chilled had a margarita and that was really it later on I noticed that they had live music and just a stronger vibe going so that was cool! Our bartender was sweet and she was quick to get our drinks and take our orders so that's always what's good! Overall this was a good time and a fun little stop so if your hopping around add this to your list because it was a good time!

What I like about the Bull & Whistle is that you can sit on the upper balcony and watch the world pass by on Duvall street. Or you can go up one level and take off your clothes and go full Monty or at least part. Beer flows freely as the shirt comes off. Service is welcoming.

Fun dive bar with a band playing! Sat at the bar and the bar tenders are super nice. They have all the windows open so and inside outside feel. They were playing more heavy metal so different vibe than other bars. They have a second floor where you can sit outside and people watch. The third floor is a nudist bar and you have to pay a cover and it's a different entrance to get up there. Overall fun but different vibe for sure!

Fun place to cool off, listen and sing along to some tunes and grab a cold refreshment. Hang with the locals and just enjoy yourself! It's Key West after all!!

Great hang out spot in Key West. Strong drinks. Live bands especially on the weekend. Upstairs you can smoke cigars, play pool, or just hang out on the balcony and people watch.

We stopped her for a quick drink and to be able to say we were here! We went to the second floor and had a drink on the balcony area. It was great to be outside and to be able to watch the pandemonium of Duval Street. We also heard about the third level, but we decided to keep our clothes on and just have the drink on the second level!!!

Friendly staff, drink specials were good. Opted for a margarita and it was too not freshly squeezed for me. The draw here is the location, second floor and third floor.

Worst service in Key West. This bar only staffs one bartender on very busy nights and the wait for a drink is about 30 minutes. "Nick" the bartender is rude and inefficient. Tried to be nice and empathetic because he was in the weeds all night when he finally got to me... and dude told me "good, I'll make you wait longer next time". Unbelievable. There's 100+ bars in Key West. Won't be coming to this dump ever again. Also, the place is dirty and the drinks are weak. Don't bother.

Totally cool dive bar in New Orleans style building. Balcony outside to sit and watch Duval Street go by. Very casual joint with cheaper drinks than your average bar in Key West. Pretty chill place.

Drinks, Drinks and more Drinks. This bar is known for its diversity and drinks. The bar is shaped as a U and seats about 30. There is also an upstairs hangout with balcony, bar and additional seating. All are steps from water in Key West. Bartenders have great humor and air to please. Give it a shot.

Live band on the first floor, though not too much dancing. Pool tables and balcony on the second floor, though large percentage of people up there were guys. We didn't go to the third floor per the advice of another patron, but it was a $10 cover for a clothing optional bar...glad we got the advice to avoid it!

There are 3 levels, The Bull is bar on first floor with live entertainment. The Whistle on 2nd floor has darts, pool tables and a huge wrap around balcony to watch all the fun on the street. The Garden of Eden is a rooftop bar which is clothing optional. Generally, the later at night, the less clothing, but there are still plenty of people with all their clothes on. Bartenders are topless.

This bar is located on the 2nd floor. The vibe was German log cab pub. There is a rear staircase entrance that was a bit quicker to get in on busy nights. This is a must stop and see locations. The restrooms wis very clean on the 2nd floor.

This place is a dive bar with super friendly service. You have to hit it up at least once when in town. I love the little drinks tabs saying to "leave the drink alone, I'm just in the bathroom" lol

Stopped in for a few beers and a couple of drinks. Place was packed and the two man band was jamming. Only one barmaid working the bar and she was busy. Not sure if they're understaffed or not which brings me to the 3 star rating. As people left their tables no one came over to wipe them down or empty the ash trays. So there's the empty table, wet from the condensation of the drinks someone was having. Half of a cigar with its ashes in the tray. I dunno maybe it's just me thinking too much outside the box. If I have to clean my table shouldn't I be on the payroll? And that was my only negative experience here. Would I come back for a few more beers? I probably will.

Deserves a 0. Did not know the disgusting acts on the 3rd floor. Had phones out texting and some employee had the audacity to put their hands on us instead of kindly asking.

The music was outstanding!!! Sandra Lee Resch was an amazing singer and really interacted with the crowd. However, the only bartender was a major bitch. Witnessed her insult 3 different customers over the course of an hour. Those customers promptly left. She (the barmaid) had a long braided ponytail, wore a leopard skirt, nose piercing, and had a horrible, condescending, bitch with a chip on her shoulder, bitter, hates life attitude. I feel sorry for her, but I would never want her working in my establishment.

Ben is probably the best bartender I've ever encountered. He not only makes great drinks, but runs the rooftop bar like a community. The rules are enforced with firm humor. He will shoot you with ice water through a kindergartner's military style water gun if you even think about taking out your cell phone. As a result, we all connect with each other. Today I met Ben. He celebrated with us-Sunday 3:33. Today I met Pat from The Ozarks. Today I met the speed boat world champion and his daughter- Team Allen. And we celebrated a gal who turned 50 and knows martinis. Thank you, Ben. You are why Key West is amazing.

The bouncers are way too aggressive, but guess they are directed to be that way. The amount of space is great and you never feel claustrophobic. The best part though is the naked bar up top. I was there during spring break and a bunch of girls from Tennessee where there with their tops off. One sat on my lap and I gave a broomski. Later in the night a milf walked in that I had to have and after a drink I took her back to my hotel. Best place in KW.

My husband had a cigar and we were looking some where to get drinks where he could smoke. We sat by the window and people watched while enjoying our beverages, which were made very well.

This bar has 3 levels. First floor is just your standard bar, second floor is pool bar with balcony overlooking Duval street (our favorite) and the third floor is clothing optional. Just awkward. FYI no food served on the entire property which confused me.

Worst place in key west - especially the service on the roof. Rudest staff. There many other places to try than to waste your money at the bull & whistle.

Absolutely do not go. I went up to the third-floor I didn't realize it was a titty bar so I took a receipt of my barbell and they freaked out so then I went downstairs the first floor they took my drinks and they told me you're out of here and threw me out like I was a fucking pig do you want I didn't do anything

The door attendant with the eye patch is extraordinarily rude and has no business attending to anything involving interacting with people. He ruined the night for everyone involved and created an unnecessarily hostile environment. If only he could see how that ruins this otherwise impressive event space. Truly disappointing and shameful.

Super rude bartenders and staff, specifically an older man to our group when trying just to enjoy a cocktail. Told us to go to the back bar. Back bar told us to go to the front bar. Man started getting aggravated and then short when we didn't order immediately, everyone felt uncomfortable and we left. Yes I get it, it's busy. I hate leaving one star reviews (I only have a few) but have to be honest. We were referred to here by a friend as a highly recommended fun place. Good news is there are many other spots in town! Cheers.

If I could give this less I would. Service is the worst. Dump dive bar on Duval, so many better places to go with better prices. Go anywhere else, please.

Moved to the keys 5 months ago, this bar became a regular spot for me. I dropped my ID under a floor board and they were nice enough to lift the board and get it for me.

A landmark in Key West. Good drinks. Front row view of the shenanigans taking place on Duval. And for those of you who are curious the roof top offers some xxx views as clothing is optional. When in Rome...

Bartender on the second floor is a complete a$$hole. Tried to get a drink he walked by me twice then came over to a couple next to me that just walked up and served them. I said hey man, what's up?! And he ignored me. Then the same thing happened to my buddy. When I did get a drink it was all coke crown. The first floor bar is very good. Great service! Don't go upstairs.

Great for people watching! It is directly on Duval Street. For those who don't know, Duval is like a smaller Bourbon Street. This is a great no-frills bar. They have live music nearly continuously. The bartenders are friendly and generous with their pours. Drinks are good! You can literally sit here for hours people watching. No one will force another drink on you or pressure you to move on. It has the laid-back Key West vibe.

Best part of this bar was the Lady at the entrance checking ID's. She danced with all of us when we walked in. Then we proceeded to purchases the worst Jaegar bomb shots I've ever seen, then the bartender threw the change at us and told us don't come back. No wonder why no one was in there on a busy Saturday night. Proceeded to have a great time... At sloppy joes down the street.

Really obnoxious LOUD MUSIC with a lowlife DJ asking if there were any M@@$&F@&&$ that were horny The made a few more MF comments And this I could hear a block away What a nasty sewer

Having been to this bar 2 times, a year a part, I have to say it's still such a friendly bar! The drinks are cheap and strong, there is live music all day, and the openness of it just makes you want to be there all day. I will say that I am not a fan of the Garden of Eden, located on the top of the building. It is a clothing optional and, and you just don't feel comfortable going up there. Other than that, loved this bar, and it's always one of my first stops here!

The bull is a hit or miss. Sometimes is excellent for a crazy night... some other times is a bit deserted.

Went to Key West for a bachelor party and this place kinda captured what kinda place Key West is. A three story bar located on the corner of the block. Looks very much like a bar with a balcony on the second floor and a roof deck atop. It says "Clothing Optional" and I thought that was a joke until we went to the top and saw three different naked guys at the bars. It was hot as hell, but that's Key West. The bartenders were friendly and the guy at the front of the bar gave us coupons for drinks. We hung out on the first floor and just watched people walk by. I was so relaxed and comfortable I didn't want to leave. Felt kinda like "Norm" from the TV show "Cheers". Jus chillin, drinking tequila sunrises looking at all the women wearing loose-fitting clothes to make up for the naked guys (not that there's anything wrong with that LOL) That's Key West. It's somthin' else.

Second floor balcony for some great people watching. Service was super slow at 7 pm. Heavy pours on the drinks though

Stopped by to catch the Fabulous Spectrelles show the other night. 3 piece singing group did Motown covers. Good vocals and dance moves. This was on the ground floor, there are 2 more bars on higher levels, the top being the clothing optional bar. Anyway, first floor bar had full liquor bar, beers and wine etc. One waitress who really covered the area well. She had a unique way of holding paper money in her one hand segregated in bill denomination by her fingers leaving her other hand free for the drinks. Bar is open air with ceiling fans to provide cooling. They had a 2 for 1 margarita deal going but we were drinking beer, so I can't comment on the margs. The lead singer said the bar is still locally owned, not corporate owned, which apparently is the way many of the bars in Key West are operated now.

Bartenders are super rude for no reason. We had just gotten there and the bartender was cursing at my husband telling him to "get the F*** out of her bar" all because we ordered drinks. She then proceeds to make fun of him and the amount of tip he left. Telling him "I don't need your f****ing money, wannabe big spender." Please take your money else where! We felt so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving.

Love the seating at the Whistle Bar. However, when ordering a Captain & Coke and Tanqueray & Tonic we were charged for those higher shelf liquors but received bottom shelf liquor. How do we know for sure? This was our very first bar and we had zero alcohol in us upon entering. Upon leaving the whistle bar we carried these drinks with us to Irish Kevin's where we all ordered the same thing and tested our suspicion. You could clearly tell we were correct that we had been served cheap liquor at Whistle Bar. The bar was also dead and it took forever to get served. The bar tender had no one else around and ignored us standing there with cash out and in hand. Atmosphere/Seating- 4 stars Service- 0 stars Advice: grab a drink before entering, go sit on the railing outside and when you finish the drink you entered with leave and grab drinks somewhere else.

This bar was my absolute favorite music experience. The drinks were great. The crowd was great. The bathroom was clean. I stayed downstairs in the Bull with the best band I heard. The whistle is upstairs and I didn't head up but many others do. Very open and roomy. Great band setup and right in the middle of everything. This is a great experience.

Very unique bar from the outside as well as the inside. The first floor is your typical sports bar, the second floor is yet another bar with outdoor seating which is great for looking out at people walking. However the third floor loan as the garden, which I did not visit, as for those a little more risqué as it is clothing optional.

Great bar to sit and people watch! It's a three leveled bar. We didn't really hang around the first floor too much. Mainly just live music there. The second floor has a very chill vibe with a balcony you can sit at and overlook Duval Street. It also has some arcade games, foozeball, and pool too. They cost money though! Drinks are pretty cheap and you're handed coupons as you walk in. I believe one was buy one get one free / buy one get one 50% off! If you're feeling super adventurous you can see what the garden of Eden has to offer on the third floor!

Gotta be honest...this bar makes the shittiest margarita I've ever tasted in my entire life. It is basically just barely spiked Sprite. I understand it is a well drink, but at least make it potable. Unfortunately the deal that day were two for one well margaritas...but two cups of undrinkable swill isn't that much of a deal in my book. Besides this, the entertainment was great! The guitar dude there at the time of my visit was playing great classic rock and was very enjoyable. The bartender was lovely, and the vibe was cool. It was a good spot to hang out with drinks and relax. But the margaritas suck.
