Proper Guinness Poured by the pint! It's the simple things that you realize are actually very important! This Pub is truly a public house in every sense! This establishment honors our veterans and makes it clear that we can enjoy what a pub is all about because of the sacrifices our military endures! The service at the bar all the way to your table is second to none! The atmosphere makes the stress peel right off! The pub fare is exactly where it needs to be, it's really good bar chow! But it's not a place you come for the food! This is a place that makes you happy and we all need more happy! Come see, you won't forget your experience!
Very much a FUN Irish pub with live music! Very quick and simple menu of bar options- the fries are delicious, so are the soft pretzel sticks! The drink options are fun - their punch option was fruity and definitely a must try. They only have Kermit's key lime pie for dessert so that was a tiny bit of a disappointment but it is key west so others probably love this! Service is quick despite it being so busy! The performers were very characteristic and talented and definitely got the crowd going!
We stopped by Irish Kevin's bar and restaurant because there was loud laughing, energetic dancing, and good music and it looked like a fun place! It was packed on a Friday night. We found a place to sit and were served fairly quickly considering how busy they were. Our server was Lara, who was very friendly and fun. We ordered a couple of drinks and those were good. We didn't order food because we got there at 11pm when they stop serving food. They also have a gift shop for souvenirs. You can reserve the upstairs for private parties. It's a large place. There is live entertainment every night. We loved the gorgeous chandelier! We would definitely return next time we are in Key West!
This place was pretty cool and it's actually near Sloppy Joe's. So all we did was walk to it to have a drink. I had their famous Green Gator drink. Not bad, kind of sour but only had one. The service was top notch. I even ended buying a t-shirt from them as a souvenir and got to keep my cup. Maybe next time I come I'll try something to eat. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to listen to decent music and pretty good drinks. Two thumbs up.
We had a lot of fun here. One of the Irish musicians was awesome. Irish Kevin was great too. Service was good. It gets pretty crowded. We didn't eat. Diverse crowd Birthdays, Bachelorette parties, etc. Definitely recommend stopping in.
While on a cruise with my girlfriends, my one friend (who'd been to Key West a handful of times) insisted we stop in at Irish Kevin's, and I'm glad we did. We needed a chance to cool down with a few beers, and a perk was that they had a live musician playing. A very friendly guy who took our song suggestions (Rattlin' Bog to name one), it gave the entire place a great atmosphere and everyone joined in the fun. We didn't get any food while we were there but we definitely made some great memories. It's a great place to add your list of spots to visit in Key West, especially during St Patrick's Day!
Funny story, I was one of the managers who helped construct this bar however, it was under a different name and that was 25 years ago. Things have changed. A lot of things are not the same but a lot of things really are. It's kind of weird to walk in there and know that I physically Helped put in that cabinet and hey, I decided that the stage goes in this location. I have to say that the people who bought it and turn it into Irish Kevins are doing a much better job than the last people who owned it. They understand that Duval Street needs a bar with shots and live musicians who can engage the crowds. I've been in here at least 50 times, the food is adequate, sometimes it's even good. The atmosphere is just what you're looking for in that location. The drinks are good, the staff is well trained. The entertainment is always on point. This is always a stop on our Duval crawl.
This is one of my top 3 late night bars...Been to Irish Kevin's numerous times while bar hopping on Duval Street in Key West. It boasts a massive bar top with plenty of tables and seats. Plenty of liquor choices, but would hope they increase their craft beer selection. Never ate here so no food review. At night the bar has incredible musicians playing folk and classic rock and roll tunes. They have some seating in the front for great people watching on the Duval strip. Strong 4.5 stars here.
4 stars for entertainment. Our server was not at all happy to be here. The place is packed on a Sunday night. Great place to hang out.
