We have visited Irish Kevin's several times over the years. My wife enjoys the entertainment they have, but the service could not be worse. We were there on 9/28 and sat at the bar. The two bartenders were the most miserable people that I have...ever met. All they seemed to want to do was stand in a group at the server station and play on their phones. This has to be the most poorly managed bar/restaurant in Key West. We will certainly never return. Key West should be fun and friendly and not like Irish Kevin's. Garry.More

We visited Irish Kevin's on the advice of friends and arrived during Happy Hour. My wife enjoyed the Hemingway Mojito (if it's good enough for Papa,...) while I found comfort with the Green Gator (in the souvenir cup!). Julie took excellent care of these two...wandering tourists & was a true joy. A Traditional Cheeseburger with Tots for Melissa & an Irish Burger with Onion Rings for me were all perfectly prepared. I don't say that lightly since far too many pubs somehow manage to mess that up. We would have stayed & enjoyed the music and drinks into the night, but we had to get to the sunset cruise. The NEXT time, however, will be a much longer visit! 😎More

Came in at 3p on a Monday with mom and husband. Sat at the bar. Bartender was not friendly. Mom ordered a rum cocktail and I had a vodka blueberry lemonade - both from their menu. This was a plastic cup establishment, no glasses. My...mom asked the bartender to add a bit more cranberry juice. She responded that the drink already had some. My mom said she wanted a little more. I didn’t like my drink at all. Rather than giving it back, I tried to drink it. Finally, it was so bad I ordered what my mom had. I told her the drink was terrible and she just shrugged her shoulders….really?!?! How about “I’m sorry” or “let me suggest something else.” She was just flat out rude. I also find it rude that she asked for my credit card to start a tab when there’s no one in the bar. Did she think I was going to run off with my 70 year old mother without paying for my $8 plastic cup fruity drink?! Not impressed.More

So much fun. We popped in not knowing what to expect and found Kevin the original founder on stage. He knows how to entertain and get the people involved and he doesn’t care what he says! Great place, a must stop on your trip to...Key West!More

We stumbled upon this gem of a joint with Irish Kevin himself playing onstage. What a treat! A true entertainer and clearly a savvy businessman who has the perfect balance of fun, food and drinks in the coolest atmosphere. I will be visiting again and...again!More

We stopped in here during the day for drinks. I primarily picked the place for a pint of Guinness. Stacy, who waited on us, wasn't much for being friendly or welcoming, and she was apparently never taught how to properly pour a Guinness. We came,...we drank and we left.More

Irish Kevin's is a great place to hang out and not only enjoy the show, but be a part of it. Irish Kevin himself is such a fun guy to watch that we were there at least once a day the whole trip.

Average bar, terrible entertainment, could take it or leave it. The entertainer really didn't want to be there and just went through the motions. Drinks were fine but the atmosphere was just way too blase'. There are better (and worse) places to stop.

We stop here for a drink (or three) every time we’re in Key West. Music & entertainment are always good, atmosphere is fun. Classic Key West establishment.

We went here a few times for drinks & lunch. As always drinks, food & server was great but very disappointed to see they punish credit card users that is not ok.

Went into this place for a beer and something to eat. Aside from the tricolour on TV screens there is nothing Irish about this place. Food was mediocre at best. The entertainer was a guy who couldn’t sing , was very rude and crude an...an all round moron . Won’t be going to this place anytime soonMore

Parking is few and far. Cars, motorcycles and even scooters are difficult. Find a base and walk from there. the island is small.
