Irish Kevin's

I've found I can get in more trouble quicker in Kevin's than any other bar in KW.  To all you wine and cheesers who are looking for a conversation pit, go back to Buckhead.  This is A) Key West B) Duval Street.  Kevin's is a bar Mickey Rourke would love.

Only got to have a couple beers but the staff seemed friendly enough. The greater thing was the Saturday night entertainment. It was a kid from nyc sort of playing a guitar and doing interactive crowd comedy. He was entertaining but hated the red sox (not his fault he is from ny and wants to have jeters babies). Prices were not too bad, $4 $5 beers. Attractive girls with jello shots walking around.

Biggest surprise by far...the great craft beer selection!  Key West tends to be a tropical drink or cheap beer sort of focus so it was cool to walk into a bar that had a wall full of legit craft beer choices (as opposed to the Sam Adams and Yuengling craft beer claims of other places).  That being said the beers are a little pricier than some of your other drink options along Duval so try to find some BOGO drink coupons like we did so the cost evens out.

We visited at an off time of day before the bars were really filling up and bar is actually pretty big but smoking is allowed and theres not a lot of air flow to the outside world so i imagine it could get pretty stuffy if we were there later at night.

The live music was really enjoyable as far as thing singing goes but the guy playing was a little bit raunchy and dirty once he started talking so that was a bit of a deterrant.

Overall Irish Kevin's earned just a 3 star from me because of the smoking and the unnecessarily crude performer but I honestly waivered between a 3 and 4 because of the great craft beer selection.  I'd visit again but its not my favorite.
