Key West Nightlife: The Musical Bands

Posted by KeyWestTour.com on

When you find yourself in downtown Key West in a late evening, you may find that the only item that

compliments your wine glass or beer mug is live music! Live music has the ability to stir the innermost chord of

human soul.

Key West's entertainment sites also have live bands who deliver heart-warming classics night after night. The

musical taste of Key West residents is curiously mixed, and especially so when combined with heavy drinking

sessions. The music played in the local bars and nightclubs feature rock, pop, jazz, blues, to Cuban fusion

music. A cowboy bar dedicates itself to true country music, while the dance-tapping bars explore music on

faster beats. So here is a roundup of some popular live music bands playing at bars or nightclubs throughout

downtown Key West:

Rum Barrel

Opened by a Philadelphia football-team President, this place provides plenty of spirits and the space to watch

the game! Their collection boasts more than 150 types of rums and a special stock of craft beers. This place is

known for its live music bands as well as well-known singers like Bo Bice.

Cowboy Bill's Honky Tonk Saloon

True to its cowboy spirits, this bar features line dancing and live country music. On specific days of the week,

they also play karaoke music. This bar’s music scene has pronounced country music trends.

Little Room Jazz Club

Irish Kevin's

In this unique bar, the bar performers drag in the patrons in their dancing and musical sessions. Live music

begins in the mornings and continues non-stop till the closing time. Most patrons who participate in the song-

dance performances end up spending the nights.

Sloppy Joe's

This pub was Ernest Hemingway's favorite beer joint. This popular pub provides live music from noon till the

wee hours of the morning every single day. The music in this pub is kind of mixed, which gets even rougher

when the drunks join the makeshift dance floor by midnight.

Smokin' Tuna

Nestled on Charles Street, this joint has sprawling outdoors equipped with a large stage. Live music begins at

night, with some special performances on the weekends. If you want, you can find their performance schedules
