I live in Key West. People regard it as a party town but is anything but. It’s relatively boring on the rock. The great things about the Florida Keys are the sunsets, the fishing, the seafood, and that’s about it. I will give you some tips though if you want to pay it a visit:
My favorite restaurants are El Siboney (best Cuban food on the island. The stock island location is better than the key west location because it has more seating and a full bar), Square Grouper on Cudjoe Key is the best seafood in the keys, and Salute on Higgs beach (also nice to watch the marines play volleyball there while you eat, order the blackened mahi sandwich)
island house is the gay resort. As a local, we get to buy memberships that let us come and go, and warrants us a $200 bar credit. There is a 24/7 bar and kitchen there, a red room for cruising, pool, and two hot tubs. Lots of lounging for sun bathing. I love island house.
Bourbon st pub is my go to gay bar on Duval st. It’s next to New Orleans house (where they drop the drag Queen in a high heel on New Year’s Eve). There is cruising in the back pool area.
saloon is my second favorite. Across the st from bourbon. It has porn playing on monitors, cruising in the smoking area out back.
If you like to dance, rock house live in straight town (the other side of Duval st) is great for electronic music like tech house. You might even catch me djing there if in town on the right night ^__< Also garden of Eden is a clothing optional dance area.
go take in the fabulous sunset at Mallory square or at highs beach.
And then pay my house a visit. I have a dungeon complete with a jail cell, fuck cage, fuck bench, and st andrews cross 🙂
