801 Bourbon Bar

801 Bourbon Bar is a fantastic spot where everyone is welcome, regardless of how you identify. The atmosphere is always lively with great music, and the bartenders are both friendly and serve up strong drinks. Whether youre just popping in for a quick drink or looking to sit back and relax for a while, this place has you covered.A highlight of the night is the drag show, which happens every evening at 9 PM and 11 PM. Its definitely an experience you don’t want to miss—entertaining, energetic, and a lot of fun. If you’re in Key West, 801 Bourbon Bar is a must-visit!

We happened upon this place while exploring Duval St. Wife was set on checking out and we were both glad we did. Very talented performers, striking a nice balance of humor, professionalism, and artistry at the show!

Best night out I have had in a while! My husband and I went to the 9pm show and it was a blast! Marilynn, Kiley, Renee Marie, and Puddin Tain were fabulous. The performances were top notch and the crowd, drinks, and vibes were immaculate. Highly recommend!!

This was such a fun show! I wish I could follow the gals on socials! I was especially blown away by the genius mothers day number by Ms Martini (I think i heard that right!?)

The one thing my friend wanted to do for her bachelorette was to go see a drag show. After doing some research we settled on 801 Bourbon Bar. SO GLAD WE DID! Great atmosphere, super welcoming bartenders downstairs, good vibes and beyond awesome queens. We were blown away! Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

My wife and I had such a great time with Puddin Taine. She’s so funny and such a great host. Not only did she have VIP section laughing, but the bar just feeds off her energy just as much!

Wonderfully kind and welcoming Alvin took great care of us! Super fun bar, highly recommended.

We loved Alvin. He was very friendly and so sweet to chat with. We came a couple times a day and always greeted us with a smile. We have always come here but seeing Alvin really made our day. And you all have the best bloody Marys around. Hope to see Alvin on our next trip.Greg and Sheryl

What an amazing place to sit for a noon cocktail. The daytime bartender is just amazing. He has such great energy. And when everyone at the bar has what they need, he goes to the floor and dances for the crowds walk by on the sidewalk. Just an amazing amazing vibe and atmosphere and so friendly. I went to this place for days out of my seven day vacation.

​WOW. The pulse of Key West! If youve got but one day, or a week, the classic 801 Bourbon Bar is a must. Holding court behind this bustling bar, Christian; a profoundly compelling soul, who has single-handedly breathed a new life into this iconic club! And what an asset to Key West - Christian is our newly anointed ​Darling of Duval. While other historic haunts sadly appear to have lost some of their luster in the last few years, 801 is a phoenix. An intoxicating mix of eclectic energy, make-you-want-to-move music and a sprinkling of madness! At the helm, Christian, orchestrating this bit of bawdy bedlam until 4am. Again, wow! ​

Alvin is the best bartender on the island! He is definitely the happiest person we have encountered during our time in Key West. The owners are lucky to have a fabulous worker! Thanks Alvin!!!

Alvin was charismatic and his welcoming personality pulled me into the bar. Keep dancing honey! You are better than any therapist.

Christian and Denis are the best bartenders here. I love this place beacuse of them, because they made me love this island. They just make me stay at the 801 again and again. Thank them for the experience. They are gorgeous.

We visited 801 Bourbon for a birthday and watched the drag show. Puddin was our MC and feature performer and she was AMAZING! We had such an incredible time! Thank you Puddin and all the 801 Bourbon performers and bartenders for a wonderful evening

My visit here today was amazing, just happen to be strolling by and felt invited in. Had a couple of beers and the music was perfect. Mark took care of me today and many others at the bar with a smile and grace. I truly loved how comfortable I felt during my visit today and I’m so glad I was able to stop by.!

Had the absolute best night for my friends bachelorette party!!! We went to the 8pm Drag Show and seriously could not have asked for a better time. The energy here cannot be beat!!!! Everyone was an amazing performer and so kind if you get the chance to say hi. This is the spot to go if you are looking for something you’ll never forget!!! We are already planning another trip back down just for this show. Seriously the most fun we’ve all had in a while!

If you want a gay bar/drag show like it was before our culture was highjacked by social media and Drag race trends this is your place! Absolutely made our trip. We went two nights in a row to the caberet and had a blast. The queens are amazing and deserve every last tip. Dont miss it!

If your on the fence about going here, hop off and get inside!!! Even though it was my 1st time there, we were greeted and treated like old friends the whole time! Fell in love with the people and the atmosphere instantly. Best bartenders in Key West(my opinion) that love learning new drink recipes. The Saturday 5pm Drag Show was the best!!! We were all laughing and dancing & Mulyssa Gard was amazing!!!I cant wait for our next trip to see these wonderful people again!!!

What a fun time at the upstairs cabaret bar.If you like a good drag show this is the place to go.More like a comedy/cabaret. The fabulous queens were great with the audience. Bartenders were awesome and very attentive. Recommend to bring as many $1 bills as possible to tip those performers.

High Heels on girls. If there was any themed vibe I would have from my Key West visit is that they love drag. Bourbon Bar is close to its competitor but seemingly not as upscale. Perhaps the Uptown ladies go one place and the others congregate here. In addition to the show, you can get some decent drinks. Any viruses lurking probably are long gone based on the overwhelming bleach odor, but in today’s times it may just what the doctor would order.

LOVE 801! The shows are amazing, Puddin is the best entertainer in town!! Our favorite spot in Key West for years! Also Sunshine at the bar is on it!!

Amazing vibe and drag show! Drinks are good and the staff is super friendly! The hostess engaged with the audience and everyone had a great time! However Puddy Thang was my favorite - she brought so much energy and talent to the show! I highly recommend! A must see if you’re in Key West.

Please come!!! They are the absolute best and made my night!! Beautiful girls ♡ Rochelle is hilarious!! Dont hesitate!!

Alvin is legit the best bartender. energy and atmosphere was popping! the drag show was great, very entertaining. elaine taylor (sp?) was my favorite.

Upon walking in to get seated for the show we were greeted rudely when we tried to pay by credit card so in order to make it smoother we just paid with cash. We arrived right at show time to a very light crowd. Once seated we moved to a more comfortable spot. Then Mr Rude comes back to tell us the seats are reserved. There’s a way to treat customers and this guy has no clue. Then for the drinks. The bartender had zero personality and looked like he didn’t even want to be there. The performers were great and kept the attendees entertained. Over all the show was great. When leaving and closing out our tab the bartender had all types of computer problems and there was a line to close out tabs. Fortunately we were first in line. Still left a 25% tip when it should have been much less. So overall the show was good but over shadowed by two staff members who shouldn’t be in the service industry.

My girlfriend and I went and had an absolutely blast. Everyone was inviting and welcoming. Very clean and organized!! Worth the money and some! Will visit again

Puddin Taine is the absolute best. 801 bar was so much fun all the performers were great! Please support them! Great for couples, bachelorette parties anything! We love them.. show them some love!

Well, knowing the bar from the past it has become a boring joint. The bartender seemed to be a straight bored guy, who was not able to talk and didnt know anything about cocktails. Even during the week there should have been more pepper in this bar. This island seems not to be good for gays anymore.

Amazing performers! So much fun! HIGHLY recommend! Will be seeing this show every Key West visit!

Whats with all the hate in some of these reviews? Lighten up, people. For ten bucks to get in plus the tips youre giving, youre spending less than you would to go to a movie and youll be much more entertained.We first saw Sushi New Years Eve 2000 and my husband and his friend were gasping at how gorgeous she was (and she was). My friend and I kept saying, You guys know Sushi is a drag queen, right? Thats how drop-dead gorgeous she was. My husband knew; the friend did not and kept insisting we were wrong. No. We. Werent.Sushi is the drag mother of KW. I knew to not expect her in the middle of the week for the 11 pm show, and that was fine. Wed been saving this show for our last night in KW and it did not disappoint.Each night, the girls would be out passing out cards and would chat with us. I use a wheelchair, though, and knew there was no elevator in the 801. Some places have VERY narrow stairs, though, and getting upstairs can be a challenge.The stunning Sasha was outside between shows and I asked if I could get upstairs. Without even missing a beat, she said, Ill carry you upstairs myself. Cmon. She then took my husband in to go look at the stairs to see if they were too narrow. My husband carried me up and Sasha cleared the way, finding a spot for us right up front.We were mesmerized by her performances, especially Formation. OMG. I am always impressed by anyone who can dance in heels, especially since I cant wear heels and certainly cant dance anymore, but to see Sasha in these thigh-high red boots with spiky heels doing these dance moves was off the charts crazy good.We kept trying to tip her and wanted to get a picture with her but honestly, I was so into what she did that I just was screaming and whooping it up because the dancing was so good. LOVED her.We really enjoyed the whole show. . .Dakota, Whitney, Eden (I think, it was so hard to understand what her name was, but she was amazing and a good show hostess). Sheila came out for one song.Great entertainment, great fun. I loved all of their personalities, and I enjoyed talking with them after the show. Its fun sitting with strangers egging each other on to go up to tip a performer or singing along with the people near you.I cannot tell you how much I appreciated Sasha for immediately making me feel like I was worth it and making sure I could get upstairs - something I could not even get from the Hemingway House.You may not get the drag mother Sushi, but youre sure to be entertained and enjoy.No, its not LIPS from NYC and it shouldnt be compared to it. . .youre in KW. Enjoy it. And for Gods sake, if you cant deal with watching RuPauls Drag Race, then dont bother coming, and dont show up in your Liberty University shirt thinking youre going to convert the sinners here. . .really, youre in Key West, youre in *their* house, so just take your proselytizing elsewhere. . .

Great fun took my sister and family there. Went during the covid stuff. Still a great time had a blast. Looking forward to return when we back to being US

We had a really fun time at the drag show. They are great about engaging the audience 😂

This place was so much fun. Caught a drag show which was hilarious and fun. A great group of people between regular staff and the performers.

8.12.22Nicole was our bartender upstairs in the Drag show and let me tell you this. Great Drinks, Great show funny MC will be back when we in Key West again.

This was the most entertaining club in KW. The girls were energetic and preformed like champions. Don’t Change a thing!

Ive never gotten food here but Ive been when they werent doing a drag show and when they were. The show was free, no cover, and was super fun. Lovely folks, great music, great atmosphere, not overpriced drinks either.

From Dennis the bartender to all of the acts... they were AMAZING. Great choice of music & the performers were Fantastic! Great experience in Key West. Definitely a great experience!

Got to experience my first drag show this weekend and had the MOST fun. Puddin Taine was a special highlight, speaking right to my southern heart with an enthusiastic version of Fancy to kick things off. The show just got better from there. Specifically will be planning another trip down to Key West to have more time here. Sounds like they recently changed the show times which worked well for us to be able to catch it before having to leave to go home early the next morning.

Amazing and entertaining, excellent staff and performance, I come back every time I am in town.

Loved it, the drag show was so good, every single queen was fantastic but a big shout out to their new queen who was practically climbing the ceiling and doing flips and splits and stuff! Best live entertainment weve seen in Key West, just slaying.

Alvin is simply amazing!! This was a regular stop on our trip! The music is the best!

I only did 4 stars on food because I have always been on a liquid diet here....🤷Love this place. Love the people, atmosphere and shows. Ive been coming for 25+ years. The last few visits Ive stayed nearby so that its my first and last visit to Duvall.

Went here to celebrate my partners moms birthday and had the best time!! Super wonderful people and such a great experience.

Great time to be had! Went there a few times during our trip. Very welcoming place. The bartender, Greg, treated us like family. Drinks were fast and fantastic. Hit the show upstairs on the Sunday night, what a blast! Great energy, alot of fun! Will definitely be visiting again on my next trip!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Overall I think this was a fun experience but it definitely needs updating. The hostess was hilarious and I loved her singing Lady Marmalade at the end. I think her songs in the middle were a little slow though. Meshell Stevens was lovely but starting the show with her and having her perform so many numbers is a bit of overkill. Vicki was amazing and I wish there was more of her! Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Thank you for the good time!

Luv 801 but miss my bartender and friend Mark W. He is a great friend and bartender. A very much a people person.

The atmosphere is awesome!! It was my first drag show, and it was still amazing even in the middle of the week! I had a great drink, and the girls (Deja and Whitney I remember by name) were super energized and brought all the energy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun night!!

Really high energy and fun drag show upstairs on Saturday night! Sooo impressed with and thankful for Vaida, who was working the bar at night the weekend we visited. Not only does she make a tasty and strong drink...but I left my ID on the counter the Friday night and it was the only bar we had visited that night. I texted with both the manager and the afternoon bartender who both told me my ID was definitely not at the bar. I needed my ID to get on my plane home on Sunday evening. We came back to the bar Saturday night because we just had a feeling it was the only place it could have been. Vaida had it and recognized us immediately! Gave me my ID and said she had been trying to track down my number and/or my Facebook. :) Vaida saved my butt last weekend.

Stopped in for a drink during our visit to the keys. Bartender was amazing and very friendly. Drinks were cold and priced well.

Go to Key West every year, and always wanted to see this show. My wife and I bought tickets this year and gave it a shot. Let me tell everyone that it was fabulous. We are not gay, but go in with an open mind and you will have a great time. The Queens keep the audience engaged, they are funny, and very entertaining. The crowd was awesome as well. No pressure to buy drinks. Everyone is great. Thank you for putting on a great show! I recommend to give this place a visit while in Key West

Everything about this was ok, the head drag queen was funny on the mic and one of the girls was a great dancer but otherwise the talent was hurting. Not an impressive facility, small, and could use an update. But the dancers were all friendly, unique and worked hard which I can appreciate. Overall, ok.

The vibe is... lacking?But the customer service follow up is exceptional!

Absolutely amazing. I’m married and brought my parents and wife! We had an absolute blast! People need to lighten up and enjoy themselves!!!!!!! This place and the men/women/performers are amazing and some of the greatest people!!!!!!!!! So much fun

Went to see a drag Queen show with my boyfriend and had an awesome time!It costs 20$ per person and lasts 2 hours so definitely worth it. They have shows every night at 9pm and at 11pm.Everybody had fun!

I have family that owns a place near 801 the new bar tender is so self centered and not about the bar nor nice to countermeasure

Entertaining place! Just grab a drink, enjoy the vibes, and hang out!

A Hispanic man treated me very badly, we were a large group with the intention of ordering several bottles and he treated us badly for not having an identity document, I told him that I would look for him at the hotel and he yelled at me to go out ... never in my life have I past a situation like this

We went there for the kinky couple party during fantasy fest 2021. First, the door guy Ma I believe his name was, was VERY RUDE. We were told to read and sign the rules but couldnt see it because they lost power. When my wife used her phones flashlight to read the rules, MA yelled at her. Sign without reading?! He physically shooed my hand away when I was about to initial in the wrong corner of the rule sheet.. Then, went upstairs and waited for power to come on. It was hot and crowded but we waited. 1 performer did a show and it was really good. But she was the only one! Nothing else happened. We talked to one of the queens who was very nice. We asked the bartender for a couple drinks and she was quite rude also. I had a group with me, we paid over $300 a couple, for what!? Rude staff and ONE 15 minute show. This was THE WORST part of our Fantasy Fest. FF is great but avoid this place like the plague!

I usually dont leave to many reviews, but after attending the 801 during fantasy fest i had to. This place was packed and the vibe was fun and fantastic due to the outstanding service of my bartender Greg. He is amazing how he managed to make his job look like a breeze when it was so busy ill never know. He absolutely made our time there amazing! See you next year as this will be my number 1 place!!!

This was my first drag show & I was very impressed ! Despite the mask rules the girls still interacted with the guest & didn’t skip a beat in making everyone laugh. The staff @ 801 Bourbon Bar is so friendly! It is also OK if you forgot your singles; they have you covered with the ability get 25+ at the bar. Highly recommended show in Key West; you may want to stay for the second show if you go to the first. P.S. same ladies but different acts!! Buy your tickets today & enjoy the show!!

The drag queen that hosted the 5 o’clock show on November 18th was a whole vibe and she should be the host. Amazing drag queen.

Its a real fun spot; highly recommend the shows. Old school drag; untouched or changed from the RuPaul era of Queens - its all about the performance. Love Marilyn Daniels - great performance.

We were asked to come in by the beautiful hostess on Sunday night before the 11pm show. We had a lovely conversation with her and talked to her about how we liked working in keywest in the service Industry. We came back to come and watch the show and we’re going to bring in a few couples that we had met from our night industry who were very generous and I asked the man at the door if he had happened to have two couples come in as I was going to describe what they looked like he got super snippy with me about this is a tourist town and he sees sooo many people that he couldn’t possibly remember seeing anyone. A simple I can not recollect or seeing who you are describing would have worked but the rudeness was not needed. As someone who also works at a busy bar if someone comes to me and can describe someone that sticks out like a sore thumb I’m sure you could say yes or no in a more polite manner if they had seen them or not as I also deal with this same question every night. I was looking forward to the show tonight as the hostess was lovely and enjoy drag shows. As someone who is a dancer and burlesque performer I do believe in paying it forward and being generous and I’m sure in the slow season on a Sunday the artist would have appreciated our generosity. I will not be coming back to be able to support this business. I will be walking by however often as I do live here and will like to tip the hostess because she was definitely putting the effort into her craft as one artist to another. I know fun attitude is part of the scene and I love it and think it’s funny but this was pure rudeness.

My partner and I had a blast at this Bourbon Bar! We enjoyed the drag show was a very lively bar this past Saturday night! We had an excellent time, very friendly staff and great drinks from the bar! I highly recommend this Gay bar to anyone wanting to have a great time!

Had a great time at the drag show tonight! Highly recommend 💗

The Friday 8pm snow. Puddin’ Taine was a STAR and the absolute sweetest. We had a blast for the bachelorette party we were on. You have to see this show!!!

Hilarious drag show!! Super energetic and entertaining! The establishment is a bit dated, but the queens more than made up for appearance. Would love to come back next time in Key West!

Drag cabaret show was fantastic! Drinks good, very welcoming. I come from Michigan and this is the first time I’ve been to a show where the queen MC said once you walked in, you’re family. Be ready for some potential nudity.

One of the best places in the keys & Key West to catch a fun drag show! Snatch up a reserved seat upstairs for a good time. Don’t forget your dolla bills, y’all… drag queens gotta drink after all! Good drinks, friendly service. I always have so much fun here… you can too.

Pathetic drag show of an assisted living home. Just spend your $20 just for bar entrance (yeah $20 just entrance to a dive bar) on some nice cocktail elsewhere. Left after about 20 minutes of this very painful to the eyes sight.Quite unfriendly entrance experience too.

I guess us GIRLS are not welcomed at this bar, rude bartender, he disrespected my friend calling her a f&#n c&nt all because he had no patience and didn’t make her drink correctly and was rude as hell with all of us when just asking him for several drinks, and he kept ignoring us , he was attending other male customers with a much better attitude.He flipped out when she didn’t tip him because of his terrible attitude.. instead wrote “next time be nicer” and told us we were not to gonna get serve and yelling at us to GET OUT!! … very unprofessional, rude and DISCRIMINATORY !!!And honestly the Bar is not all that after all !!

Great drag show! I had so much fun! The queens were on point and really shined! I was not disappointed and would go back again! It was so fun!!

We had a great time, great performers

Went and watched the drag show with my wife last night. Was honestly terrible. Only two of the girls entertained. One songstress that sings her own material was amazing, and the new Vicky doll is just that, a DOLL. However the other girls did not show any interest in being on stage. Not to mention $40 not including tips.

This was an amazing experience we went here for a bachelorette party and all the girls had a lovely time! The 801 girls had energy and amazing skills! If someone had a bad time here it was only the fault of their own. This ladies are fun the bartenders kind and show fun! We went to the 9 showing and it was a perfect mix!! Thank you 801 you really made our night unforgettable!!

Probably the worst interaction I’ve shared with someone. The guy selling tickets was rude from the start and was clearly having a bad day - still no excuse to take it out on your patrons. Be sure to skip this and walk up one block to Aqua, the show is twice as long (for the same price) and the staff is soo much more friendly!!

Best experience for the first time in Key West. Tourism is trying to rebuild itself after COVID. Please treat everyone how you would like to be treated. Choose Kindness!

Stopped in the night after seeing a show at a neighboring drag bar. Wife and I went with high expectations and left rather quickly along with a few others. Felt terrible for the performers as not a one of them received a buck from the audience. It was more of a lip syncing concert with each performer learning their song just seconds prior to going on stage. Head to Aqua for better show

While too young to get into a drag show just yet, I wanted to get my picture taken with a fabulous queen. I went to Aqua drag bar before 801 and found them unaccommodating when I went to 801 they were extremely helpful and delightful. I was extremely happy with my experience.

We had such a fun time at 801 Bourbon Bar. The drag hostesses were very nice and engaging and they posed for pictures with us. The two bartenders throughout the evening made lots of fun conversation and kept the drinks flowing. One even let us make song requests all night long. The customers were a friendly bunch and we had a few fun conversations between the drinks and the dances. Didnt catch the shows but everyone we spoke with said theyre pretty great.

Love the shows at this place. Popped in for a drink today. Max, you don’t need the life’s story of the one couple at the bar at the expense of everyone else. Wanted another drink but tabbed out after a very long (15ish minute) wait.

Ive been to many drag shows and wow what a trainwreck. A couple left mid show due to the queens apparently stealing money from them. Rather off-putting. The performers were very bad and wish I wouldve spent my money else where. The bars are fantastic but the show is awful

Thought I was going to see a real show. All lip sync which is fine, but mostly just walking around talking to people who have $1 to hand out. Its a total rip-off. In fact Im walking out only 45 min in.

Best Bar in Town for Gay Men and their friends. Famous for the New Years Eve World Renowned Red Shoe drop with International Star Sushi! A must see!

Can’t speak for the drag show upstairs, but the bar on the street level was tired and I had to ask for a bar towel to wipe the outside table—I guess they’re not concerned with those. To top it off, I was charged 4$ for a side of ice — which I noticed when closing out out my tab. I think this is something that could be mentioned when I asked for the ice (“ just so you know it’s four dollars for a cup of ice, I know that’s ridiculous but our boss makes us charge four dollars for ice.”)but she did not say that. Sneaky pumpkin head. I’d never go back, the place is claustrophobic and uninspired. Do better.

One of our favorite bars on the strip. Always a fun time. Great drag shows and easy going atmosphere

I absolutely love this drag show. Puddin Tain is such an amazing host. I can’t turn my eyes away. She’s a mix of RuPaul and Devine.

This used to be one of my favorite bars in kw. The drag show is great. Stopped in TWICE on my trip 6/5/19 and the bartender ignored us. We waited while he talked to other patrons and eventually walked out with no drinks. I am straight but love and support the gay community. Such a disappointment

One of the best places to visit on the island of Key West. The show is so much fun and entertaining the staff is so friendly. They have 2 drag shows a night. The bar downstairs is a great place just to hang out and relax. Back bar is men only. This bar has events all the time.

Tourists beware. This place will take advantage of you and your money. My friends and I bought one drink and they charged all of our cards an incorrect amount. We were each charged an amount way higher than we should have been. I tried to calmly speak to the manager twice about fixing their mistake. The manager and the bartenders were extremely rude. Our cards were not refunded. In total they over charged us $150 dollars and we did not get a dime back. Do not recommend going here.

We had a blast! The queens were lovely, bawdy, and delightfully quipped! We enjoyed every minute....bring lots of dollar bills to show your appreciation!!

What a horrible mistake it was, visiting this place, went straight to the bar and asked the very rude and clearly frustrated bartender, if he had daiquiris… he said what the f&#k is that, where do you think you’re at? I immediately knew if I was rude back things would escalate, so I replied, frozen drinks… then he said strawberry and piña colada, I asked for both mixed in 1 drink with a Corona… he clearly had something against me as he was also attending other customers with a much better attitude. The guy gives me 2 frozen drinks 1 strawberry and 1 piña colada… smh, I told him it’s 1 drink with both flavors mixed and he again started arguing with me, I completely ignored him, proceeded to payment with my card, obviously did not tip the guy, only paid the $19.50 and wrote him a little note saying, be nicer next time! FYI, I’m all in for tipping this industry as I know it’s a tuff job, but not when treated this way… well to end this story, I move to a side to let me friends order their drinks who were eager to leave as they witness what happened and the bar tender reads my note, and says I knew she was a f&#n c&nt wow really???? My friends disagreed with him, he flipped us all out of the bar and said we were not to be served there again… seriously!? What a way to leave this eye catching place… We are most certainly NOT going back there again!

Loved the bartender he was awesome. Have so much detail of the island he lives on!!! He made us feel welcome and he made some hella drinks!! The sand for the floor was what drew us in and the bar tender drew us back.

We did not see a show we just had drinks. Bartender seemed a bit bothered at first but he came around and we chatted for a while. Met one of the girls out front and she filled us in on all the good gossip!

I was just there last Friday for a bachelorette and had a fantastic time! We made it to the 11 oclock performance and the host, Kendra, MADE the night. She was amazing and honestly carried the show. Definitely dont miss her if youre looking for a great drag show, or if you like Taylor Swift.ps bride gets in for free!

Pudding! Pudding! Pudding! That’s all I have to say. He puts on a phenomenal show.OMG the girls and I enjoyed. We were over enjoyed.So make sure he’s working before you go.I give her a 10!! She did her thing.Pudding keep it up girl!Love itLove itLove it

Girlfriend was GROPED by a stranger with the bartender right next to us. Told the bartender, he didnt seem to care. For my girlfriend, who is a trans women, drag shows are supposed to be a safe space. This space was not safe. Shame 801 BOURBON, BE BETTER! This should have been a fun evening but left her feeling violated. Shame

Great Drag Show! A must see!! So much fun!

Hands down one of the most outrageous, one of a kind, fabulous drag shows I’ve eeeeeeever been too. Couldn’t recommend more. The girls all killed it (shoutout Puddin Taine), and the drinks were reasonably priced. Can’t wait to come back!

Fake atmosphere and fake charges. Too bad...wanted to like it.

The girls there are so amazing and personable! I made reservations at 9pm for four for my sister-in-laws bachelorette party and it was everybodys first time going to a drag show. BEST. NIGHT. EVER! We loved it so much we stayed for the 11pm showing! Sasha Cox brought the bride to be up on stage and made her twerk!! Seriously an awesome night out!! Might have to go out there for my soon to be bachelorette party ;)

Went to the drag show on a Sunday and it was kinda dead and uncomfortable at first. Eventually people filed in thank goodness. The show was more raunchy than Aqua which I liked. They actually got 2 guys in the audience to get completely naked on stage! They had some older drag queens there which I enjoy because theyre extra sassy. One of the older ones tore apart the girl behind me for not tipping which I thought was a little rude. Definitely a more intimate experience than Aqua but not as professional.

We were here over the span of several days and had a great time with AJ. On our last night we came in and Jesse was our bartender. He was very rude and couldnt even remember our order even though we only had two drinks. When he came back he saw I was holding the credit card and changed his behavior. Maybe it was his first night or something but at least he kept himself in check.

BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE THANK YOU QUEENS OF 801

Upstairs is the worlds greatest and naughtiest drag show. Straight couples should sit close to the stage so they can hear. Downstairs is the coldest beer in town. The bar will be packed with locals and tourists. The bartenders are always memorable, some of them can be quite quirky.

By far the best bar in town. We were in KW for a week and had our most fun here. Fantastic community and best bar tenders! Will definitely return here next time.

Great drag show! This bar has the most fun on the island for sure. It is a gay bar,though. I had a bunch of fun either way. Karaoke downstairs while the drag show is upstairs. Definitely worth a visit.

Went there specifically ro see some show at 9pm to find out that there is a 20.00 charge for tix per person just to get upstairs. Well, that makes no sense. I would have spent a lot more on alcohol and food just to see the show, This was my first time down in Key West and just wanted to see the show. Thanks for the disappointment.

Nice place, the drag show was certainly an experience. Im not too impressed with drag shows to begin with, yeah I get it youre dressed up like women and lip syncing but... like, thats it. Youd think in Key West they might step it up a notch, give the audience more than that, but... wishful thinking I suppose.

Marilyn was the most wonderful performer! I cannot wait to come back and see her. she made me feel right at home and she is not a replaceable piece of bourbon street I should not let it slip that she will be performing in Raleigh North Carolina June 6-12th, sorry Oopsies! ❤️

I’ve seen a lot of drag shows from New Orleans to Palm Springs California. Savannah Lynn stole my heart.not only is she a great MC she’s an incredible performer.

My friends and I were in here for about 10 minutes total. But I must say they were a pretty clean and fast service.The bar tender was nice and his drinks were really good!Overall I highly recommend this location. It must be a great time at night!

Horrible show. Do not recommend. I came with wife and friends and thought it was going to be like lucky chungs New York with a great show. It was a bunch of old drags lip singing. I never show a worst drag show.

The bartenders were so cool and friendly and the drag show and performers were amazing… loved them! A great time was had by all!

I LOVE this place. Especially my Lithuanian favorite conch bartender!! All love all the bartenders actually. In fact, I love the drag queens best

Bought tickets for naughty bike ride expecting mimosas, body painting, food trucks and a concert at the smokin tuna...received only mimosas until they ran out..which was fairly quick. Everything else was nonexistent. To say the least BUYER BEWARE! I would give only one star but the hosts were entertaining. They earned the second one.

We’re having the best time, Puddin’ Taine is a hoot !

This is a really fun bar! It filled with good music and color full atmosphere. It took me several minutes to realize that this was a gay bar! Great patrons made me feel at home. Highly recommended!

What a disaster! Paid over $300 for the Halloween Fest show with RubberDoll. Show was 10 minutes long and the then lights went out in the bar. Management should have a lot of explaining to do regarding this fiasco. Stay far away from this train wreck!

Alexxx… best bartender and love how funny and personable he is! He will be the reason I return next time in Key West!!!

This was the most fun I had in Key West. The queens are phenomenal and the stage is very intimate. Comfortable for everyone for sure. Special shout out to Sasha Cox!

Its easy to have a great time with a great atmosphere and awesome staff. I walked into the dimly lit bar, was welcomed by Jessica Grabbit on the mic, going to church on a Stevie Nicks number, sexy dancers on the bar (Marcel & TJ), grabbed drinks from Corey who is flippin adorable. I danced around with friends for a bit, making eyes at certain members of the attractive crowd, then made my way out back where Markie Mark took care of drinks for the rest of the night. I think it was a total of 4-6 minutes before my pants and jock hit the ground. . .😈

Stumbled into 801 & never wanted to leave. From the atmosphere to the staff... this place is a must! Met the owners of Annas Cabana & got to know a few locals who gave us some places to go around town. Will never forget this bar and cant wait to go back. Steven (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) Thanks for making this day amazing!! We will see you in October!!

Probably a one-off here. Came in solo on a Wednesday night so it wasn’t busy. Bartender saw me sit down at the bar but ignored me for 10 mins. Finally came over and I got a yeungling for $6. I’m sure the drag shows and what not are a great time. For me though....pass.

Decent gay bar . Pool out back . Clothing optional.

Idk what it is about the keys and the service industry giving you crappy service but this place is the opposite. Jess and Kyle were on it. As a mixologist from Greenville sc, the cocktails and service was AMAZING!!!! So happy we stopped by her. The drag show was wonderful as well.

The man downstairs selling tickets is INCREDIBLY rude! Eight of us were in Key West for a week and this guys nasty attitude was our only negative experience. This was the evening of June 23rd. We went to Aqua Bar instead and had an amazing time!

The night bartender Lyndsey is by far one of the best and nicest I have ever came across. There Saturday day afternoon show that was free was so funny and packed so much fun great experience.

So fun. Cant wait to return again

Love, love, love 801!!! Performers & bartenders are amazing! So friendly & lots of fun. Our last stop almost every night were in Key West. Everyone is welcome!

There were some good points. The MC was great. But some of the performers were amateur and seemed to miss the point. It was ok but La Te Das is much more entertaining

Visited this place on July 23rd, 2019.Somehow, the $20 tip I left on a $48 tab turned into a $200 tip.The establishment is of no help and there is no way to reach any of the staff due to the fact that their phone line is constantly busy. I advise all to be extremely careful while making purchases there and hold onto their credit cards and receipts.

Awesome atmosphere! We got to see a free drag queen show, the music is rythmic and everyone can single along the Madonna classics etc. Come here for a drinks stop

Wife and I were walking down Duval and needed a restroom and a place to rest our feet briefly. It was mid morning and had mimosas. Great little place even if your straight!

Best drag show ever!

Tammy is the best! Can’t wait to see you again! She knows how to run a great business and is truly a great friend!

Given the kind and price of drinks and the music inside, I dont find a 5$ charge (cash only) justified. The go-go boys are handsome. The drinks are average. They accept credit cards.

We had so much fun tonight we stayed for both shows! Thank you for all the laughs! ❤️

Come for the giant skeleton, stay for the drag show

The door man was rude. I spent most of the show looking at bartenders who were blocking the view. I misses most of the show. The worst event in all of Key West.

Great times! A great and hilarious drag show.The hostess was great. And queens were great. 10/10.

801 is a great place to pop in during the day for a refreshing drink and friendly conversation with tourists and locals. There is a drag show in the evening thats fun.

Such a fun time & excellent show!

The Queens were AMAZING.... especially Jade Starr, she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so talented. Had a great time!!!!

The staff is efficient and creative, the property is easily accessible from many open air doorways leading directly onto Duval St and offers several venues for entertainment and the all the bars are free pour

Loved the show! Best money spent here! It was soooo much fun!!!

Great fun little bar. Always a drag event going on. Drinks were strong!

So fun!! The drag show was a lot of fun and very entertaining. The girls were all lively and interactive! The bartenders were very friendly and The drinks were perfect as well as well-priced! Thanks for a great time! 💋

Such a fun place. Love the drag performances and the bartenders are always friendly and give quick service.

Terrible! Rude service personnel, expensive drinks, charging $15 for a bad drag show and then guilting people into tipping after every performance. And honestly, the bar owner gave me the creeps. Do not go!

Watch out for drunk locals who dont know how to shut their mouth. Ruined what was supposed to be a fun experience. Will NOT be going back. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO HAVE FUN!

Puddin Taine amazing loved the show.

The power tripping lady who doesnt want to be bothered with a simple question about the drag bar/show upstairs, she needs to be ummm.... friendly. Shes needs to be fired, spoiled the night for my group

After using my Amex there I got a number of charges not related.Be very carefulIt looks like they pass the card details on .My card was only used there, so can’t be anywhere else

It was a wonderful experience and Deja was the greatest and a very nice person..thank Deja from Leonard and Dee Burke..we are forever grateful..your the best and 801 is lucky to have you..continued success Deja you deserve it..what a great drag show..Leonard and Dee

Bar was ok, nice bartender, BUT the person who’s at the drag show desk entrance was rude. Does not give the information complete and politely.

Nice show, but can be really quiet on some nights! The gals work their ass off to entertain and drinks are ok!

Some of the nicest Drag Queens Ive ever met, and Ive met many! Much nicer show than Aqua

Very disappointed, to see the drag show the charge you $20 . ,

Never a dull moment at this Key West staple. Fun bartenders, cheap drinks, handsome go-go boys. You just can’t go wrong with this place

Did not actually go in this bar but the people standing on the street trying to get people to come in were extremely rude!!

Went for New Years Eve and had an absolute blast!

Great for a quick drink!!

Fun, funny, all around a great time and Puddin was so fun and friendly!!!

Great bar staff, great drinks, amazing drag show upstairs in the cabaret! 9:00 & 11:00 every night!

Bad service the bartender girl a chubby like Russian girl ugh really bad attitude from her, bad experience in this bar not coming again... Dont waste your money guys...

Great Drag Show!!

If your looking for Ru Paul type of Drag.This is not it.Drinks are small and expensive.Go down the street to Aqua

Fun place, great staff, well priced drinks and open late.

It was very dusty and dirty. One Queen in particular needed to retire. It was meh

Hopefully you know what you are in for when you are looking for this place. Great entertainment and a fun show.Enjoy your time in Key West. Cheers 🍻

Swing couple here.. great relaxing atmosphere with great looking guys.. no pressure on any level.. Guys no how to entertain. Fun fun fun.........

I was roaming Duval Street almost 2 months ago and documenting what I saw. Loved this candid photograph I took while on my night stroll.

The best thing to say about this bar is that all are welcomed with open arms, regardless of your personal lifestyle. Thank you most sincerely.

We had such a blast at the drag show! Highly recommend!!

Atmosphere was a 5/5! Great place for locals. Not too Pricey. Something for everyone!

If I lived in the area, this would be my go-to spot. The staff is aaaaa-mazing. Thank you so much for the wonderful time.

Cold drinks, good music. And DOGS!

One of the most fun bars on the island. Stop in for a drink and open your mind a little. You wont regret it.

Tap lines were moldy. Ordered 2 beers that had chunks of mold in them and got yelled at by the bartender as we were leaving.

Absolutely love it here !!!! The girls are AMAZING ! I’m going to miss them when I go back to Pennsylvania.

Amazing, best drag show I ever seen !Must go

It was awesome had a blast! These girls have a awesome show!!

Lots of fun. Great show. Drag Queens are a riot.

The queeen was so rude to us , we arrive early they sat us behind stage , when we ask to move , they were so rude We had to leave .... bad bad bad , wil never support this establishment .

So much fun. great drinks and great performers 🧡

Show was not good. Not worth the money. They need to retire. Awful had to leave early could not take it anymore. Go down the street

For a great time in key west see the best and outrageous in drag queen behavior.

Nice bar on Duval street for a quick drink or hunker down for the night. Good service and nice atmosphere.

Went for a drag show with friends and had a great time!

Fabulous Darling 👌

Diversity and Alternative paradise! Take an a show and see the talent within! Everyone is always welcome!

Out of everything needed for a good bourbon cocktail

Great drag shows!

Jesse was amazing, Jesse did US good LOL, from Jersey the Jersey crew

Worst bartender, the drinks more water than drinks and horrible service.

The door person had horrible body odor... HORRIBLE. The queens are boring. Not what it used to be.

Thanks for a great time! See you next year for sure:)

Only a couple of days a week but when the bartender Gator is working this the best place in Key West
