Fun corner bar that's a must-stop on the walk to or from a visit to the Hemingway Home. Lots of locals as well as wandering tourists. Checking out the signs, memorabilia and assorted junk hanging around the bar is worth popping in for a cold one.

Duval Street Irish bar includes weekly live performances by Irish Kevin himself, an Irish immigrant who settled in Key West in 1992 and opened a pub on Duval Street.

The Lazy Gecko
