About LGBTQ+ Key West
Key West sits at the end of the Florida Keys and has one of the most relaxed gay scenes in the United States, concentrated on the 700 to 900 blocks of Duval Street. Bourbon Street Pub anchors it with an open-air garden and pool, 801 Bourbon is the home of island drag, and La Te Da runs cabaret at the quieter end. Key West Pride lands in June, but the town draws LGBTQ+ visitors year-round with a come-as-you-are spirit, guesthouses, and a walkable, tropical pace. It stays busiest from fall through spring.
