We stopped in the Bull & Whistle right after the sunset at Mallory Square on a Thursday evening last week. All the other nearby bars and restaurants were humming at or near capacity and there were good vibrations in the air of Duval Street. We stopped in the Bull & Whistle. There were only a few occupied tables on the... More

"Bull Whistle Bar" musicians/singers include Patrons in their show. Great music from these very talented singers. We drank, sang, danced, even performed and laughed a lot. Great bar!! And, it has dress optional bar on 3rd floor. More

First off, Key West is a great time. My girlfriend and I had a blast on our vacation. Except when we came to this bar. The bartender was the rudest person we encountered during the week we were there. The Bull was slow when we were there (about 8-10 people at the actual bar). She asked what we'd like to... More

Yes it is one of the oldest typical tourist bars on Duval, but it's worth the stop. Everyone there was very friendly, they were accommodating, the drinks were good, the murals on the walls were very cool, and the prices weren't too high. Stop in while you walk up and down the street. It's worth the stop. More

The Bull is somewhat of a dive, but I say that in a kind way. It has 3 levels. First floor is a very open typical "bar" usually with live entertainment. The second floor is more laid back and has a balcony overlooking Duval St. One of my favorite places to enjoy a cold brew and people watch! The third... More

We found The Bull from all the margarita coupons lying around at the airport, and it certainly delivered, with the drinks dispensed directly from the tap. Although this bar was MUCH cleaner and lighter, it reminded me of the greatest dive on the planet, "La Casa", on Decatur St. in the French Quarter back in the 60's. The Bull has... More

This location has soooo many personalities. The ground floor offers a younger flavor to both music and atmosphere, the second floor is more 30-50's age group, and the third floor is the Garden of Eden (clothing optional). While we were there, there was no cover charge and there was a continuous 2 for 1 special. The balcony offers a great... More

This is a fun place to hang out and people-watch. If you get there, head upstairs and try to get a place on the deck overlooking Duval St. I didn't eat there, but the drinks were great, and the bartenders are fast. Great service, and not too expensive for Key West. Great place to unwind. More

Spent our afternoons on the balcony people watching during Fantasy Fest and the drinks were the least expensive (and well poured) that we had all week. Get a place on the balcony mid-afternoon and watch the crowd while your head gets fuzzy :) More

My husband and I had two rounds of drinks (horrible) at this bar. Each time the bill was $23.00 . We paid each time with our debit card. We NEVER opened a tab, just paid the bill each time. The next morning we got a call from our bank that there was some suspicious activity on our card. There were... More
