Old Kew West

This place is what Key West used to be.......... In the "new" Key West there are a lot of gay pride flags, a lot of gay friendly places. What's missing is a place where gay men can just hang out with other gay men and relax. It's a side effect of how open Key West is. Because no one, well almost no one, cares if you are gay and you can go to any club on the Island the straights want to come to the gay bars and enjoy themselves. For example I just spent a week in KW and every bar I went to but one was freaking total overrun with straight women.......someone even thought it was a good idea to have a batchlorrette party at a gay club featuring gay dancers because they where so "hot". Now I'm glad that things are so cool that straight women are descending on the gay clubs........okay thats a lie. Please come have a drink at the bar, catch a drag show, but please don't take over the damn bar. Enter Saloon One, a cut back to the older side of key west, it's a bit retro and in desperate need of a remodel. True there are the cruisers and it's not uncommon to find someone having a bit of fun on the pouch. But you will also find men who really want to spend some time with other gay men, most just want to drink a drink and have a laugh with other gay men. So when in key west please please vist Saloon One, have a few drinks and help keep this last little bit of the old Key West alive if for no other reason than we need a place for us.
