What makes Saloon 1 special
Saloon 1 is part of the complex around Bourbon St. Pub and 801 Bourbon at the corner of Petronia and Duval Street and has been Key West’s leather and Levi’s bar since the 1980s. In the same building, the Leather Master shop sells gear and equipment.
There is pool and darts, and the drinks are generously poured. On Fridays the leather and fetish night Cock Shock takes place, when the dungeon in the basement is also open.
Atmosphere and crowd
Bears, cubs and masculine men, mostly over 40. Early in the evening it is mainly locals; later the crowd spills over from Duval Street.

- are looking for a cruising bar after the drag shows
- like pool and darts in a rough-and-ready atmosphere
Not ideal if you …
- are looking for a mixed bar with women and friends
