Fabulous bar! Felt like a hidden gem. Quiet, cozy and beautifully decorated with a handsome bar stocked with all the best things you'd want to drink. Special shout out to Robin behind the bar who is so hospitable and warm! Definitely a great off the beaten path option if you want to have a nice drink without being around hordes of people.

Great atmosphere and amazing drinks. The bar tender is working magic behind the bar here. We ordered their Roost Mule made with their homemade ginger beer and it was very good! Definitely stop in!

This was an absolute gem of a place. Blondie is an absolute delight and the drinks are perfection. The best service, drinks, and atmosphere we’ve had in the Keys.
Hector Pina
Honestly some of the best drinks at key west. It’s nice and relaxing in here. The bartender was super knowledgeable and made great cocktails.

Jenny Bao
Such a hidden gem! Great drinks, including craft cocktails and the best Moscow Mule on draft I've ever had. The atmosphere is cozy and sophisticated. Definitely a nice change of pace from Duval.
Rachelle Malaney
A small little gem with a wonderful atmosphere and even better cocktails. Need a break from outdoor sweaty tourists slinging pina coladas? This is a wonderful spot that feels like a treat. The owner is lovely and makes fantastic drinks. Highly recommend coming in here after dinner, for happy hour, or as a date night. And they have AC!
Lauren Lupo
What a hidden gem! Tonight was our first time stopping in here for a drink. Great atmosphere and even better service. It is kind of like a speak easy ish vibe with dim lighting and soft music. Blondie is AMAZING! She is so sweet and made the entire experience wonderful. Definitely stop in here while in town!

We had the most amazing experience with Annette last night!! The bar tenders have a ton of personality and humor and the drinks were top notch!! A truly elevated experience!

The Roost is a small bar just off Duval St that sells liquor to-go. With a bar scene as big as Key West, it’s essential to stand out, and there is one distinct aspect that allows The Roost to be one of the best bars in Key West, and her name is Annette.
Annette is a true mixologist that makes some of the best drinks in Key West, but it’s her personality that makes this bar famous. She is a fiery woman that moves around the bar with an efficiency that makes you know you’re in the right place. Annette is assertive and commands the room. She makes fun of everyone in the bar, cracks jokes, and tells great stories. She is the authentic experience at The Roost. She makes everyone feel like they’re just hanging out in a living room with old friends, enjoying drinks.
I have a group of friends that come to Key West every year; we always make our way to The Roost to say hello and have a few drinks with Annette. She is a wonderful person, and you will undoubtedly leave that place happier than when you arrived.
If you plan to enjoy the sites and sounds of Key West, you have to grab a seat at the bar, order a drink you have never had, and enjoy a great experience with Annette.

Bartender Annette was awesome. Great conversation. Knows how to keep the customer happy. Upscale. Great cocktails.
Very clean. Great decor. Bathroom was spotless.
More expensive on Purpose.
Did not try the food. Wish I had. Will be back.
Update:. Returned four years later to find the same great place.
Steve Jergensen
Great Old Fashions, Bourbonnais, and other drinks. New bar tender that just started was named Blondie was amazing for just 3rd day on job.
Spacely Smith
Went in for a quick espresso martini, had the signature one and a traditional. Both were delicious and friendly bartender.
Sarah Starr
Stopped in briefly got a marg and charcuterie and it was outstanding. Cool vibe and solid drinks. Highly recommend.
Kim Hanson
Cozy bar half block off Duvall. Snazzy cocktails and acceptable wine and beer list. Closes a little early.

Did Shel Silverstein the Poet, Songwriter ect use to come drink here? I lived in Key West 20 years ago and would drink with Shelly in I think this lovely establishment... Perhaps I shouldn't mention it... LOL
Chris Eaton
We loved this place and the cocktails were amazing. And also Annette is a great bartender and hilarious, some just don’t seem to understand her European style and humor. Met a very nice local couple there and we enjoyed the conversation, as well as the entertainment.
Nailtini Day Spa
I love this place! Yummy martinis, and top shelf, hard to find liquors. Get the caviar! The staff is amazing, and if you see Annette, tell her I said hello! 😊
Ron Hobbs
WoW! One of the best true quality old-time personal service style bars in town. Lucky to have discovered this great local spot! Kudos.
Jacinto Posse-Abad
An absolute amazing bar just off Duval st. Many locals come here which shows how good this place is. I definitely recommend a visit, or two.. who am I kidding, come every night while you're in town!
Elizabeth Weinstock
Beautiful little spot on Fleming with artisan cocktails, wine and beer. Tastefully decorated and appointed with friendly, capable staff. A gem!
Emma Shield
One of my favorite places in Key West! The salmon plate is the best in town and the drinks are delicious.
Jenna Tempkin
Awesome vibe. Was visiting KW from San Diego and stumbled across this place. It's now on my recommendation list when friends travel down there!
Sabrina Campbell
Coming in the fresh herbs for the drinks caught my eye immediately, love that. Friendly bartender, great atmosphere. Very cozy and the drink selection is phenomenal.
Corinne Detruit
I kept seeing The Roost mentioned on Facebook and Instagram and started following. I knew I needed to check it out the next time we came down (5-6 times a yr). We popped in this past Friday 3/16 and spent the day with Debbie. She was amazing and spent a few hours drinking and chatting it up. We popped in late on 3/17 and met Sojo...loved him as well. Moscow mule was on tap and delicious!! We'll be back again in May!
Daniel Bitnar
