    Three Layers of Key West Characters - Bull and Whistle Bar

    The bar is housed in a historic three-story building from the early 1900s, that originally served as a boarding house and later as a brothel catering to the sailors and seamen who visited the famous port.

    In the 1920s during prohibition it became a speakeasy and continued to operate as a gambling den and smugglers hideout, making it a notorious spot in the Key West underworld.

    The ground floor is The Bull,  an extensive open-air ambience bar with daily live music by local performers, surrounded by images of Henry Flagler, Tennessee Williams and Mel Fisher.

    Upstairs is The Whistle, a spacious bar with pool tables and games with a wrap around balcony that reminds of the French Quarter,  overlooking bustling Duval Street which is a great spot for people watching.

    Put $2 into the breathalyzer on the wall and see how many countries you are legally drunk in.

    The third floor is the Garden of Eden rooftop bar that promotes a clothing optional policy,  providing an audacious and liberating experience, along with  panoramic views of the island.

    They also offer free body painting and there’s a live DJ.

    So come and dance, drink and get naked!

    The last of the classic Key West open air bars at the end of Route 1.

    Soup of the day is tequila.
