About The Roost

The Roost is a charming bar nestled just off Duval Street in the heart of Key West. This relaxing oasis offers true craft cocktails, with a focus on classic rock music that creates a soothing atmosphere. The bar is known for its delicious Old Fashioneds served on Wednesdays, which are a must-try. The knowledgeable and friendly bartenders provide excellent service, ensuring a welcoming experience for all. Visitors highly recommend this establishment for a night out, as it is praised for its quality drinks, strong and tasty cocktails, and great atmosphere. The Roost is also known for its elevated happy hour experience, with guests raving about the perfect caviar and cosmopolitan, as well as the delicious Parmesan cheese plate. However, recent visits have seen some setbacks, such as a refrigeration glitch that prevented them from serving caviar or other refrigerated items, which disappointed some customers. Despite this, the bartenders, including Bowen, are praised for their friendly service and cocktail skills. The bar is considered one of the closest to a true cocktail experience in town, with no skimping on alcohol and a warm, homely vibe. The Old Fashioned and Bloody Mary are favorites, and the Maria Rita, with citrus, berries, and chili, is often called the best cocktail ever. Overall, The Roost remains a cozy, inviting spot to enjoy quality drinks and a great atmosphere.
