A MUST-SEE PURELY KEY WEST EXPERIENCE...

You Havent "Seen" Key West Unless you have seen A Real Key West Style Drag Show... Trust Me.. WILD, Fun, Crazy, Sexy, Funny, Shocking, & OVER THE TOP.. UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.. Featuring Veteran World Famous Drag Queens.. They Say "Drink" & they mean it.. GO WITH IT & LET LOOSE!!!!! I Have had some of the BEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE at the 801 Caberet Shows. Still one of the only places in the country that has Drag Shows Nightly.. still Every night at 9 & 11. DO NOT Get back on the plane unless you have seen a Drag Show & TAKE CARE OF THE PERFORMERS FOR THE BEST SHOW-They Get Really Crazy-Making the Audience Part of the Show..

Not impressed

Just a horrible messy show. Expected more being the longest drag show on the island. The only good thing was the dance stairs bar and Matt the bartender. Nice friendly guy and quick service.

Not worth the 10.00 cover

Atmosphere in AQUA is much more casual and entertaining. They charge 10.00 for the show (not negotiable) and the second you walk up there, they push a tip bucket in your face and they are very aggressive with the bucket after every performance. I totally get that they work from tips, but when you are already paying 10.00, let it be an option. The few nights I was there this past week, it was totally dead. They would do a lot more business (in drinks) and make a lot more in tips if they waived the cover (at least during the week). I know these performers work very hard and they deserve to make more money.
