Part of the Gay Key West Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Key West, Florida
Key West's gay leather and cruise bar, open nightly till 4am.
One Saloon is Key West's gay leather and Levi bar, running since the 1980s on the corner of Petronia and Duval in the Pink Triangle as part of the Bourbon Street Pub complex. The same building holds the Leather Master gear shop, so you can pick up what you need and stay for the night without leaving the block. It's one of the island's latest-closing rooms, with a deliberately cruisy, old-school atmosphere. The crowd skews bears, cubs, and masculine-identified men, and the programming leans into that: Friday's Cock Shock at midnight is a clothing-optional leather and fetish night with a dungeon downstairs. If you're after Key West's polished cocktail scene, this isn't it, and that's the point. It's the closest thing the island has to a dedicated leather bar, and it knows exactly who it's for.

Florida's gay resorts are spread across five cities with very different styles. Here is the statewide picture: which cities have clothing-optional men's resorts, which have gay hotels anyone can book, what each one's own site says it costs, and where to go deeper.

Key West is down to four gay-owned or gay-centered places to stay after Equator Resort closed in January 2025: two clothing-optional men's resorts, one adults-only guesthouse that welcomes everyone, and the hotel that shares its grounds with a nightly drag cabaret and the Sunday Tea Dance. Here is what each one's own site says about who can stay, where clothing is optional, what it costs and which weekends carry minimum stays.
