About this place Aqua Nightclub

Aqua Nightclub at 711 Duval is the closest Key West comes to a proper nightclub in the metropolitan sense — a multi-level venue with a main dance floor, a bar area, an outdoor section with pool access, drag shows, live entertainment, and the capacity to hold the crowds that Duval Street attracts in season. The programming is varied throughout the week: drag nights, themed parties, cabaret performances, DJ nights with dance floor emphasis. The crowd is broad in the way that Duval Street's position as the gay Main Street of the Florida Keys demands — it includes Key West regulars, cruise ship passengers, visitors from Miami and other Florida cities, and international tourists. The outdoor pool bar gives Aqua a feature that distinguishes it from the interior-only bars further up the street; in Key West's year-round heat, the ability to combine a swim with a drink and a show is a meaningful advantage. Aqua is particularly strong on Pride weekend in June and during Fantasy Fest in October, when the island's expanded crowd fills the venue to its considerable capacity.

Absolutely amazing place! My friends and I had VIP seats last night and we literally had the time of our lives! Charlize Angel Lords, Rene Marie, and Beatrix Dixie put on one hell of a show! We laughed, cried, and screamed our heads off!

We have gone to the drag show here two times and have had the most amazing time. The latest time we brought our friends who also loved it. This was the highlight of our trip. If you are in key west, this is the drag show to put on your list! The drinks were great, the service awesome and the drag show is epic. You will have the best time! The drag queens are witty and talented which makes for so much fun. Definitely go to the 9pm drag show!

For $20 a head on a Thursday night, our party of 15 was extremely disappointed. 3 drags and only 1 had any energy in her act but all 3 made their way around the room during individual sets pimping for tips. First time in my experience to have that happen. We left just 30 minutes into the 2 hours so can't rate the rest of the show.
