Bars & Saloons
Blue Bar
3841 N Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL
Blue Bar operates poolside at the Key West Marriott Beachside Resort and Residences on North Roosevelt Boulevard, functioning as the resort's casual dining and beverage outlet with a direct sightline to the water and the hotel pool deck. The bar serves both hotel guests seeking convenient refreshment and external visitors accessing the resort's dining venues, creating a relaxed atmosphere where the ocean backdrop and poolside setting determine much of the vibe. Craft cocktails share menu space with beer selections and straightforward mixed drinks, executed by bartenders who treat the craft with evident care and attention. The setting itself—poolside, waterfront, with the ambient sounds of water and resort ambiance—distinguishes it from the packed, street-level bars dominating Key West's tourist corridors; the trade-off is proximity to the Beachside's guests and their rhythms.
For riders seeking respite from the intensity of downtown Key West, Blue Bar offers a deliberate change of pace: quieter, more spatially generous, and oriented toward ease of service rather than crowd management. The resort pool access and waterfront setting create a softer social dynamic than the street-level drinking scenes, and the drink quality ensures that the poolside position doesn't become an excuse for casual bartending. Visitors arriving by motorcycle will find adequate parking available through the resort and a practical alternative to fighting for space in downtown venues.
