The Retro Room

The Retro Room is a uniquely Key West bar and game room experience located at 126 Simonton Street just steps from Duval Street, combining one of the largest tap lists in the Florida Keys with an extensive collection of retro video games, board games, and card games for a playful, unplugged alternative to the island's typical bar scene. The 24-tap draft system rotates constantly and features an eclectic mix of craft beers, sake, sangria, Delta-9 beverages, cold brew coffee, and specialty concoctions, with a Cooler of Mystery stocked with additional craft cans, bottles, canned cocktails, craft sodas, and non-alcoholic options, plus a curated wine and sake list and a full espresso bar. Classic arcade games including Mortal Kombat, Galaga, Pac-Man, Big Buck Hunter, Guitar Hero, and pinball are available to customers — most for free — alongside hundreds of board and card games ranging from UNO and Operation to Terraforming Mars and Ticket to Ride. The Retro Room hosts events every day of the week including weekly trivia nights, monthly tournaments, bar crawls, and drink specials, making it one of the most consistently active community gathering spots in Key West, with the establishment also being dog-friendly and wheelchair accessible.
