About Bull & Whistle Bar

Whistle Bar Key West

As we mentioned, Garden of Eden is nothing but a part of the Bull & Whistle Bar. This place consists of three floors that offer a different experience to all customers.

The Bull is on the first floor. We recommend it if you want to go to a pub with a chill atmosphere to hang out with your friends while you listen to good music.

Up next is The Whistle. This one is on the second floor, and it’s for people looking for an upbeat experience. The bar is filled with pool tables and all kinds of drinking games.

At last, we have Garden of Eden. The clothing-optional bar we will review on this page offers an open-minded way to have fun in Key West.

What Makes Garden of Eden Special?

Needless to say, what makes Garden of Eden stand out from other options is that you can be naked there. However, the bar is much more than just that.

Garden of Eden promotes being yourself. Customers don’t have to hide who they are to have fun. Therefore, the atmosphere is mostly friendly among other clients and staff alike. If it’s your first time going, everyone will try to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

We loved that the bar has strict security measures to make sure customers can have fun in a safe and respectful environment. You won’t be able to take any kind of photos or videos. Also, the staff acts quickly if they notice someone bothering the other clients in any way.

Once you are in the bar, you will see that the dance floor takes up most of the room. However, you still have some space to speak to your friends if you want to rest up a bit.

I wish I could provide photos of Garden of Eden, but they are strictly prohibited.  Anyone taking photos will be apprehended by the bouncers and thrown out. They don’t mess around with this, so I’m sorry to report, I don’t have any Garden of Eden pics to show!
