Key Largo (closed)

Easy meeting place –"I'll see you by the two 8–foot metal lizards and flame–spurting torches on Broad Street". And inside, though it's not quite so mind–bendingly different, it does hit the spot. Bright and colourful with a sense of warmth during the day and party crowd at night. Business schmoozers can usually be seen here during the week with some impressive penny–pinching drinks discounts, but then come the weekend, prices revert back to the usual Broad Street standards and the tunes crank up to club–level volumes. Sunday's house a regular gay event attracting a diferent crowd to the rest of the week. Usually food in bars like this is cooked by a bunch of cack–handed gibbons with spatulas; happily, the good folk from Celebrity Balti are responsible for the grub here, so it's some of the best around.
