It wasn’t just a bar—it was Key West’s answer to Studio 54. The Monster sprang to life in the early 1970s on Duval Street, tucked behind a mysterious front entrance that led to open-air dance floors, mirrored disco balls, and drag performances that blurred every line (yes, even the ones on your palms). Back then, the island's local studs and visiting divas lived it up until AIDS changed everything. It closed sometime in the early 1980s, but for those who were there, it wasn’t just nightlife—it was freedom in motion.
