    9:19pm and I was told they are closing early due to repairs
    Rosa B.

    Came here for the first time recommended by the Marriott hotel and was told they were closing early due to repairs. Very unprofessional to close 41 minutes early and your website says you close at 10pm. Needless to say I came with my family from California to try this and this was a very poor experience.

    The peel and eat shrimp is never a disappointment and the food is great, however their happy hour has changed quite a bit. We come here every time we visit. This place used to have one of the best happy hours in Key West with so many options and now very minimal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a bar inside and outside with plenty of seating for large or small groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time we sat at a booth inside and the server never came so we decided to move to the bar, which had better service.

    Since my first time 2008, Alonzo's is my favorite restaurant on the waterfront docks. Their happy hour is the best deal. my poke bowl was fresh and delicious! I'll be back again.

    This was great restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere on the water overlooking the marina was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a variety of food from stone crab, salads, tuna nachos, blackened grouper and seafood pasta. All was excellent and we really enjoyed the fresh meal. Not all restaurants have fresh seafood from the boats but Alonzo's has contracts with some of the boats for fresh catches of the day. Our waitress was a native and her service was awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great choice for a family meal or to just enjoy the people and marina.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks for a great experience.

    Great cocktails

    Alonzo's Oyster Bar will always hold a special place in my heart. I first came here about two years ago on one of my very first dates with the love of my life, and the experience was unforgettable. Since then, I've returned again and again--and every single visit has been just as phenomenal. The food is always fresh and delicious, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in Key West[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the service has never been anything short of exceptional. Most recently, I brought my entire family visiting from Wisconsin, and they were blown away. From start to finish, the dinner was incredible, and our waitress went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. Alonzo's has become not just a restaurant for me, but a tradition--one that I look forward to sharing with loved ones every time I'm in Key West. If you want amazing seafood, warm hospitality, and a memorable dining experience, this is the place.

    My wife and I returned from a snorkeling trip and were hungry. Alonzo's Oyster Bar was right there on the dock, overlooking the seaport. We shared an order of caviar oysters on the half shell, and they were yummy. I had the Mahi BLT and my wife had the clam chowder, they were both very good. The also have a good selection of local draft beers, that are served ice cold. The service is fast and friendly. Next time we're in Key West, we'll be eating there again.

    Bang Bang Shrimp tacos were excellent $9 at Happy Hour
    Scott W.

    Excellent spot for happy hour while out-n-about shopping in the downtown area. They have a gorgeous view of the docks, multimillion $$$ Yachts, and there is a Tarpon feeding area as well. FYI - feeding time is at 4pm. We were greeted and promptly seated. Our server, Sabina, was very friendly and efficient. She kept our drinks topped off and was overall very attentive. We ordered three appetizers off the happy hour menu. We decided on the conch fritters ($9), the shrimp tacos ($9), and the warm crab and shrimp dip with chips ($11). Our food was out in 15 minutes, and most everything was freshly made. Conch fritters had great flavor but they were a little gummy and chewy for our taste. The dipping sauce was on the spicy side so that's something to be on the lookout for. The warm crab and shrimp dip was very good but also had a little spiciness to it, the chips were good but not freshly made or kept in a warmer before delivery; however, you do receive a lot of them. The shrimp tacos were our favorite if I were to do this all over again, I would have just ordered three sets of shrimp tacos, they were delicious. The restaurant has a modern nautical theme without being to overly nautical. We loved the view from the dock area and outside seating section near the back of the restaurant. The biggest issue I noticed while I was here was the restroom was not being attended to. There was a lot of water on the floor and areas where someone could slip there was also a full roll of toilet paper just laying on the floor in the stall. We were here for a while taking a break from the heat so I made two stops to the restroom during our visit and on both stops I noticed nothing had been cleaned or mopped up. All-in-all, it's a great spot for lunch or dinner, they fair pricing, an amazing view, friendly staff, ice cold beer and water.

    Wow. Cool place Right on the water We came here for happy hour around 4 pm Just in time for the tarpon feeding.! She said she feeds some little bits of Maui fish. Yum! We had the conch fritters.. My first time having them They were okay but not my favorite. Then we had the warm shrimp and crab dip With tortilla chips $11 so good! And you get a lot of it. We also had the bang bang shrimp tacos for $9 to get two of them. So good. And now we're stuffed so perfect amount of food. Friendly staff great atmosphere open air feel. Portions are great.

    We had a good time at Alonzo's ... just into Key West, walking the Key West Bight harbor area, watched the tarpon feeding out front, and viola, it's happy hour! Cocktails good, oysters good, mussels a bit spicy but good. Staff friendly and great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun place to stop for a cocktail, time it for the 4:00pm tarpon feeding![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Recommend Alonzo's!

    What brought us in first was the perfect breeze blowing through their outdoor seating area! It was by far one of the best spots we ate outdoors at. The views are great and that breeze is sheer bliss on a hot summer day. We had the oysters and pretzels as nice little snacks and both hit the spot big time. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Definitely worth a stop.

    Lots of good things about this place. It's located within the Key West Historic Seaport near many other restaurants, bars and things to do. They have a lot of outdoor seating with views of the water. The interior and restrooms were both clean and not terribly outdated. We didn't have to wait for a table, got seated outside right away on a Saturday evening during Memorial Day weekend. Our waitress was very attentive & quick. Lobster roll & mahi ruben were both delicious and the fries are truly something special. We also had the shrimp and lobster dip which was pretty good but nothing to write home about and I could say the same about the conch fritters. Overall a good experience, I would recommend & might be back next time we're in town.

    I stopped in at Alonzo's Oyster Bar for happy hour. I got a table facing the marina. Great views but preferred the atmosphere at the conch republic sea food company next door. That aside, the prices for happy hour are unbeatable and the items on the happy hour menu are numerous. I stayed out with oysters, followed by conch fritters, and then ended with peel and eat local shrimp. The shrimp were steamed in a beer sauce which was a little on the salty side. Service was quick but not rushed and the waitress was very nice.

    Pretzels with beer cheese!
    Diana T.

    Ate apps here before our sunset cruise. Candy was our server and she was very helpful! The food was good. Our favorite were the shrimp pizza, the buffalo shrimp and the pretzels with beer cheese! The restaurant was bustling with customers, but the vibe was pleasant!

And it's not only the drink menu with its custom crafted cocktails, wines, beers & ciders that will wow you but the accompanying snacks and bites are just as divine. And bonus, it's not only a bar, but also a liquor store with an awesome selection of wines and spirits. This bar definitely has a locals vibe. It's small , dark and cozy and the small tables with velvet chairs are very welcoming. We loved it so much. We came back for a second night. We tried the Maria Rita, which was a reposado tequila with fresh lemon, lime, hibiscus, and habanero, perfect version of a margarita. We also tried blowing smoke up your glass, this was made with Papa Pilar, dark rum, pineapple, fresh lime, house made basil syrup & tiki bitters. Absolutely fabulous. We also tried their deviled eggs each topped with unique toppings like trout row, bacon, and scallions. They were absolutely fabulous. They also have a great selection of charcuterie, Key nuts which you can order with different flavor, profiles, caviar, olives & peppers. Also, the most generous happy hour I've ever heard of from 12 to 6 PM every day. Don't miss out on this little jewel when in Key West.

There is a small bar with about 12 stools, a small lounge area with about 4 small seating nooks, and then a high top bench area that is along the wall. Service and set up of this place is not conducive to being able to attend to patrons. Could only order food if you were seated at the bar. We sat at the high tops and you had to go to the bar to get your drinks. Problem is that the bar has patrons sitting as well so you are hovering over them waiting for a drink. It was very uncomfortable to impose upon others to try to get a drink. I am sure they didn't appreciate the audience as they were eating as well. The bartenders were way too busy and overwhelmed. Not only are they serving the seated patrons and the 4 small nooks, they are also making drinks for the attached restaurant. There were a gazillion tickets coming out of the printer and servers standing on the other side of the window waiting. It's just not possible to serve everyone with just two bartenders. We waited about 10 minutes for service. The drinks were underwhelming for a speakeasy. Just your typical menu. What we ordered was okay. They just missed a great opportunity to create unique twists on classics or to have craft cocktails. Even the classics (which are perfect for a speakeasy) weren't that great. For a speakeasy, the drinks are the main event. Glad we tried it as we always seek out speakeasies. Wouldn't go again.
