    Live music and beer, can't go wrong with that
    Yvonne R.

    Megan was amazing, super attentive and didn't even have to ask for anything she was already on top of it. 10/10 on the live music, loved the decor and location. Highly recommend! We ordered conch fritters as an app and it was so flavorful and delicious. Ordered the Mahi Mahi blackened and that right there is to die for. AMAZING. Cheers!

    This is a great spot for live music. The Great: The live music The Good: nice vibe The Bad: They are so busy, service is slooowww The Ugly: OMG if you sit on the patio and not under an umbrella you WILL get pooped on. I think this is a place to not miss. Just come, tuck in, order a cocktail, people watch and listen to music. We only had the nachos which took a LONG time to come out and were fine for your basic nacho.

    Every person we met in key west said to visit schooners! It was worth it - best fish taco of my life! Spicy blackened fish (lots of it) hit with jalapeño and the perfect spicy lunch with amazing live music. I topped my part of the fish taco with slaw and salsa and will ask for avocado next time - again, best fish taco ever!

    Coconut Shrimp

    Stopped by for happy hour and was seriously impressed. The cold drinks hit the spot, especially on a warm day, and the prices are hard to beat. I also tried the coconut shrimp--absolutely delicious, crispy on the outside with just the right amount of sweetness. Happy hour here is definitely worth checking out. Great value, tasty food, and refreshing drinks. I'll be back!

    Shari and I stopped in at the Schooner Wharf Bar at the Historical Wharf waterfront. The music is what drawer us in. The band was very good. It was an outside establishment and our waitress very friendly We both ordered sandwiches w Fries. I went with a seasoned chicken sandwich. There were birds and chickens walking around the restaurant floor Extremely interesting and Def memory maker

    First place we grabbed food right off the plane. The boys wanted oysters real bad. Like 3 dozen bad. I ordered blackened snapper and it was really good. I ate it with the salad but it was too much for me. They have gigantic salads that you can order also. If you come here, please order the seafood dishes. Everything tastes fresh. It took a bit for our food to come out and our waitress forgot a couple things, but it was busy so u can't blame her. There was live music playing and a loud crowd so even if you weren't planning for anything, a good time will be had.

    I'm not impressed with this place. Other than the live music and Minimal Regatta that occurred during our two visits, I wouldn't return. The staff are not friendly, it takes forever to get a drink and everything is dirty. Additionally, when I attempted to cash out on both visits the server just put everyone's drinks at the table on my bill, even though I was the only one getting up to leave, WTF!!! That's why I prefer paying with CASH versus a credit card so they can't F**k me like they tried to, two separate times with two different servers. Don't bother ordering one of their fancier drinks. I ordered their Key West Mai Thai ($10.75) and it was served in a cheap ass Dixie cup. The drink was ok but the presentation I expected for a restaurant in Key West was quickly deflated when it showed up in a plastic cup. Pricing is average for the area. Bottled Beer will run you $6.25 - $7.50, Imported Beers start at $7.50, Draft Beers $4.75-$6.75, Wine anywhere between $9-$14 a glass. I have to admit, you can have a lot of fun here especially if you're here for an event happening in the area such as the Minimal regatta or to see some live music with dancing. Other than that, it will be difficult for me to recommend Schooner Wharf Bar to anyone, or to plan my own return during my next visit to Key West. There are a lot of better options for drinks and food in the area.

    See attached Been coming to the keys for years but never stopped in - great entertainer but SW should not allow minors in the place after 9:00 -even if accompanied by parent. Parents can be idiots. Mho

    Good live music is their thing here!
    Chris R.

    This place is waterfront but once you're deep inside the innards of this very popular spot, you'll see no liquid except that in your plastic cup of $4-5 happy hour drink. They've got a wide selection of seafood and more served up on robust paper plates. Their servers are energetic, friendly, and harried. They're hustling. The live music is good, the drinks and food are reasonably priced, it's all fine. It was recommended by a friend as one of their fave KW spots. Another has since told me they love it, too. If I were to go again, it would be for the live music and drinks before or after dinner somewhere else. It's a classic KW dive, perfect for drinking and singing along, but better meals can be found nearby.

    Keylime colada! A delicious milkshake of rum and goodness
    Dena G.

    When in Key West, trying local eats and drinks is a must. My hubby and I dropped in to Schooner for a Key Lime Colada. I finally found an alcoholic beverage that my non-drinker husband really loves! We wound up sharing it, and I think we're gonna toast with them tomorrow night again. Schooner gets one star for a delicious beverage, another for friendly service, and a third for being right on the water. Unfortunately, there was a very bad smell that we could barely tolerate -- smelled like a dumpster -- and that knocked down the star level for me. It was a bad enough smell that we elected not to order anything to eat there. Atmosphere was lively and live music was cool. Food might be great, so try it yourself and see.

    Stopped here again today. Lunch was great and live music was great. Key Lime Pie is made from scratch in-house.

    I love the atmosphere and would give that a 5/5. But the food was probably a 2.5/5. I would come here to just hangout but I wouldn't eat here at least not the Jamaican Jerk Chicken. The star was the chipotle mayo everything else was meh. The serve was also a little off. So Meh overall...probably wouldn't come back.

    Before going into the details of the food, I want to begin by taking a minute to recognize Jackie…read moreour server. From the moment we entered the restaurant to the long after time of our departure, she continuously greeted us with excitement, joined us in conversation, and even helped us capture moments in pictures. She really helped make this a memorable experience for us. Now to the food. So I have had Broils in multiple areas of the country. From Maraylamd, Texas and to the Low Country of Charlestin SC, but I have never had as tasty of Broil as I just had at the Yummy Crab in Key West Florida. I mean this place was absolutely amazing! The flavor of every piece of crab, corn, crawfish, shrimp, sasauge and potatoes in the dripping wet cajun sauce served in a bag to retain all that juice, flavor and aroma was all nearly too much to contain. So glad of all the wonderful places on the island we had to eat we chose this place. Thank you Jackie for your outstanding hospitality and service. You are amazing!

    So disappointing, I seen that this place had good reviews…read moreso family and I decided to try this place. Plus seaside has to be good and fresh. Well we're a big group we did get seating fairly fast beside them having to out tables together they weren't busy at all. Once we got seating we wait for a good 10 mins or so for menus we had to eventually grab our selves. A couple walked in few minutes after us and got their menu as they sat down Now the boil. The spice they had for the boil had a sweet taste might have been the premade seafood boil seasoning. Thats what it tasted like to me .Wasn't to my liking. Something was eh about it. The fried oysters had a but if a fishy taste no go. I know a lot of places weights the seafood but the portions when they came out it was more like they added more corn and potatoes. For the price definitely wasn't worth it.

    A must visit in key west!…read more Reservations for outside I have heard sell out weeks in advance. We were able to get a reservation inside. I was a little bummed we didn't get to see the view, but the ambiance inside is lovely too. Their menus light up which was so helpful in a dark restaurant. Our server was super helpful and made some great recommendations. We tried a few different small plates to share and enjoyed a few cocktails. Absolutely love the desserts here. The bread pudding and key lime pie were to die for! Price wise this was a bit expensive but we paid comparable for less nice places in key west so I would say this is 100% worth a stop.

    This was our first time in Key West, and we made a reservation here to celebrate my wife's birthday…read morewith a group of six. It was a beautiful evening, and we were seated with a lovely view of the waterfront. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we were happy we chose this restaurant. Food: I always enjoy when a restaurant offers a creative and inventive cocktail menu. I won't go into detail on each one, but they were all very good, especially the Spiced Old Fashioned. At our server's suggestion, we ordered a couple of plates of the Grilled Ciabatta Bread. The bread was nicely grilled, and the roasted garlic manchego butter made it especially delicious. I normally try not to fill up on bread, but this was absolutely worth it. We ordered an eclectic mix of small and large plates. Some of the standout dishes included the Lobster Mac and Cheese, Swordfish, and Crab Cake. The Brussels sprouts took top honors, perfectly roasted without being greasy, full of flavor, and complemented by a generous amount of bacon. The one disappointment was the Pork Shank Osso Buco. While it was tender, it was only warm and a bit underseasoned. It was good, but not great, especially for someone who enjoys pork shank dishes. We saved room for dessert, and they were all crowd pleasers. My personal favorite was the Cuban Bread Pudding. The Chocolate Pistachio Crème Brûlée was also unique and delicious. Service: We had reservations for 7:30 and were seated promptly. The hostess and our server did a great job of making us feel welcome. The entire two-hour meal was well paced, and we always felt attended to. I was especially impressed with the backlit menu portfolios. They made it easy to read in the evening without guests needing to use their phone flashlights, which was a thoughtful and effective use of technology. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they placed a sign on the table acknowledging the occasion, which was a nice touch. It would have been even better if one of the desserts had included a lit candle. Atmosphere: The setting is beautiful. We were seated in a smaller dining room with several other tables. When we first arrived, there was a larger, very boisterous group nearby, and it made it difficult to hear our server. Fortunately, they left about 30 minutes into our meal, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed and enjoyable. Our waterfront view added to the experience. This was a very special evening. It was also the most expensive meal we had in Key West, so it was reasonable to have high expectations. With a few improvements, it could have been a five-star experience. Definitely a place we would return to.
