Ok. Good location right on the water next to the pier. Average food and drinks for the price.

Loved this spot right by the water on a recent trip down to Key West. My friends and I were riding back to our townhouse rental from Mallory Square and were trying to find a nice place for dinner on our last night before leaving to go home. We could hear the live music and chose to stop here based on the performance and look of the of the place. Service was a little slow due to how busy the place was, but the food was amazing especially for the price. Between the three of us, we ordered two buckets of beer. I was a bit disappointed to see that we were charged for each beer individually rather than given a discount since buckets were advertised. Keep that in mind if you do order. With that being said, I'd happily recommend this place if you ever get the chance to visit this wonderful island! read more

Great music venue and spot to get a quick drink. Great location by the famous fish docks. Fun to explore and people watch. I was on a mission to try as many conch fritters and I think they were the best at Schooners Wharf. A great spot to relax, listen to music and enjoy the ocean breeze. This is a very old bar with a lot of history. read more

Waiter was less than attentive. Could tell he was angry that we only ordered drinks and an appetizer to share. Never asked if we wanted another drink. We even had to track him down to ask for our bill after sitting for quite some time. read more

The very best "dive" bar. Always a required stop in Key West. Staff is amazing - helpful, friendly and many have worked there for a long time. Cold beer, great music, drinks and merch. A last little bit of Old Key West. We just love this place. read more

We stopped in on a Sunday evening near sunset and it was super chill. We grabbed a table closest to the water. The vibe here is great and there was also live music which wasn't blaring so it also contributed to the relaxed mood. Dylan helped us and he was super nice and didn't hover - great service. I got a strawberry margarita and my group got a few Dark & Stormy's and a Tom Collins. I know it's weird for Key West, but I did ask for about half the alcohol because even though we were camped for a bit and going to walk after - I was driving later and no one wants to be that person. It was really yummy and the prices were great for being right on the water. I will definitely come back to this bar - it has been one of my favorites so far. read more

If you're looking for a very low key spot with some fun live music near the water, head to Schooner Wharf Bar. We stopped by for lunch while waiting to board the Key West Express, so we knew we needed some good food and local color. This place is not fancy by any means, but the service is outstanding (I cannot stress this enough) and the food is very good. It's a seat-yourself place (at least for lunch the day we went), but we didn't wait more than 3 minutes before our server found us, brought us menus and took our drink orders. We were not rushed at all, and had a nice lunch in the sunshine. The portions, especially for the salads, were very large. Everything is served on paper plates with plastic silverware and drinks come in plastic cups...very low maintenance and easy clean-up for the staff. The music can be loud in certain parts of the bar and they do allow (even encourage) smoking since the entire restaurant is outside. I don't love the smell of smoke while I'm eating, especially the cigar smoke from the cigars they sell on premises. But I get that is part of their whole atmosphere and experience. Good to know ahead of time so maybe you can grab a seat away from any active smokers. read more

Stopped in here twice for late night snack and cocktails. Wharf front, with various musical acts both times. Thursday nights are super busy because of a very popular local guitar player, but still able to find a table. Super laid back and chill, this is the place you see in your head when you think of Key West bars. Didn't have a full on meal here, and wanted the burger so bad, but just had bar food; black beans and cheese nachos, which went great with my Crazy Lady Blonde Ale, Buffalo shrimp and the jerk chicken sammy. All were very good. Shorts and shoes not required here it seem . Go to their website and checkout their live stream cams to see how crowded it is maybe, before you head over. read more

The Schooner Wharf Bar is another excellent, quintessential Key West bar. The vibe is perfect. Chill, comfortable with an edge that insanity could present itself at any moment. The solid drinks and interesting staff are huge plusses. The live entertainment is excellent. The bathroom should be condemned. The food is ok, we did not try much so I'm with holding any sharp commentary. The regulars or locals or whoever that wander in and out are great and add to the flavor. It's a great place to jump in for a fast one or to slowly bring things to a boil or to cap off the night. The sun set can also be seen from here, although not the final drop into the sea. read more

What a fun, Key West bar! My husband and I stopped here for drinks and a quick bite after coming back from a long boat ride.

If you want that rustic bar feeling this is a great place to come for a drink or two. Service wasn't bad. The conch fitters were nothing to talk about, fish dip was pretty good and portion was fair. I would recommend it as a "bar hop", and a "I've been there". read more

It's smells so bad around the main bar area. No toilet paper in women's stall. Been here maybe 7-10 times. Usually stay at the Hyatt and walk over as many do. I like live bands but also happy when the regular music comes on. Staff nice but can see some of them complain. This won't stop me from coming back but DAMN spray your bar down with vinegar couple times a day and it won't smell like dirty bar mats. When I bartended we used the big pump weed killer things filled with vinegar water and a dash of dawn soap to kill the smell fruit flies and rids the bees. read more

Excellent location on the marina. We stopped here as we brought our dog on vacation and they are dog friendly. We ended up eating here 2 nights on the weekend as we love the location, vibe, food and live music. If Rango is working, ask for her to be your server! She is excellent and made both dinners amazing!! We ordered fish tacos and sandwiches and were pretty happy with the food overall. The drinks, location, service and live music make this a must go to on the island. read more

My friends and I went here twice on the same day. The first time we bopped in for some afternoon drinks. We were waiting at the bar and a waitress came up to my friend and explained she could wait on us or we could order at the bar. My friend said we'd order through the bartender since we were planning to get our drinks to go. For whatever reason that really po'd the waitress and we got sassed about not letting her finish her spiel. We rolled up later in the day (on New Years Eve) and the place was bumpin. Somehow my friend found a table, which was a few seats shy of what we needed for our party. There was a table next to ours with four chairs and two guests. I'm not sure how other to explain what transpired after we asked to use their chairs than quite simply a grown man throwing a hissy fit. It was strange. That being said, our waiter was super nice, the band was awesome and everyone else around us seemed like they were down to have a great time. And the food we ordered was really good. You can't help how other people react. Maybe mercury was in retrograde or whatever people blame weird behavior on but it's just something to note if you ever find yourself at this bar. All in all, the location is great and so are the treats. read more

We stopped at Schooner Wharf Bar for dinner because of the great ratings, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype for us. The food just wasn't quite there -- some things were overcooked and others didn't have much flavor at all. The service was okay, but it felt a bit off, maybe just an off night for our server. The atmosphere itself was nice, but overall the experience wasn't what we hoped for. Not terrible, just not a place I'd go back to. read more

Stopped here with my mom for dinner after a boating excursion at the dock nearby! This is a super cute indoor/outdoor restaurant with a lovely tropical feel. When we first came in, it was unclear where to go to get a table as there was no hostess stand outside but a server directed us to sit wherever we liked. We sat outdoors which was nice because you can see the water. There's a bunch of tables outside with a large bar and a stage for live music. There were many fans around the tables to help cool you off so eating outside was very comfortable. There were also a few roosters walking around under the tables which was funny! Our server was Dylan and he was very friendly and helpful, he brought us extra drinks before we could even ask for refills! We started with the mozzarella sticks which were literally the best I've ever tasted (I'm from New York where there's no shortage of pizzerias with great mozzarella sticks)! They were nice and crispy on the outside with fluffy and delicious mozzarella on the inside, and they weren't greasy or oily which was great! Next we got some chips and salsa which was average, and then I finished off with a shrimp BLT and fries. The fries were cooked perfectly, very crispy and super yummy. The shrimp BLT was good as well, the shrimp was juicy and nicely grilled. Overall, we'd definitely be back. The restaurant is also located conveniently near a large parking lot where you pay by the hour, and nearby to some cute shops so it's a great area to check out! read more

Our first stop in Key West for lunch, and it did not disappoint! This IS a largely outdoor spot, so it will be warm, but our server was fabulous at keeping our water glasses full of cold cold water. She checked in on us regularly without being overwhelming, and our food arrived quickly! My wrap was excellent - pressed to give it a bit of crunch. It was absolutely LOADED with chicken. I definitely felt like I got my bang for my buck here. My lunch companions all really enjoyed their meals, too. This was a great first taste of Key West, we loved the location as well (right on the marina). This is one we will visit again on future trips! read more

We stopped in for some drinks at this quintessential KW dive bar on a lovely Monday afternoon. We couldn't snag a table right at the outer edge but one row in. Though later we moved to the edge when a table became free. Excellent people watching at the busy seaport area. After a bit of a rough start with our waitress who seemed torqued that we didn't know instantaneously what we wanted to drink (they have a nice selection of speciality drinks which needed some study) things smoothed out as the afternoon progressed. I tried their Jamaican Vacation drink which was both delicious and strong. That was followed up with their Mai Tai - also nice. Prices were reasonable for the location. We decided to stick around for an early dinner. I got the grilled mahi mahi sandwich and my wife got the grilled mahi mahi taco wrap - both were solid. This is not a fine dining spot so both met expectations. We also tried a slice of key lime pie - it was pretty pedestrian. If you want a typical KW experience stop here for a drink or two or three. read more

Loved this little hide away spot in Key West. The restaurant is right on the water and gives off a really fun/towny vibe. We got 4 dozen oysters and they were bomb great - You could totally tell they were fresh and right off the water. We also got the buffalo fried shrimp and... was not that great. The shrimp tasted like they had been defrosted in pool water and the breading was super soggy. Beers were cheap so that's always a plus! Also the band that was playing was great as well. Definitely a good spot for oysters and beers, not sure about anything else. read more

Schooner Wharf Bar - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

Schooner Wharf Bar is a pretty typical Key West bar a little off the beaten path, off a side road. We stopped in a little later than usual but still needed beverages and a bite. Its a really laid back place with floors that are a mixture of sand and broken up concrete and stone. They have a full bar with a good number of beers in tap, to include local brews as well. Service was pretty good and our drinks, appetizer and food all came out at the proper temperatures in a reasonable time. A music guy was setting up as we were leaving, so live music some (all?) nights. Pricing was about what you would expect in Key West, but not bad. read more

Stopped for an early lunch on a Monday. Was surprised to see double happy hour (before noon and 4-6). Waitress Jackie was friendly and very efficient :) I had a craving for chicken after eating too much "fried" food the last few days, so I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich. Asked for it without the bun and it was the perfect tenderness and flavor. Just what I needed! My husband ordered the blackened Mahi-mahi taco wrap and thought it was delicious. I had a Bloody Mary and thought it was sort of blah. Hubby ordered a vodk mojito w/well vodk thinking it was a part of happy hour, but it wasn't included. Just be sure to ask ahead on HH drinks. read more

This local bar is the best. Attentive workers, great atmosphere, great food and environment. We have been to several other locations around the area. I'm not a Dead Head but the live GD acoustic music played in the middle of a Wednesday afternoon was Really wonderful and brought back lots of memories. The large Drunken shrimp was the bomb and the fried shrimp was highly liked. Great colors on their shirts which are more opaic and less primary or pastel. Check it out. Not for a pretentious meal or small plate presentation on china plates . This is real Key West frontier read more

Somewhere between a 2 and a 3. I have been to Schooner numerous times, mostly when I have guests. They all seem to want to go here. If it's your first time in Key West or you haven't been here in many years, sure go try it. I understand its popularity; it's fun, it's located right on the marina, there's live music. I tried many of their menu items, but sadly, I haven't been really satisfied with any of the meals. Now I just stick to the appetizers. Try the nacho bean dip or the buffalo shrimp, those are usually pretty good. Service is usually friendly but kind of slow. It's not my favorite place to eat in the Keys. I recommend just get a drink and enjoy the dockside views and music. read more

People just Looove them some Schooner's, that's for sure, this place is always ridiculously busy. Me, not so much. To me, they're all right, they're okay. It's just one of those places to be and of the few places drink prices are actually reasonable in the Keys. I think I've been here at least half a dozen times in the last year, usually with friends who always want to make it a Mecca stop on their trip here. It's just not for me, I guess. Doesn't help the last drink I bought here sucked so much. A fetid Bloody Mary, that'll put a taste in your mouth. Bleh! Was probably a one off mistake but it's what they gave me. Anyway, the place does have a lot of character. And everyone's always been very friendly, which is nice. read more

ahi nachos. Fish tacos are my recommendations! Great menu and a-lot of food options. Amazing roof top. Great live music.

We went there for lunch yesterday. Although the ambience is great with live music, the food and service not so much. The food took WAY longer than it should to arrive- over half an hour. My husband had the clam chowder which he said, tasted more like cheese soup. I had a rather sad looking shrimp BLT which was delivered with fries even though I asked for coleslaw. The food was thrown into some Pieces of cardboard - the food was more snack bar food than restaurant food. Where we sat down there was broken glass on the floor. It was mid afternoon so they weren't super packed. With all of the choices you have in Key West I would give this one a miss. read more

We went a few times last week because the food and service was incredible!! The ahi tuna on the nachos was AMAZING. The raw oysters were some of the best we have ever had (and my husband loves oysters). We left another place one night to come have nightcap with another round of their oysters. Band was great. Sunset beautiful! read more

Never disappointed at Schooner wharf Bar. Seafood is always prepared perfect and the staff keeps a cold one at the ready.
