Schooner Wharf Bar

Live band, plenty of fans to keep the air moving, and good food.

Blackened red snapper with rice and steamed veggies. The rice was great! It had some lemon based sauce that made the dish. The snapper had a great seasoned crust but wasn't over cooked!

Also, the oysters were fresh and had plenty of meat. When you eat here you get what you pay for.

Wow, this is a must go to restaurant if you visit key west . The food was amazing , best bean dip I have ever had, was so good I automatically order bean dips at other restaurants when I come across them, and years later, Schooners Wharf still wins . During our Florida keys and Miami trip, we ordered key lime pie at every restaurant that week, and the key lime pie at this place is the best key lime pie I have ever tasted. It’s more sweet than most, perfectly balanced and creamy. I ordered 2 more for the trip back to Miami . The service was amazing , super friendly , the restaurant is open air seating , only thing inside is kitchen n bar if I remember correctly . We sat on the upper deck overlooking the bay and docks . Was a beautiful experience I will always remember. Every time someone mentions they are going to key west, I tell them the amazing story of my experience . If I am lucky enough to go back to key west, this is where I would eat again.

Our first night in Key West, We stopped in at Schooner Wharf Bar. They had a live band playing music. The atmosphere was casual and friendly.

The food was good. The Cajun fish wrap was very good. The fries were hot and crispy. The beverages were cold and refreshing. The food was solid. My only comment was that the live music was very loud. That aside, it was good.

Didn't get a chance to visit a few years back, but so glad we did this time around. The atmosphere is a perfect backyard party with live music and a nice cigar stand rolled by locals. No photos of all that, unfortunately, but did take a photo of the delicious food: Nacho Bean Dip - definitely get this over the order of Chips and Salsa - plenty portion, and the seasoning on the tortilla chips are tasty; and Jerk Chicken Sandwich with a side (I chose their slaw - fresh and not too watery or overly heavy on the sauce) - jerk seasoning wasn't too overwhelming, and the sauce on the side is reminiscent of Chick-fil-A sauce but less "saucy" or tangy. Overall, this spot is definitely a must to stop by if you're in town. Found it cool that if you catch a fish (or maybe other seafood at sea), you can have them cook it for you. Didn't see anyone do so but still a nice idea.

A wonderful wharf pub, outside seating, friendly laid-back atmosphere! Great music and good location. Stop by Franks magic bar, he was amazing!!

Such a CUTE place!! Primarily outdoor atmosphere with beautiful plants and trees providing shade.
Live band, passionate locals, and tropical vibin makes this a feel good place to go!

We had the conch fritters, which were pretty good.... good flavor, good sauce.

I had the blackened red snapper melt. I ate every bite lol. The flavor was prefect.
My husband got the fried Mahi melt, which was also wonderful.

We each had a cocktail. Mine was the Key West Mai Tai.

The live band absolutely made the atmosphere welcoming and authentic. We do hope to return before we leave.

This is a nice place to go, usually packed at night. Right next to the Marina so you have an amazing view!! Service needs a little improvement, very slow on getting drinks and taking your food orders. But that maybe because of staffing?? But great music as well.

Fresh oysters, great tuna nachos, beer selection was also great! 10/10
We also got clam chowder, it was meh 1/10 but that was the only thing that was bad so they still deserve high rating!

This place is an absolute gem and we are so happy we found it! We got married in February and honestly went here almost every day. The coconut shrimp was the BEST I ever had. The location is perfect and the live music is an absolute bonus. Everyone was friendly and drinks were perfect. When we go back we want to stay in Old Town again so we can be close to Schooner Warf 🖤

This is definitely my favorite place to eat, drink, and enjoy live entertainment. Lots of seating, staff is very friendly we were in key west for a week and visited this place more than once. The coconut dipped shrimp is the best shrimp!

If you come to Key West. You MOST def gotta check out this bar. It’s cool, local bar right on the water. Really cool spot if you wanna get away from all the Duvall Street madness and get some fresh local seafood. Did I mention happy hour every day 8am to Noon and again starting at five. My favorite place to hang out in Key West!

This is what Key West is all about. Great Food, Drinks and Live Entertainment! This location is sandwiched between William St. and the Historic Harbor Walk, along Key West Bight Marina. The open atmosphere of the historic area, along with the coming and going of boats from the Marina, coupled with the live entertainment and constant flow of people from both the street and the harbor walk, make this place a perfect people watching experience. The food is fresh and delicious. Lots of Fresh Seafood options, as well as non-seafood options. Service is decent, even when busy, seating is first come first serve, so if it’s open, you better grab it before it’s too late! Bar area as well as a second floor deck. Beverages are cold, food is delicious, entertainment no matter what direction you look, again what else could you possibly ask for?

Love this place...been coming here for 30 years. Had the red snapper grilled sandwich, done to perfection. Filet was twice the size of the bun and was delicious. Coleslaw was tasty and the happy hour Yuenglings were smooth. Live music was awesome. Sure miss the legendary Mike McCloud who played here for over 30 years. Still a great experience.

Our evening visit to the Schooner Wharf Bar in Key West was an absolute delight. The atmosphere is laid-back and quintessentially Key West, with a charming nautical theme that makes you feel right at home by the sea.

The live music was fantastic, adding a vibrant and lively backdrop to our evening. It was great to relax and enjoy some tunes while sipping on our drinks. Speaking of drinks, the bar offers a wide selection of cocktails, and the ones we tried were refreshing and perfectly mixed.

The food was another highlight. We ordered some seafood dishes, and they were fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The casual, open-air setting right by the water made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind with a drink, enjoy some live music, or savor delicious food, the Schooner Wharf Bar is a must-visit spot in Key West. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will definitely return on our next trip.

Cool place to hang out. It was a little hot but they have fans blowing everywhere. We had the seafood sampler and it was cooked just right.

Caille was great! Ordered a couple of drinks that weren’t perfect and she suggested a different drink that worked better and was delicious!! Ended up a strawberry margarita with Don Pueblos Blanco tequila. Really hit the spot and got us feeling great!!
We also had the smoked fish dip and was delicious with the jalapeños. Our favorite bar with live music. And by the harbor to see the boats.
Also, Caille’s eyelashes are amazing!!

I like this place. We come here every time we are in Key West. I like the bands and the food. The staff is always nice.

The music was fantastic, and the setting is wonderful. The drinks were a little strong for me, I may be a light weight. Our server was fantastic, she was even in a boot, but really downplaying it, making sure we were taken care of. She did a great job, and I really appreciate her, because I feel like we were accidentally annoying. Food was good, fresh, and exactly what you’re paying for. You want comfortable, solid food? This is the place to go. Fancy food? Probably go somewhere else. But I enjoyed my time, and so did my family. Thanks for a great afternoon, and thank you for making my first vacation since 2018 so special. I really appreciate it. I wish I could remember my server’s name to give her a shout out, hopefully this makes it to her. You’re really sweet and I hope you have the best year ever.

We went here on a whim and had a great time. The live music was fantastic, and you have to get the blackened red snapper- it was recommended to us by our server Mike and it was probably the best fish we’ve seriously ever had. Mike was also a great server with his recommendations and just all around. Highly recommend!

Karry served us. The food was great. We asked for some extra key lime mustard sauce to go with the conch fritters we ordered. This is where things got a little weird. Karry told us they don't have Key Lime Mustard sauce. Before I could explain she walked away and brought us some other sauce. I politely showed her the very first item on the menu is conch fritters with key lime mustard sauce. She got upset and said she's been there 5 years and never heard of key lime mustard sauce. She started cussing in front of our kiddo. She said she's normally a bar tender and just filling in as a server. I asked her to stop cussing in front of the kid. She said this is Key West. That's how people talk here. I don't think Key West would choose Karry as an ambassador and she shouldn't speak on behalf of all Key West. Everyone else we've met here is super laid back and friendly. She looked rough like life has put her through the ringer so I just said some nice things so she would simmer down. We paid the check and got out of there before Karry got any weirder about it. This is a really cool restaurant/bar with really good food. I still give it 5 stars because I'm no hater.
