Schooner Wharf Bar - Bar & grill in Key West - 202 William St, USA

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.

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 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!

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?

Warning!!! They are NOT JIMMY BUFFETT FANS. Don't expect songs.!!! Very unfortunate visit to Schooner Wharf Bar !!! :( To begin we arrived the place and is sefl seating as usual so we set right in front of the stage, We drove for this trip abou 8 hours to Key West the day after Jimmy Buffett passed because this was the place he started and I thought this will be the best place to pay my respects and celebrate his life and music. This is my second chance I gave this place before my this review. My first visit about a year ago, they took soooooo long to fulfill my order that I had to finish my food in 10 minutes before I caught my transportation back to the continent. I thought that they were probably getting ready before covid, and I understood. UNFORTUNATE we came back today again because we liked the Wharf atmosphere, but it was a disaster from the beginning. As soon as we sat, Jaimie arrived very graciously and took our order. She was the only good part of this experience, and that is why I give 2 stars. After we order I asked the singers in stage if you could sing a song on Jimmy Buffett as respect and to commemorate his death and he answered " WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT DOSEN'T PLAY" Jimmy Buffett in the island. I thought that was really out of place and sad, taking into consideration that we just passed a day ago and he brought to Key West a lot of great memories, recognition, and revenue. After that, things just got sawer. I waited 30 minutes for an order of oyster that never arrived, even though Jaimie spoke to the food manager, but probably he just doesn't care about customer service. ( second time this happens) After that we just paid our bill. But I will probably never come back here. Ps. Every place in Key West was honoring and respecting his dead.

SMOKE HOUSE ! In spite of being mostly open space, this place felt like a closed room of World Cheap Cigarette Conferance! I had real high hopes following the reviews but nothing was even close to those reviews. Starting from the entrance to this place, it passed through their side door where they were taking out trash to welcome their customers. We ordered jerk chicken sandwich which was supposed to be marinated in ‘island spices’ . It tasted like nothing. Nope, not even salt ..sorry it tasted like raw onion. Yes, we were gifted with a 1 inch thick slick of onion in the sandwich .The fries with it were ok. But how can a restaurant give bad soda !?! The server gave us our soda good 20 min before the stale food arrived .. by the time I wanted a sip, I had to play guessing game to distinguish my water glass from my soda. Please have mercy on yourself and don’t go here. 🙏🏻

Okay, been seasonal residents in Key West for years. Why we haven't come to the Schooner Wharf Bar more often, I do not know. Dog friendly and wonderful entertainment, especially Raven Cooper. Our server Emily O. was beyond fantastic (she deserves kudos, if you are listening). Charming, friendly, and efficient. Even though she was busy with too many tables, she kept checking on us to make sure we were all set. She really was the best! Keep it up. We intend to come back and back and back!

We had 25 people with us and walked in unannounced the night of 10/6/23 and we were immediately greeted warmly and made to feel so welcome! RANGO was our server and she took care of all of us like no other! She and the rest of the staff did such a great job making sure we were all having such a great time! Drinks were always full and we were constantly being taken care of. Thank you RANGO and the rest of the staff for an amazing experience!
