Many of us think of Happy Hour as the slow down part of the day, but in Key West it’s just the beginning of a fantastic evening.
It seems most Key West bars offer happy our drink specials, but only a few offer great food for even a better price during those hours just before the sun goes down and the lights of Duval St. go up.
Best Key West Happy Hours:
1. Alonzo’s Oyster Bar Happy Hour
700 Front St, Key West, FL 33040
Seafood lovers can have their fill in Key West. A choice of oyster varieties can be found at Alonzo’s Oyster Bar located down in the historic seaport area of Key West. They serve up the largest variety of cold and warm water oysters on the island.
Alonzo’s happy hour is one of the island favorites for locals and tourists alike. Indoor and outdoor seating offering you an amazing dining experience with Key West harbor views.
They even serve up fresh steam middle neck clams in an amazing garlic sherry broth. Offering local Key West pink shrimp and fresh catches, make sure you check out their happy hour to find some of your favorite seafood and drinks for a very happy price.
