If Key West had an official living room, I think it might be Schooner Wharf.

There are few places anywhere in Florida that capture the spirit of Key West quite like this legendary spot. The atmosphere is exactly what people imagine when they dream about Key West.

We always stop here a couple of times when in Key West. This year we took our family for Thanksgiving dinner. It was an amazing experience.

Service can be a little slow at times, but it’s a busy place so just get a drink and enjoy the view.

We went for an evening walk and were drawn in by the live music — and we’re so glad we followed the sound. The band was absolutely fantastic and instantly set a great vibe. Despite the holidays, the place wasn’t overly crowded. We got a great table, enjoyed some lovely drinks, and the buffalo wings were outstanding — seriously delicious. We even had the chance to chat a bit with the band afterward, super nice and genuinely friendly people. What a wonderful evening. Great music, great food, great atmosphere. We loved it.
