BOAT HOUSE KEY WEST – Restaurant

The Boat House Bar and Grill works the dockside at the Key West Historic Seaport on Margaret Street: open-air, casual, and busiest the moment happy hour starts. Readers of the local Keys Weekly named it best happy hour in their Bubba Awards in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the daily four to six-thirty run of half-price small plates explains the scramble for tables. The kitchen stays coastal, with conch chowder, coconut shrimp, Key West pink shrimp, yellowtail snapper, mahi mahi, grouper and lobster, plus short ribs for landlubbers and key lime pie. Walk in early. Watch the boats come in.
