While there’s no shortage of happy hours in Key West, the Historic Seaport area is the place to go for the happiest of hours for drinks, deals, delicious food specials, and waterfront views. Four of our favorites, close to our Key West Harbor Resort, are Half Shell Raw Bar, Conch Republic Seafood, White Tarpon Restaurant, and Alonzo’s Oyster Bar.

Half Shell Raw Bar

Wondering where you can find the best happy hour and raw oysters on the half shell in Key West? The answer is Half Shell Raw Bar, one of the best seafood restaurants on the island and a favorite amongst the locals and captains due to its location and proximity to the Key West commercial fishing fleet.

Half Shell Raw Bar

Daily Happy Hour Specials 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Enjoy raw oysters on the Half Shell, a bucket of steamed clams, or clams on the half shell. Just a few of our favorites during happy hour. Half Shell offers ½ off beer, house wine, and well drinks daily from 4:30 - 6:30 pm.
Why do people keep coming back to Half Shell Raw Bar? It’s the best oysters, shrimp, and seafood in town and exactly what Key West is all about, a casual, laid-back, friendly atmosphere, good food and drinks, and a great place to watch the boats arrive into the harbor after a day of fishing or water adventures.

One of our favorite Key West Happy Hour hot spots at the Seaport is Conch Republic Seafood Company. It’s the place to be and where all the action is taking place, especially around the happy hour as the boats head back in after a day at sea. “Lots of great memories hanging out at the bar after work with my friends drinking Rolling Rocks back in the day...ahh, I miss those carefree days in Key West... Long live the Conch Republic ~Steve Rodger

“Fun place to enjoy a cold beer, some good seafood, and great views of the marina. Had a very good time at the Conch Seafood House. Enjoyed the 2 for 1 happy hour and the food was pretty good too! Fun watching the fishing charters come in with their catch of the day. Very friendly crowd - had a great time there. We will be back again for sure!” ~

Located at A&B Marina at the Key West Historic Harbor is where you’ll find White Tarpon Restaurant and Bar. Is it the view, the food, or the Key Lime Martinis? The answer, my friends, is all of the above and home to one of the best happy hours in town.
“Excellent dockside seafood & all the people-watching you could possibly ask for. Excellence all around, as seen in the blackened grouper sandwich with bacon salt fries & citrus slaw. Plus half-off small plates/beer/ house wine & well drinks during happy hour, 4-6:30 daily at The White Tarpon. “ ~ Key West Insider Guide
