    Ahi poke

    Since my first time 2008, Alonzo's is my favorite restaurant on the waterfront docks. Their happy hour is the best deal. my poke bowl was fresh and delicious! I'll be back again.

    Happy hour oysters

    Happy hour from 4-6 is the time for oysters!! We had one of the seafood towers and it was well worth it.

    Great cocktails

    Alonzo's Oyster Bar will always hold a special place in my heart. I first came here about two years ago on one of my very first dates with the love of my life, and the experience was unforgettable. Since then, I've returned again and again--and every single visit has been just as phenomenal. The food is always fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in Key West, and the service has never been anything short of exceptional. Most recently, I brought my entire family visiting from Wisconsin, and they were blown away. From start to finish, the dinner was incredible, and our waitress went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. Alonzo's has become not just a restaurant for me, but a tradition--one that I look forward to sharing with loved ones every time I'm in Key West. If you want amazing seafood, warm hospitality, and a memorable dining experience, this is the place.

    Bang Bang Shrimp tacos were excellent $9 at Happy Hour

    Excellent spot for happy hour while out-n-about shopping in the downtown area. They have a gorgeous view of the docks, multimillion $$$ Yachts, and there is a Tarpon feeding area as well. FYI - feeding time is at 4pm. We were greeted and promptly seated. Our server, Sabina, was very friendly and efficient. She kept our drinks topped off and was overall very attentive. We ordered three appetizers off the happy hour menu. We decided on the conch fritters ($9), the shrimp tacos ($9), and the warm crab and shrimp dip with chips ($11). Our food was out in 15 minutes, and most everything was freshly made. Conch fritters had great flavor but they were a little gummy and chewy for our taste. The dipping sauce was on the spicy side so that's something to be on the lookout for. The warm crab and shrimp dip was very good but also had a little spiciness to it, the chips were good but not freshly made or kept in a warmer before delivery; however, you do receive a lot of them. The shrimp tacos were our favorite if I were to do this all over again, I would have just ordered three sets of shrimp tacos, they were delicious. The restaurant has a modern nautical theme without being to overly nautical. We loved the view from the dock area and outside seating section near the back of the restaurant. The biggest issue I noticed while I was here was the restroom was not being attended to. There was a lot of water on the floor and areas where someone could slip there was also a full roll of toilet paper just laying on the floor in the stall. We were here for a while taking a break from the heat so I made two stops to the restroom during our visit and on both stops I noticed nothing had been cleaned or mopped up. All-in-all, it's a great spot for lunch or dinner, they fair pricing, an amazing view, friendly staff, ice cold beer and water.

    Wow. Cool place Right on the water We came here for happy hour around 4 pm Just in time for the tarpon feeding.! She said she feeds some little bits of Maui fish. Yum! We had the conch fritters.. My first time having them They were okay but not my favorite. Then we had the warm shrimp and crab dip With tortilla chips $11 so good! And you get a lot of it. We also had the bang bang shrimp tacos for $9 to get two of them. So good. And now we're stuffed so perfect amount of food. Friendly staff great atmosphere open air feel. Portions are great.

    I stopped in at Alonzo's Oyster Bar for happy hour. I got a table facing the marina. Great views but preferred the atmosphere at the conch republic sea food company next door. That aside, the prices for happy hour are unbeatable and the items on the happy hour menu are numerous. I stayed out with oysters, followed by conch fritters, and then ended with peel and eat local shrimp. The shrimp were steamed in a beer sauce which was a little on the salty side. Service was quick but not rushed and the waitress was very nice.

    We had a good time at Alonzo's ... just into Key West, walking the Key West Bight harbor area, watched the tarpon feeding out front, and viola, it's happy hour! Cocktails good, oysters good, mussels a bit spicy but good. Staff friendly and great! Fun place to stop for a cocktail, time it for the 4:00pm tarpon feeding! Recommend Alonzo's!

    What brought us in first was the perfect breeze blowing through their outdoor seating area! It was by far one of the best spots we ate outdoors at. The views are great and that breeze is sheer bliss on a hot summer day. We had the oysters and pretzels as nice little snacks and both hit the spot big time. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Definitely worth a stop.

    Lots of good things about this place. It's located within the Key West Historic Seaport near many other restaurants, bars and things to do. They have a lot of outdoor seating with views of the water. The interior and restrooms were both clean and not terribly outdated. We didn't have to wait for a table, got seated outside right away on a Saturday evening during Memorial Day weekend. Our waitress was very attentive & quick. Lobster roll & mahi ruben were both delicious and the fries are truly something special. We also had the shrimp and lobster dip which was pretty good but nothing to write home about and I could say the same about the conch fritters. Overall a good experience, I would recommend & might be back next time we're in town.

    Pretzels with beer cheese!

    Ate apps here before our sunset cruise. Candy was our server and she was very helpful! The food was good. Our favorite were the shrimp pizza, the buffalo shrimp and the pretzels with beer cheese! The restaurant was bustling with customers, but the vibe was pleasant!

    We chose Alonzo's because of the menu choices and location on the dock. After waiting about 20 minutes to be acknowledged by our server, I ordered the coconut shrimp which was delicious. My husband ordered the Avocado Crab salad which was very disappointing because there weren't any avocados. Just a huge pile of lettuce with a couple slices of tomato and cucumber and a few spoonfuls of crab meat. We notified the server and she said they were all out of avocados. The salad cost $26! We asked for a discount since one of the main ingredients was avocado. The manager gave us a $2 discount. No apologies or a visit. Very disappointing!

    Staff was very friendly and oysters were great. I think there is better ambience in KW, kind of dark, and happy hour menu left a lot to be desired. Fish dip was pretty good. Also had a key lime martini, which I would order again.

    This place is great. Right on the docks. The food is good. They have a variety of seafood towers. Our server was even feeding the pelicans. A definite must to eat for happy hour or dinner or whatever.

It's small , dark and cozy and the small tables with velvet chairs are very welcoming. We loved it so much. We came back for a second night. We tried the Maria Rita, which was a reposado tequila with fresh lemon, lime, hibiscus, and habanero, perfect version of a margarita. We also tried blowing smoke up your glass, this was made with Papa Pilar, dark rum, pineapple, fresh lime, house made basil syrup & tiki bitters. Absolutely fabulous. We also tried their deviled eggs each topped with unique toppings like trout row, bacon, and scallions. They were absolutely fabulous. They also have a great selection of charcuterie, Key nuts which you can order with different flavor, profiles, caviar, olives & peppers. Also, the most generous happy hour I've ever heard of from 12 to 6 PM every day. Don't miss out on this little jewel when in Key West.

There is a small bar with about 12 stools, a small lounge area with about 4 small seating nooks, and then a high top bench area that is along the wall. Service and set up of this place is not conducive to being able to attend to patrons. Could only order food if you were seated at the bar. We sat at the high tops and you had to go to the bar to get your drinks. Problem is that the bar has patrons sitting as well so you are hovering over them waiting for a drink. It was very uncomfortable to impose upon others to try to get a drink. I am sure they didn't appreciate the audience as they were eating as well. The bartenders were way too busy and overwhelmed. Not only are they serving the seated patrons and the 4 small nooks, they are also making drinks for the attached restaurant. There were a gazillion tickets coming out of the printer and servers standing on the other side of the window waiting. It's just not possible to serve everyone with just two bartenders. We waited about 10 minutes for service. The drinks were underwhelming for a speakeasy. Just your typical menu. What we ordered was okay. They just missed a great opportunity to create unique twists on classics or to have craft cocktails. Even the classics (which are perfect for a speakeasy) weren't that great. For a speakeasy, the drinks are the main event. Glad we tried it as we always seek out speakeasies. Wouldn't go again.
