Many restaurants and bars encourage us to come in and visit by offering local deals and appreciation specials while dining in Key West.
We are thankful for that and take advantage when able.
The following are some Key West local deals and dining specials we have seen and are aware of.
(As always, reach out if you know of any deals not on this list that should be added. Thank you.)

All food on the brunch menu is 50% off for locals who arrive between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. (Sundays Only During Brunch). They kindly ask you to have your local ID ready to show.
Enjoy Blackfin’s fabulous new menu featuring your soon-to-be favorite Sunday Brunch items. We enjoyed the Breakfast Royale and Hanger Steak Eggs Benedict!
But seriously, how could anyone turn down the Wagyu burger (one of the island’s best) at 50% off?

The 25% local discount is a great incentive to sample your favorites from their menu and maybe even try something new.
How about treating yourself to one of their tequila flights? Or upgrade to a premium bottle of wine for that special occasion.
This could be the perfect time to explore Milagro’s offerings with your local discount.

Sunset Pier is very generous and appreciative of the local support it receives. In return, it is giving back a bit of that local love with 25% off food and drinks throughout the year.
The only exceptions would occur when there is an occasional special event or concert.
