Many restaurants encourage us to come in and visit by offering local deals and appreciation specials in Key West.
We are thankful for that and take advantage when able.
The following are some Key West local deals and 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.)
These deals are strictly for the locals.
Blackfin Bistro
A new Sunday Brunch recently began at Blackfin Bistro. It is on Sundays from 9-3 and features a menu with well-received selections.
All food on the brunch menu is 50% off for locals if you go early, from 9 to 11 (Sundays During Brunch Only). 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 enjoy the Breakfast Royale and Hangar Steak Eggs Benedict!
But seriously, how could anyone turn down the Wagyu burger (one of the islands’ best) at 50% off?
Winslow’s Bungalows
One of the Key West Historic Inns properties shows locals some love with 25% off food and drinks.
Swing by the Bungalow Bar. That is where they serve sandwiches, salads, cocktails, beer, wine, and more.
They open at 11 a.m. during the week and 9 a.m. on weekends.
If you like live music with your food and drinks, the Bungalow Bar at Winslow’s offers it on Thursdays and Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m.
Closing time is at 7 pm daily.
This local deal is an ongoing one. You will be able to enjoy it throughout the year.
Sunset Pier
Isn’t it the best when you find out that a Key West local deal is good for the whole year?
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 the occasional special event or concert.
This is something to cheer about! So cheers to you and them!
Sunset Pier features spectacular views, daily live music, and a close-up seat for the nightly sunset celebration; I will see you there!
Don’t forget your local ID!
Southernmost Beach Cafe
This is another local deal that continues throughout the year. Thank you, Southernmost Beach Cafe, for appreciating the local community.
Dine by the sand while looking out onto the water at the Southernmost Beach Cafe any time of day, and as a local, you can take 25% off food.
I’ve used this discount at breakfast and will return to try out other things that interest me. Perhaps you will find some that work out for you.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour are all represented at the Somo Beach Cafe.
The location is hard to beat, and the discount is a bonus.
Alonzo’s Oyster Bar
Alonzo’s offers one of our favorite local dining specials in Key West. They celebrate Keys residents monthly with Locals Appreciation Day.
Locals can receive 50% off food and drinks with a valid ID. This local discount is held on the First Tuesday of Most Months. ***(hearing not available in January or February this year 2025)***
Alonzo’s lunch and dinner menus are the same, and you can dine anytime they are open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. to take advantage of this offer.
There is something for everyone’s taste, ranging from fresh seafood to sandwiches, salads, pasta, and more. Leave room for dessert, as those choices are fantastic, too.
Make sure to leave a generous tip in return to show appreciation to the hard-working staff.
(we tip 20% on the whole amount before the discount)
*** Valid for up to four people per table. Offer does not apply to Stone Crab, Alaskan King Crab, or Seafood Towers. ***
