The Best Bars in the Florida Keys | Eater Miami

"For a laid-back sunset cocktail with a waterfront view, Papa Joe’s is the perfect stop in the Upper Keys. Boaters can pull up onto the dock for a drink, and while the Tiki Bar is 21 and over, families and kids are welcome to enjoy the breezy, casual setting from the lawn or dining room. The menu here features island-inspired cocktails alongside fresh seafood and classic bar bites. Order a strawberry mezcal margarita or a frozen Pain in the A$$ (it’s a layered piña colada and rum runner) and watch as the sky changes colors over the water." - Amber Love Bond

I absolutely loved the food!!! I got the coconut shrimp as my appetizer and the Mahi Mahi and the Mac and Cheese, and it was amazingly scrumptious. If you want to order a desert that tickles your tastbuds, ask for the ice cream, and it will make you end with a bang! Our water was Will, and he was so nice and friendly. The atmosphere was calm and chill. There was corn hole, connect four, and a place for people to look into the water. Overall, I loved the place and would highly recommend.

Had a wonderful experience at Papa Joe’s Waterfront Restaurant. Such a peaceful spot with a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Our waitress, Heather, was incredibly polite and attentive. I had the Everglades-style mahi—absolutely exquisite. The menu has something for everyone—seafood lovers, beef dishes, vegetarian options, and even pasta. Great place all around! Everything from the service to the food was top-notch!

Hands down the best meal we had in The Keys. The Chicken Pesto pasta is out of this world good! Pork burnt ends were delicious too, they looked so good when they came out I forgot a pic. Amanda was a fantastic server & was very attentive. The green area downstairs is perfect for the wait, especially with kiddos. I’d definitely recommend eating dinner here to watch the sunset. Also the playlist was excellent!

My sister and I came to enjoy this beautiful restaurant. The service was excellent and the view was stunning. We ordered two dishes: the fish was delicious and had a generous portion. However, the meat dish was quite disappointing — the portion was surprisingly small, especially for $28. We realize the menu said it wasn’t a large portion, but we ordered quickly and missed that detail. Still, for that price, we expected something more balanced. Honestly, we’ve had $19 burgers with better meat and more complete sides. I’m attaching two photos so you can see the difference between the dishes. I hope this review helps improve future guests’ experiences and encourages the restaurant to consider adjustments.

We saved this as our last dinner of our vacation and glad we did! We ordered the El Jefe espresso martini, the calamari, and shared the grouper, brussel sprouts and Mac n cheese. Totally stellar. As folks from, Dallas, it can be tough to beat the cuisine. Papa Joe's did us right! We got the coconut crusted option on the grouper and it was definitely the right choice for this type of fish. Our waiter Chris also did a great job. Even though we went at the busiest time to watch the sunset, and we were able to get seated right away with a view. Definitely visit this spot! Please! 10 outta 10

The restaurant is beautiful, with a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. The best part is they have an outdoor area where kids can play while adults enjoy the view. The food was delicious, especially the oysters, which were fresh and perfectly prepared. I definitely recommend this place if you’re in Islamorada. We’ll be back soon!

Five stars across the board! On a quick three day trip we came to eat here twice. The service was excellent, and the dishes were insanely delicious. Highly recommend going just before sunset to catch the awesome view. Love the little outdoor games to play or just hang out and soak it all in.

I got the chicken pesto pasta and it was SO good, so filling! But the best part of the dinner was our waiter Sedric! He was genuinely so attentive to all of his tables, you can tell he takes pride in his work and truly loves it!! It was so refreshing to have such amazing service along side the beautiful view and delicious dinner. 10/10 would recommend.

Best f**king burrito, great music and service. Staff was great. The owner is super nice. The smash burger was a hit amongst my family. The burrito is amazing.

Just wanted to say thank you to the management and staff of Papa Joe's Waterfront for a lovely afternoon late lunch with the family. Was pleasantly greeted and seated by Brittany, who accommodated our party of 4 at the peak of lunch, on the South side patio overlooking the jetty and the bridge! Although, it was the hottest time of the day to be out, you simple cannot beat the stunning views. A huge shoutout to Sadrac, for his drink and food recommendations. The food was exceptional, everything we order came together perfectly. Highly recommend, coming to Papa Joe's for the amazing views, family fun and great food! Thank you to Sadrac, for being so accommodating especially to the kids who wanted to order ( specialty drinks kids drinks soda/with extra cherries). It's the little things, that stand out! Thank you again Papa Joe's for the warm hospitality.

One of the best meals I have ever had! Large portions(of fish). Beautiful views of the water and sunset( but it was raining the night we went) floor to ceiling windows. It's a new building but with a lot of history! Owner was vey nice! We will be back and you should check this place out. My meal was blackened grouper and loaded fingerling potatoes. Yum!

hands down the best experience of the keys for me. We spent several days in key west and while the drinking duval scene is not for me, where R&R in a private beach resort is my thing, the food there was so disappointing. Then we uncovered this place on the return leg home, and wow this made my entire holiday weekend. Not only was the food amazing... we both got fish and chips baskets with the guac and chips. great stuff and then had recommended to us the wings, but if you sit outside in the bar seating, its first come first serve, its dog friendly, and they have tons of variable seating from indoor ac spots, to outdoor tiki bar elevated over the water spots, to picnic table ground spots with cornhole for the kids and parking is free and not a problem. I strongly recommend this place, and it just makes you want to stay in Islamorada instead of going down to key west. This place gives you exactly what you asked for for the keys... a strong 100% stop. this will become our go-to everytime.

We were stuck in Memorial Day traffic heading back from Key West and decided we needed a break--so glad we ended up at Papa Joe's! We sat inside, but still had an awesome view of the water. The atmosphere was super relaxed and welcoming, with a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating. There's also an outdoor tiki bar overlooking the docks where we saw tons of boaters pulling in to grab food, plus a downstairs area with Adirondack chairs and cornhole. It has that perfect Keys vibe. Food-wise, the appetizers were the highlight. The calamari was excellent--crispy and fresh--and the local fish tataki (wahoo with pepper jam and lemon aioli) was incredible. Easily the best dish we had. We also tried the coconut shrimp tacos and the fish sandwich--both good, but the starters really stole the show. Wish we had a place like this in Delray Beach. Great food, great views, and such a cool spot to relax. Definitely a memorable stop and worth a visit if you're driving through the Keys.

Came here for dinner the other night and had an excellent meal. Started the meal off with the conch puppies which were super tasty. For entrees I got the full rack of ribs and my gf got the short rib special. Both were excellent but the short ribs were particularly good. I would come back just for those. We sat inside because outdoor seating was full. We still had pretty good views of the water and sunset without the bug bites. Service was great throughout the meal

Food was good, ambiance was great. My bf and I stopped by while in the area. It was a Sunday and the place was busy, but it's so spacious there was plenty of room without it feeling crowded. The restaurant is beautiful, still looks brand new and decorated nicely. We decided to eat outside overlooking the water. It was cool seeing so many people stop by arriving from boats. If you sit where we did by the bar you have to get up and order at the bar then you can go back to your seats, just a tip we didn't know until we asked. We ordered the chips and guac, the calamari and then the Costa Togo Bibb Salad to share. The three items were good. Not the best food I've had in my life but it was good, satisfying. The portions were good for the price. The bathrooms were small for such a big restaurant but they were clean so that was nice. Downstairs there was a big yard area to play games and hangout, the place itself is very cute and good for a place to spend some time it seems. I would recommend this place for the vibes, but I will have to try more items off the menu to see if there's something that stands out.

Super chill vibes and a great view. If you're looking to make a stop on your way to or from Key West- I would def recommended this spot. We had lunch outside at the bar overlooking the water- super peaceful and a great way to end the trip. Service was a bit slow but friendly. We ordered the fried pickles and fish dip to start. The fried pickles were great. The fish dip was not your traditional fish dip- it was super fresh with chunks of fish. We both ordered a burger. My burger was topped with an onion ring and came with bacon jam. The burger was overall good, but a little salty.

I would go there for lunch, downstairs or the tiki bar. I thought the food was good, the waiter was nice and knew the menu. Even the service staff was great...at first. We got our food and were eating and right about the 25 minute mark it was like a swarm....every couple minutes they'd come by and try and take our plates. We even said please stop. It continued and continued. Eventually we gave up but it was like standing water for mosquitos. I won't step foot upstairs again until they go through some extra training and learn SA etiquette. Just seemed out of place for a keys atmosphere. Especially when you're spending about 800 dollars on a dinner group. On a food note: The coconut crusted grouper was great. The pork belly was great. The calamari marinara is a little spicy but I like spice. The surf and turf stir fry was phenomenal according to my wife. The strawberry mezcal was also not overdone with syrup. Again it would be a 5 star if it were not for the mosquito SAs.

Love this place! Great ambiance, beautiful scenery, and excellent food! Service is also amazing! We did not realize how hot it was going to be on the patio and our server offered to bring us inside without us saying anything and was just overall just so sweet and helpful. I had the Oscar style snapper, my husband had a Caesar salad and sweet potato fries, and my son had a chicken fingers and fries. We also had a few mocktails. They have a super fun area downtown stairs overlooking the water with games as well. Great place to bring your family or a group for a fun night out!

On our way to Mimi we made a stop at this location that was renovated. They have an incredible location and the view toward the water are spectacular. You can tell they invested money and time in the renovation. We only stopped for a drink and an appetizer. We did not each much. The conch fritters were too but could be more crispier. They have a sauce that makes it soggy. I had a piña colada be my husband order a beer. This is a great place for a sunset afternoon and drinks with friends. They have picnic tables, outdoor games and a small marina for boats.

What a fun place to have lunch at! You can dine by the water or overlooking the water. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The drive there can be a bit much if there is congestion or traffic, but on the day I went it was smooth driving. The menu offers a lot to pick from, but I highly recommend the guacamole. Instead of coming with tortilla chips it comes with plantain chips and yuca fritz. This small change makes the appetizer ten times better. I also tried their fried fish basket and found it to be delicious and tasted fresh. They offer plenty of games likes Jenga, Connect Four, and corn hole. I love this spot for a summer lunch spot. Family friendly and dog friendly. I also really loved that the outdoor seating has a roof so it did not feel overly hot.

One of our FAVORITE restaurants in Islamorada! The location, restaurant itself is gorgeous, food, cocktails and wait staff AMAZING!!! Best Pina colada in the Keys! Daily specials are never a disappointment. Ordered the Blackened Black Grouper and the Everglades made its Golden Tile always a staple when visiting. Caesar Salad always delicious. Amanda, our server was very sweet and on top of our visit the entire time.

My favorite restaurant on our trip to the keys - was the start of our "Islamorada day". Came for lunch, soaked in the ocean views with those floor to ceiling windows. Despite being a proper keys bar, the place was so clean and spotless. Our server was the friendliest guy ever. We both enjoyed our lunch - fish tacos, burrata salad with grilled shrimp, and we split some stone crab. Certainly pricey, but was expected for the food quality and ambience. Definitely keeping on the itinerary for the next trip.

Oh wow, I had the sweetest little dining experience at Papa Joe's Waterfront Restaurant in the Florida Keys this weekend, and it was pure bliss. The waterfront views were stunning, especially with the sunset painting the sky, and the vibe was so laid-back and fun. We indulged in the buffalo crawfish dip--spicy and delicious with a creamy kick--the shrimp cocktail, which was fresh and perfectly chilled, and the pork belly burnt ends that melted in my mouth with that smoky-sweet flavor. The service was super sweet, and sitting by the water with my girls made it a total treat--I can't wait to come back!

What a lovely restaurant. The service was very friendly and the food was fantastic. Perfect food presentation, flavor and tasty dishes. I ordered the blackened shrimp tacos (excellent flavor and just the perfect amount of shrimps) with sweet potatoes and as for a drink I ordered the lychee martini. (Enjoyed my refreshing cocktail) The restaurant had a very welcoming venue. The inside area has plenty of tables at the outdoors area, on the second floor there are tables and also a bar area. It's a great place for family, friends and even dogs are welcomed. It also has a beautiful view of the water. The also hospitality of thetables, the staff were impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant for an incredible dining experience . Great music and plenty of parking available.

Besty trip and decided to stop for lunch. 1st off this place is beautiful! From the restaurant area to the patio (which is huge) to even the bathrooms, this place is immaculate!! We ordered the crab cakes, Brussel sprouts, the shrimp tacos and the "locals only- fish dip. OH MY GOD! Sooo good!! I ordered a strawberry mescal Rita and the cucumber drink and both blew my mind! Sooo good again! Then to service. Our bartender Angelina is nothing short of AN ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR!! She is so knowledgeable about the food and drinks on the menu. If she suggests it, you should really listen to her! She was so knowledgeable about everything including the keys!! Anyways if you're down here, make it a point to stop by, ask for Angelina and come hungry!! Just sayin.... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.. You're welcome..

Absolutely top.notch place. You can tell from the moment you walk inside a lot of thought was pit into the decor. The service was super, but I will say the people that clear the tables need to back off. Please have them come when they can see we are done with the meal not 3 times before. The tiki bar is awesome. The food is amazing, I think this place is our second favorite. We will definitely come back. I had the ribs which were yummy with a side of Mac and cheese. Hubby had the snapper with the succatash which was absolutely delicious. We had the cervechi as an app and oh wow I loved it. You all, don't go to lazy days and waste your money. Go to papa Joe if you want a great meal.

This place has been closed for 19 years and finally reopened Service, food,cocktails, and views have all returned to this familiar spot. Your greeted by a hostess with the option of in or outdoor seating. Outdoor seating has a bar overlooking the bay and ocean. Inside the space is huge and a TV screen shows old pictures of the original structure. Still nautical decor inside and everything is just updated and new. We started with the crab and shrimp rangoon which was absolutely tasty with a hit of spice. For pur main I had a pomegranate cocktail that was refreshing along with the blackened shrimp tacos (which I opted for onion rings instead of fries) that were seasoned to perfection. He had the blackened fish sandwich on brioche bread. Didn't leave a bite of anything. The servers were so attentive and on point with everything. We definitely saw the team effort too. So glad to see this place back and running. Gotta stop here and eat and check the views on any of your trips to the Keys.

Papa Joe's is somewhat bougie hence the food portions and presentation. So expect the expected when it comes to pricing. We got the baked oysters, gator bites, dumplings special, New York strip, and blackened mahi mahi. All were very enjoyable.

We have been to Papa Joe's a few times and really loved it until last night. We arrived at 4:50pm. Dinner service begins at 5pm. There was a hostess at the door and we asked if we could sit at the inside bar. She said no problem and mentioned dinner menu isn't available until 5pm but you may have drinks until then. Bartender also said the same. There was another couple already at the bar with drinks so it didn't seem to be a problem until the manager decided to walk by us and make it a point to stop and snarl and scold us like children by rudely saying dinner doesn't start until 5 and gave us the nastiest look and walked away. We left after that interaction and will not be back and this review will be posted wherever I can post it. That manager needs a lesson in customer service and manners.

Great food with a beautiful view :) The mood is relaxed with the waterfront breeze and the seafood is fresh. Yummy oysters and daily specials. Their desserts are. A+++ This coming from a key lime pie and chocolate tart connoisseur! Papa Joe's vibe is chill with live music and the legit Florida Keys feels. A definite must if you are in the area or are planning a drive down south to Key West.

Food was pretty good! On the pricey side $$$, but very well worth it! (What's not pricey anymore in the keys). They view is by far the best in the Florida Keys. Vibes are great.... Sit down, enjoy the courtyard or go upstairs to the tiki bar. The views are amazing at every angle of this place! Come see for yourself

Stopped here on our way to Key West, great vibe, great service and food was very tasty. We had the gator bites, tri-colored sweet potato fries, blackened shrimp tacos, tempura battered shrimp tacos, chicken burrito and grilled shrimp house salad. The only miss was the tempura shrimp, the batter was way too thick. Key lime pie was also a tasty treat at the end. Make sure you check out the outdoor area, where you can hang by the dock or play some lawn games. Will stop here on our way out of the Keys as well

The ONLY reason it gets a two is because my husbands burger was so good. The wait staff was rude and once I got through my steak it dawned on me she never brought my side. Everytime I asked for anything I got a side eye so I just said whatever. Wouldn't even attempt to try and order the key lime pie because I was ready to go.

Solid food. Chicken sandwich tasted good, but got very sloppy quickly. Fish tacos tasted great, but legitimately had the smallest taco shells I've ever seen. Good service and great views. Also cool spot with cornhole. Probably good for events.

What an adorable little waterfront spot! Came here to have some lunch before heading back home and went down to the tiki area. There's corn hole and a bunch of games for kids and plenty of picnic tables for eating. You order up at the bar or at kiosks located under the deck and they have a good variety of food! They give you a number and you take it to your table. The servers will come around and bring your food and clean up! We got the Cobb salad with chicken and the coconut shrimp tacos. So good! Amazingly cooked and prepared. We also ordered a peanut butter chocolate cheesecake and guava cheesecake and they did not disappoint. We can't wait to come back!!

Absolutely obsessed with this place. The ambience is such a vibe--especially outside. It's beautiful, relaxing, and the games just make it even more fun. The food was super tastyy. Compliments to the chef! The bathrooms were clean, the whole space just feels cared for, and the entire staff was respectful. But the real star of our visit was JD, our server. He was AMAZING in every single way. Hands down the best server I've ever had--at any restaurant. It was my mom's birthday, and not only did he make her feel so special (regardless of the language barrier, as she speaks Spanish), but he even surprised her with a personal birthday cake on him. Who does that?! JD is the definition of excellent customer service. So kind, charismatic, enthusiastic, and thoughtful. He answered every question with such grace and energy. Just a great human being all around. I HAD to highlight JD in our experience because my entire family was extremely pleased with him. Wishing him nothing but the absolute best!!!!!! Also, huge shoutout to the team members bussing tables--we didn't catch their names, but they were incredibly sweet too. You can just feel the good energy here. This place really won us over. My family and I already decided we're making it our new go-to weekend spot. Total hidden gem.

Newly opened restaurant bar opened in Islamorada on the bay. If you have a boat there is access for you to come and dock and if you drive here there is private parking lot. Very nicely decorated place with a relax keys vibe. Food here moderately priced and very tasty. Bar is well supplied with top shelf and local tap. Service was on point and very friendly as well as attentive. Recommend a visit when in the area. Will definitely return.

Well the long awaited Papa Joes is now open, and what an amazing place it is. The proprietor is an energetic young man, with a dream come true. I am. Sure this place will be around for generations to come, and be a part of my family's and many others memories to cherish in the decades to come... This Charlie was here for the first day of this sure to be iconic destination. I was the first bar customer, and believe I had the first bar order for food which was amazing. Jessica took care of me like a seasoned professional bartender. I think I witnessed the smoothest opening day for a restaurant ever. Ambiance is incredible! Congratulations to you Charlie, and all involved... We will see you all for dinner...

My husband and I enjoyed the sunset view by the water while sipping drinks from the bar. The outdoor downstairs section was really cute and family friendly- picnic style benches and other seating around an area with cornhole boards was a fun atmosphere. Inside the restaurant was a bit noisy but the energy was upbeat and friendly and the food was good. Would definitely return for a casual evening next time I'm in the area.

We were excited to visit the "new" Papa Joe's! It is beautiful and the food and service were excellent. The fish was so fresh! We were able to dock our boat which was a huge plus! We are so thankful you rebuilt! We have so many fond memories over the years.

The view is worth a visit, the food is fantastic and so are the drinks!! However the service is amazing!! This is a clean fun restaurant. Yes it used to be a small shack style restaurant and held many memories for families but the owners have renovated and made this a destination for new memories and new patrons along with those that have been coming for years!! We will back for sure and I hope soon!! Jenga, tic tax toe and corn hole games to play so cute on the lighted patio If you're lucky enough to get Paula as a server then you will be the luckiest patron in the place, kind sweet lady with a positive spirit!!

Just had lunch here with a large group and they were so accomodating. The food came out very fast and it was all so good. Appetizers were ordered were fish dip, tuna nachos, guac and chips and calamari and none of them disappointed. I ordered the lobster bisque and I did not love it and it was not very hot would not recommend. For lunch I ordered the chopped wedge salad with blackened grilled shrimp and it was excellent. We got key lime pie for dessert and I was not a big fan of this green jelly stuff they put on it so I would not order that again. The service was excellent overall.
