Two Friends Patio Restaurant & Bar brings historic Key West dining, local seafood, breakfast favorites, live music, karaoke, cocktails, and open-air patio seating to 512 Front Street in Old Town Key West. Known as one of the island’s classic gathering places, Two Friends traces its roots to a saloon at this Front Street address before the Great Fire of 1886 and remains a lively stop for visitors looking for food, music, and Old Key West character near the Historic Seaport and Mallory Square area.
The menu features fresh Florida Keys seafood, shrimp, fish, lobster, oysters, conch, crab, char-grilled steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and the restaurant’s famous Basin Street Broiled Oysters. Guests can also enjoy award-winning Bloody Marys, specialty drinks, beer, wine, and casual bar favorites in a relaxed covered patio setting.
Breakfast is served daily beginning at 8:00 am, making Two Friends a popular morning stop for classic American breakfast plates, Key West-style favorites, and live music to start the day. Lunch runs into the afternoon, followed by dinner service from 4:00 pm to close.
Live music is offered seven days a week from morning until closing, with local performers creating a steady island soundtrack throughout breakfast, lunch, dinner, and evening drinks. Every Friday and Saturday night at 8:00 pm, the patio becomes a lively Key West karaoke destination.
Happy hour is offered daily from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm with drink specials and a casual patio atmosphere. For visitors looking for seafood, breakfast, cocktails, live music, and a historic Key West restaurant experience, Two Friends Patio Restaurant & Bar remains one of Front Street’s signature stops.
