If you’ve ever wished your Key West tab came with a discount—or that the bartender remembered your name by the second round—there’s a good chance you’ve heard whispers about the Key West Bar Card. But here's the twist: it's not just one card.
Despite the name, the folks behind the Key West Bar Card actually offer three different VIP-style cards:
- The Bar Card (for drink lovers)
- The Restaurant Card (for foodies)
- The Backstage Pass (for all-access locals and diehards)
Confused? Don't be. I’ve broken it all down for you, island-style. 🍹🍽🎶
🍹 1. The Key West Bar Card – The Original & Most Legendary
This is the OG. Since 2010, the Key West Bar Card has been the go-to for anyone wanting to enjoy a buy one, get one free drink every day at 17 of the island’s best bars.
Yes, you read that right: free drinks, daily.
How it works:
- Buy any drink at a participating location (outside of happy hour), and your second drink is on the house—up to $10 value.
- One use per bar, per day—so you can technically hit every bar on the list, every single day.
- Card is valid all year.
- Cost: $20 (worth every penny by lunchtime)
Participating Bars:
💡 KeyWestTed’s Take: This card pays for itself after two rounds. Pair it with a little live music and you've got yourself a perfect island afternoon.
🍽 2. The Key West Restaurant Card – For the Hungry Explorer
Drinks are fun, but you’ve got to eat too. The Restaurant Card gets you 10% off your meal at select Key West eateries.
Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner or grabbing a casual bite, this card has you covered.
How it works:
- Show your card at participating restaurants for 10% off your meal (cardholder only).
- Works for lunch, dinner, and everything in between.
- Use once per restaurant (but hey, it’s a small island—you’ll cycle through again soon).
- Cost: $15 or bundled with the Bar Card for $27.
💡 KeyWestTed’s Tip: Great for couples or families looking to shave a few bucks off every meal. It’s an easy way to stretch your Key West budget without sacrificing flavor.

🎭 3. The Backstage Pass – For the Experience Lover
Looking for 15% off tours, rentals, and entertainment? This is your VIP pass to island activities beyond the bar stool.
From jet skis and snorkeling to parasailing and bike rentals, the Backstage Pass helps you explore the island for less.
How it works:
- Show your card to participating vendors and get 15% off excursions, tours, and rentals.
- Use it for local adventures that might normally be a splurge.
- Cost: $15, or bundle with the Restaurant Card.
💡 KeyWestTed’s Take: If you’re the “I want to do it all” type, this one’s for you. Think of it as the adventure half of your Key West itinerary.

Final Thoughts from Key West Ted 🐓
These aren’t your typical tourist coupons—they’re legit local-approved deals that even Conchs use. Whether you’re visiting for a long weekend or settling in for the season, these cards make exploring Key West more affordable and way more fun.
So grab a Bar Card, Restaurant Card, or Backstage Pass (or better yet—all three), and start living your best island life.
One rule though: don’t forget to tip like you’re paying full price—our hardworking bartenders and servers deserve it.
Until then…
