Hot Tin Roof

Keys-style waterfront dining on Duval.

Tennessee Williams’ most famous play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, is the inspiration for our signature restaurant. Our menu is prepared in a unique culinary style dubbed conch-fusion, a mélange of tastes from Florida and the Caribbean creating the unique ‘Floribbean’ flavor.

Hot Tin Roof Restaurant

Hot Tin Roof offers gorgeous dining room and verandah starring spectacular sunset view over the harbor. Detailed teak woodwork and a hand painted ceiling bring a warm and romantic glow to this beautiful space. Hot Tin Roof is arguably the most popular restaurant in Key West, so reservations are recommended but not required.

Hot Tin Roof Lounge

The Lounge offers an innovative cocktail menu, many of which are influenced by the writings of Tennessee Williams and other local residents. Try our signature cocktail, the Hot Tin Tini, made with vodka infused fresh pineapple. Our Chef has created a fantastic menu of small plates to enjoy prior to joining us for dinner in the dining room. Though, many prefer the energetic vibe in the lounge for dinner as well. To be sure, this place has the best view of the “local wildlife” frolicking below at the Sunset Pier’s nightly sunset party. Hand painted murals by late local artist Jeff Beall create an exhilarating environment to visit with friends.
