Slow down, partner; keep your pants on! In Key West, bottomless might mean any number of things — for now, let’s focus on the bottomless mimosas that come with delicious brunches. Only a handful of establishments offer the unending version of the fruity bubbly happiness that comes with your eggs Benny, crepes, or waffles. Some places have the audacity to charge you for the second one, an unwelcome surprise if you happen to be in the mood for more happiness. And who doesn’t want more happiness?
To save you the unpleasant surprise, I’ve collected a list of the best bottomless brunch spots in Key West. So treat yourself: Brunch isn’t just for a rainy day in Key West, and you don’t even have to save it for Sundays.
Key West Bottomless Brunch Culture
If ever there was a place to embibe in a bottomless escapade, it’s Key West. But, again, let’s forget about what happened last night on Duval and focus on the brunch-time mimosas.
We’re all familiar with the typical Sunday brunch setup — and there are plenty of great breakfasts in Key West, by the way. Whether your pleasure is waffles à la Leslie Knope or eggs Benedict, Key West puts unmistakable spins on the best reasons to get up on a Sunday morning. Strawberries and cream are passé here; better top that golden-brown, delicious honeycombed batter with coconut and pineapple compote. And the best Bennies on the island feature not Canadian bacon but fresh local lobster.
That’s all fine and good, but you’ve got to wash it down. Mimosas, that wonderfully bubbly OJ with just the right alcoholic kick for an early (i.e., before 2 pm) weekend morning, are the perfect accompaniment. The problem is that most mimosas are disappointingly small. The solution, obviously, is a refill. Or, better yet, 23 refills. But you don’t want to pay for 23 refills, so you find a place with a no-limits bottomless mimosa deal.
Best Bottomless Mimosa Key West Has to Offer
Of course, Key West is the best place on the planet to try a bottomless mimosa brunch. Here, it’s not a problem to stumble home after brunch. Heck, it’s expected. Anything less is an insult to the chef.
Here are the best spots on the island to try. Just remember, if you choose an establishment that doesn’t offer a bottomless brunch, taking your pants off does not make it the same thing.
The Perry Hotel
7001 Shrimp Rd., Key West, Florida 33040 (Stock Island)
Brunch at the Perry Hotel is the kind of experience that starts classy and ends with you giving heartfelt toasts to strangers because the mimosas are bottomless and your self-control is not. The food comes out looking like it was plated by someone who truly believes in your potential, even if you don’t.
Meanwhile, the waterfront breeze tricks you into thinking you’re in a luxury lifestyle commercial where your only job is “drink more orange-flavored champagne.” By the third or fourth mimosa, everything feels achievable — new friendships, bold plans, possibly buying a boat and sailing into the sunset. It’s all sunshine, bubbles, and blissfully questionable decisions at The Perry.
Brunch is served on both Saturday and Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm at Matt’s Stock Island Kitchen, and it’s just one of the great things you can do while visiting The Perry. Reservations are recommended for this one. There’s indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the marina. It’s the perfect spot for a big group or even a Sunday brunch date. For $26 a person, you get your pick of small plates and can stay up to two hours. Drink quick!
Island Dogs Bar
505 Front Street, Key West, Florida, 33040
If it’s the middle of the week and you wish you could find breakfast, this should be your go-to. You show up thinking you’ll have “just one,” and suddenly you’re passionately discussing life goals with a Key West rooster strolling by. The staff keeps the champagne flowing with the enthusiasm of people who know this is the highlight of your day.
And the food? It hits that perfect vacation sweet spot — comforting enough to cure last night, but still fancy enough to post online. By your fourth refill, you’re convinced you’ve become an honorary island local, ready to adopt a stray dog, buy a scooter, and toast to every passing stranger.
The place has just the right casual bar vibe. Not only are the mimosas bottomless, but they have a variety of flavors — plus a slew of other breakfast cocktails to pick from.
The Saint Hotel
417 Eaton St, Key West, FL 33040
Sunday Brunch at The Saint is a divine experience where bottomless mimosas flow with the kind of generosity usually reserved for spiritual awakenings. You walk in feeling mildly mortal; one sip later, you’re convinced you’ve ascended. It’s chic enough to make you sit up straighter, yet Keysy enough that no one judges your enthusiastic relationship with champagne. The food arrives looking like it was crafted by angels who used to work in luxury hotels.
Brunch here is a small plates affair ($55 per person), and you can opt in to bottomless mimosas for another $15. Seatings are at 10 am and 12:30 pm, and you bet reservations are required!
Hot Tin Roof
0 Duval Street, Key West, Florida 33040
Brunch at Ocean Key’s Hot Tin Roof is where bottomless mimosas collide with ocean views to create a dangerously confident version of you. You sit down thinking you’ll behave, but the staff keeps filling your glass like the tides fill Key West Harbor below. The food is ‘Gram-worthy, and the waterfront breeze whispers encouragement for every questionable decision you’re considering. By mimosa three (or five, who’s counting?), you’re a fully enlightened brunch enthusiast, ready to conquer the day — or at least order dessert.
Like other spots, it’s a fixed price for all you can eat or drink. Hot Tin Roof is open for breakfast every day at 8 am, with extra hours for Sunday brunch until 12:45 pm. You gotta have a reservation for a view like this, but on the bright side, it’s the perfect spot for a celebration or special treat.
Ocean Grill & Bar
1075 Duval Street, Key West, Florida 3304
Brunch at The Ocean Grill is where bottomless mimosas meet the island lifestyle that’s usually reserved for sea captains and very tan retirees. Add in ocean breezes and the distant cry of a gull judging your decisions, and by mimosa number five, you’ve got yourself a local phone number and are browsing Zillow for an island home. The food menu is long and interesting, like Hemingway on a good day, with plenty to fill your belly: all the Benedicts and omelets you could dream up, sandwiches, and salads, too.
One Google reviewer summed up the Ocean Grill’s brunch better than I can, especially since they shouted: “BRUNCH WAS AMAZING! Bottomless MIMOSAS! FOOD WAS AMAZING! Roosters were a bonus.”
Breakfast and brunch run seven days a week from 10 am to 3 pm, so it’s a great pick if you (accidentally) didn’t get out of bed until the afternoon but still want brunch. The bottomless-ness extends to the bloody marys as well, your choice for $7.95. Despite the name, it’s not on the ocean, but it does have a nice patio.
