Santiago's Bodega Key West offers tapas-style dishes along with soups, salads, wine and sangria in a casual dining atmosphere. The olive and terracotta walls, artwork, and soft warm lighting create intimacy and style, while the mix-and-match small plate menu fits individual appetites, tastes, and budgets and encourages convivial exploration and sharing. Much like the original Spanish tapas bars, Santiago's Bodega Key West is a place to socialize over good wine and interesting treats. Combine a decadent warm camembert topped with sautéed garlic, onions, almonds, apricots, dates, and bell peppers with a refreshing ceviche mix of yellowfin tuna, mango, and avocado. Or pair a cold refreshing glass of sangria with some exotic spiced lamb patties. Enjoy delicious, creative food in bite-size pieces and at pint-size prices. The wine list is eclectic because Santiago’s draws on the resources of boutique distributors to emphasize lesser-known labels, varietals, and regions.
The word is out around Key West, and diners can’t get enough of Santiago's Bodega Key West's daily 3-6 pm happy hour with its $5 food specials, half-price sangria and beer, and $10 discount on bottles of wine. Drawing crowds that necessitated a recent expansion to double its former size, Santiago's Bodega Key West fills an important Key West niche as an affordable destination for food-savvy folks.
