Inscription.
A&B Lobster House was founded in 1947 by two fishermen, Alonzo Cothron and Berlin Felton, thus the name A&B. The pair were featured in Life Magazine and established a reputation for outstanding seafood fine dining — a tradition carried on to this day.

Alonzo’s Oyster Bar is located downstairs on the waterfront and is open 7 days a week. Alonzo's offers a more casual atmosphere with outstanding fresh seafood and the largest selection of oysters in Key West.

The A&B Lobster House and Berlin’s are located upstairs on the waterfront and offer a fine dining atmosphere. Berlin's, a private enclave of the fine dining establishment, has the feel of a vintage speakeasy, serving fine liquors and elevated cocktails. Berlin's also boasts one of the oldest cigar accounts in all the Florida Keys, selling a wide and rare variety of premium cigars that can be enjoyed on our outdoor smoking patio overlooking the water. Berlin's is a wonderful after dinner experience. A&B Lobster House is open nightly for dinner and reservations are strongly suggested.

Erected by A&B Lobster House.
