Description: Sloppy Joe's is a Key West institution. Ernest Hemmingway spent a lot of time here, and the walls of the place are a tribute to the Pulitzer Prize winning author. Sloppy Joe's opened on December 5, 1933 - the day Prohibition was repealed - and Key West has never looked back. This saloon is as packed today as it was then.
This bar is always hopping with live music and lively conversation. Come in and enjoy the basic, down home food (served in simple baskets). The service is quick and the amenities are few. But what the place lacks in fine dining, it more than makes up for with atmosphere. The performers interact with the audience. At night, Sloppy Joe's neon sign, loud music and laughter entice the curious bypasser. Check it out! There's even a website, with a Sloppycam. Find it at http://www.sloppyjoes.com
