Sloppy Joe's is a legendary Key West bar that was a favorite haunt of Ernest Hemingway during his time on the island. Established in 1933, the bar maintains a raucous, old-timey vibe with live music daily, cold drinks, and a menu of bar food. Visitors can soak up the historic ambiance, check out Hemingway memorabilia, and join the crowd for a quintessential Key West experience. It's a must-stop on any Duval Street crawl.
