Sloppy Joe's Bar

Sloppy Joe's Bar, a Key West classic at Duval and Greene

Sloppy Joe's Bar is a historic establishment in Key West, Florida, whose activity dates back to the end of Prohibition in 1933. Since 1937 it has occupied the corner of Duval and Greene, a location the company itself describes as one of the most famous bars in the United States and known internationally. The venue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The company presents itself as a space full of Key West history and characters, with an offering that combines a bar, kitchen, shop, and live music 365 days a year.

Drinks, food, and shop

The bar offers drinks and food, as well as a branded merchandise shop. The menu includes specialty cocktails, the Sloppy Joe sandwich, typical Key West snacks, wings, and sandwiches, among other options. The shop sells clothing, souvenirs, and other products, and offers gift cards, with the option to check their balance.

Live music and dancing

The music programming is daily: there is live music every day from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., with dancing every night. The entertainment calendar is published on the website, which also lets you see who is performing that same day. Among the recurring events, the annual Hemingway Look-Alike Contest stands out, held every July.

Live streams and virtual tour

For those who cannot visit the venue, the company maintains live cameras showing the stage, the bar, the crowd, and Duval Street. The website also offers a virtual tour of the interior of Sloppy Joe's and Joe's Tap Room, as well as photo galleries and content about the photographs, artifacts, and flags displayed in the bar.
