Sloppy Joe’s Bar
A lively Duval Street bar with live music and a Hemingway connection. Come for the atmosphere and the historic corner, rather than a quiet look at literary history.
Sloppy Joe’s puts Key West’s bar history in the middle of a busy night out. The bar has occupied the Duval and Greene corner since 1937, while the place Hemingway knew first operated a few doors away on Greene Street. That distinction makes the present bar more interesting than a simple Hemingway photo stop.
What to look for

Useful to know
Pair a stop here with a walk along Duval Street; expect a lively bar rather than a quiet historic interior.
