Amy CApril 15, 2013The Jameson flows like water here. Bartender rings big ass bell when you leave a good tip. We got lots of rings! Great place, great music.

Zach AaronsJanuary 19, 2012Classic bar where Hemingway used to drink during his tenure in Key West. Get the special Margarita or a beer and listen to music. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Mariana GuedesSeptember 8, 2015The bar ever! ❤️ The band was amazing, great service, nice food (try Sloopy Joe Sandwich!) and cold beer. It's like Titanic's basement party!
Amy SullivanJanuary 9, 2015Raunchy entertainment, generous drinks, and amazing staff. Suzanne took great care of us, made us feel right at home.
La B.August 17, 2014Loud during peak hours. Can't go wrong with their Sloppy Joe sandwich. Have a beer and channel your inner Hemingway.
Danny NathanJune 24, 2015A fun stop for a cold beer and to check out the scene. (And it is a scene.)
I love going to Sloppy Joes even if I am a local! Great food and fun music. What more can you ask for?
JimmyGotUpsNovember 5, 2014Love this bar. The service is always quick and the entertainment is always pretty good.
JillAugust 23, 2013Live music daily & nightly! Great drinks! Children kicked out at 9pm ~ yay!! live webcams for your friends to spy on your shenanigans ;)
Daniele AlthoffJanuary 2, 2017I really like the music, the beer and the generous portions of nachos! Cool place.
Trista EdgleyAugust 2, 2013A solid OK. The atmosphere is fun. The live music was nice. The drinks are a bit watered down. The food, while huge, is frozen and canned. Share a sandwich. And don't get your hopes up.
Ben GaspariniJune 19, 2017They have some good frozen drinks. Also the bad that does Eminem covers is freaking awesome. Especially the drummer.
sugardaddie.comOctober 2, 2013If you are a tourist but want a little local flavor but not too much, this is a great place, kind of a must visit in Key Weird!
Great location- the partiers have Sloppy Joe's in the front. The beer aficionados have the Tap Room. Rogue, Southern Tier, and others.
Donna PerdueJanuary 24, 2012Depends on who's in the kitchen...sometimes there's too much "powder" in the sloppy joe. Still, the music is AWESOME! And the beer flows cheaply from lots on tap! Avoid 6 - 7:30 p.m. Crowded!
Olena TkachevaFebruary 26, 2017Traditional American bar famous because of Hemingway used to drink there
shannonNovember 27, 2015The banana daiquiris are amazing! Make sure to be on camera at the front of the building!
Buford DouglasMarch 29, 2019Est. 1933. Some attribute the Sloppy Joe Sandwich to this bar, which has served a loose beef sandwich, although the bar itself does not claim this and research suggests it came from Sioux City, Iowa.
Vanessa ClaudioFebruary 1, 2015The atmosphere is amazing. The food is really good and the service is really fast and good!
Parker GibsonAugust 21, 2017Be ready for a heavy handed pour! Excellent spot for music and having a drink!
Julie MannMay 4, 2014Must visit if you are in key West, great live band and great for people watching!

Jake AycockMay 4, 2014It's a kinda obvious tip, but get a sloppy joe and a beer! There awesome! Love this place!
Kevin WrightMarch 13, 2011Get the sloppy joe I was sceptical about how good it could be but it's definitely worth it. I only wish my elementary school had had their recipe.
Jill BraileyOctober 7, 2012Atmosphere, entertainment, souvenirs, and of course the infamous Sloppy Joes. Don't miss it!
Julian WachholzJuly 24, 2013Try the frozen Rum Runner. Now this is what I call a Slushie. Also in a nice souvenir mug.
Cecile GeorgeAugust 7, 2013Hemingway recommended the name. I recommend the cute blond guy who sang on Wed until 4:15.
