Norah CordovaJuly 29, 2017Sloppy Joe must stop get the original flavor stay for a while enjoy live music and drinks. It is always packed might wait a while for a table!
RobinJune 27, 2012No matter how touristy....the food is fab, the bands are cool, and the people watching is amazing! Black bean quesadillas w salsa are to die for....pizza is also very good!Upvoted Feb 16
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
JimmyGotUpsNovember 5, 2014Love this bar. The service is always quick and the entertainment is always pretty good.
Ben GaspariniJune 19, 2017They have some good frozen drinks. Also the bad that does Eminem covers is freaking awesome. Especially the drummer.
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.
Danny NathanJune 24, 2015A fun stop for a cold beer and to check out the scene. (And it is a scene.)
shannonNovember 27, 2015The banana daiquiris are amazing! Make sure to be on camera at the front of the building!
Great location- the partiers have Sloppy Joe's in the front. The beer aficionados have the Tap Room. Rogue, Southern Tier, and others.
Daniele AlthoffJanuary 2, 2017I really like the music, the beer and the generous portions of nachos! Cool place.
Olena TkachevaFebruary 26, 2017Traditional American bar famous because of Hemingway used to drink there
I love going to Sloppy Joes even if I am a local! Great food and fun music. What more can you ask for?
Parker GibsonAugust 21, 2017Be ready for a heavy handed pour! Excellent spot for music and having a drink!
Jake AycockMay 4, 2014It's a kinda obvious tip, but get a sloppy joe and a beer! There awesome! Love this place!
Nikos KotsioudisApril 25, 2017Very crowded,live music,nice place to visit but the sloppy Joes sandwich was not as good as advertised.Waitress was constantly asking us to pay & leave,at least 3 times in 5 minutes.Not that friendly.
Julie MannMay 4, 2014Must visit if you are in key West, great live band and great for people watching!
JillAugust 23, 2013Live music daily & nightly! Great drinks! Children kicked out at 9pm ~ yay!! live webcams for your friends to spy on your shenanigans ;)
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.
Vanessa ClaudioFebruary 1, 2015The atmosphere is amazing. The food is really good and the service is really fast and good!
👑МайяMarch 13, 2013Like it!!but it better to drink,dance,have fun here!not eat..very specific dishes..
Nole FrankDecember 3, 2011Very nice place to get pissed. Beer is not really good but have few and u dont really care. Big plus os u can smoke here:-)
Jill BraileyOctober 7, 2012Atmosphere, entertainment, souvenirs, and of course the infamous Sloppy Joes. Don't miss it!
Cecile GeorgeAugust 7, 2013Hemingway recommended the name. I recommend the cute blond guy who sang on Wed until 4:15.
Dan MurphyJune 30, 2012No doubt a good bar with live music. But if you want the authentic version head to Captain Tony's Saloon down the street.
Business RepsJune 5, 2012Where the local (and not so local) cops come to relax off duty, very safe place to have a good time!
Come in and get a Sloppy Joe sandwich, drink a beer, and listen to some music. You may not be able to write like Hemingway, but you can drink like him!
Chris AllanJuly 23, 2013The food was good but the music was great. Maybe we just dropped lucky but we spent a fab afternoon here
Julian WachholzJuly 24, 2013Try the frozen Rum Runner. Now this is what I call a Slushie. Also in a nice souvenir mug.
Ann ZuccardyDecember 23, 2010Heard the music of the Doerfuls and bought their Christmas CD. A little touristy for me, but you have to experience Sloppy Joe's at least once.
