on Citysearch Oct 15, 2008Sloppy Joe's is a classic Key West bar. Good place to go to hang out, relax and have some drinks as you're cruising down Duval. There is always a good crowd and the atmosphere is definitely Key West.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 21, 2008You HAVE to visit Sloppy Joe's when in Key West!! It is a busy, noisy place that is a ton of fun for all! Prices are reasonable. It has the typical Key West relaxed atmosphere. We never miss it when in the Keys!... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 26, 2007This place is expensive, has lousy food/slow service, and talentless and often flat-out offensive entertainers. Went there while on Christmas vacation this year (2007) and left after 15 mins because two morons on... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2007Yes it's crowded, yes it's noisy, yes it's expensive, yes it's not for kids, yes it's in Key West so what does one expect? This is a very busy, touristy place to go and just have FUN! I thought the Sloppy Joe's were really... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 29, 2007For great entertainment and the premier "straight bar" stop by Sloppy Joes. We actually stopped there twice during our day in Key West. The best time to stop was in the evening when they have their entertainment. One... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 24, 2005Sloppy Joe's is a must for anyone visiting Key West for the first time. Locals and tourist alike come here. It's not that far from where various cruise ships pull in to dock. The prices are reasonable and the staff are... (more)

on Citysearch May 19, 2005The review saying Sloppy Joe's was not Hemingway's fav bar and that Captain Tony's was is a half truth. SJ's was located around the corner from it's current location when Ernest drank there (where Tony's currently... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2003It's a place to go because everybody that goes to Key West goes there at least once. It is not a place to stay though. The food edible, but expensive, service is slow, drinks are also expensive, but hey, we don't go to KW to... (more)

on Citysearch May 06, 2003I guess the people who gave this a 9 or 10 must work there. I would have to be real drunk to be convinced the burger I spent 7 bucks on was anywhere near good. The piano player and sing along is what keeps this place open. The... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 28, 2003The atmosphere at Sloppy Joe's was fun, but the food was pretty bad (stay away from the chicken salad!) and I paid almost $7.00 for a 12 ounce pina colada! (more)

on Citysearch Dec 21, 2002Captain Tony's was Papa's favorite bar, Sloppy Joes is a tourist trap, so so drinks and food and loud music. Talk a walk over to Captain Tony's you will thank yourself! (more)

on Citysearch Dec 11, 2002If you want bar food you could get anywhere, then this is your place. Sloppy Joe's food is passable, but that's all. You shouldn't eat here while in Key West. (more)

on Citysearch Jun 03, 2002This was a really fun place with GREAT food! The entertainment of Pete and Wayne kept us laughing until we hurt! However, they are quite X-rated so it's time to leave when they come on if you have kids with you. A MUST SEE... (more)
