Historic dive bar with barstools named for famous visitors. Quite a few bar games . If I lived here, it’d be my go-to haunt.

Karolyn

Loved this bar . So much cool interesting history stored in here. Captain Tony is a legend. Great live music , great drinks = great memories. A must visit.

Donna Perdue

Oldest bar in Florida ! Home of the original sloppy joe sandwich . Live music and lots of bras hanging around. In the heart of it all and rocks! Capt Tony captained the boat for Hemingway and friends.

Troy Petenbrink

Try a Papa Dobles: two and a half jiggers of white Bacardi, juice of two fresh limes , juice of half a grapefruit and 6 drops of maraschino - it was the occasional drink of Hemingway 's.

Allyson ⚡

Gravestones in the bar , a tree growing right in the middle of everything, a legit skeleton behind the bar . Oh and Hemingway hung out here. Can't ask for a better dive bar . Thanks for the tour Jay!

Mike Mott

The first Sloppy Joes , old world charm, and the Amber Ale is great

Nash Pleasant

Classic key west drinking establishment. Gets quite a bit of the tourist crowd but worth checking it out

G T

Good dive bar in key west. A must for the dive bar lover.

Certainly Strange

Get the tour from Anthony. If you sit next to the tree , don’t put your feet down (walk on someone’s grave!)

Mukta Chauhan

The bar where Hemingway frequented while he lived in Key West. Nice live music while you play pool , fooseball .

Donna Perdue

Wicked! Lots of dusty bras, a tree growing in the middle of the bar , nice live music and a prosthetic leg hangs from the ceiling! Come leave your mark!

Natalie

This is the oldest bar in Florida so I suggest you read up on it's colorful history before visiting, it will make the trip much more memorable!

Tara Spach

What can I say?? You have to visit this historic bar !

Ashley

Nice history and a haunted women's bathroom...watch out for the famous punch...it'll sneak up on you.

David

Look at the old pics of Tony & customers that are on wall around pool table . Great history.

Dan Murphy

Authentic dive bar of which Buffett sings. Although, too many Parrotheads now frequent, so I go around the corner to "The Green Parrott."

Sean Mitchell

Very laid back and not over crowded . Great history and very divey in all the right ways.

Jimmy Buffett World

A must-see for Buffett fans visiting Key West. Captain Tony Taracino was a close friend of Jimmy's and the inspiration for the song "Last Mango in Paris ."

Chad Whaley

All you need is a tremendous sex drive and a great ego. Brains don't mean shit.

Adam Trudeau

Best place for live music and fun. With Hana Yun

Beth Conley

Lovely ambience :) no food, strong drinks !!

Bill H

Try a Captain Tony's Amber while you are here! Discount on refills with the souvenir cup .

Steve McDaniel

Gotta throw a quarter into the groupers mouth outside leaning backwards upside down.

Chris

These guys will charge your phone and make your drink. Awesome.

Stuart Rosenberg

The original Hemingway bar and much more fascinating and less commercialized than Sloppy Joe 's.

Val Pouti

Ladies, hang your bra from the ceiling to be forever immortalized in Florida's oldest bar . And check out the REAL skeleton hanging behind the bar counter.

Steve Tyminski

You have to have the pirate's punch. Very refreshing and it really has booze in it.

Sondra Padlo

Beer refills are $3.75-just so it! Oh, & it's the main bar that Hemingway visited-never know what might inspire you.

Cesar Razuri

With your back to the fish , try to fling a quarter in the fishes mouth.

JoRaye Lytle

Ask your bartender the stories behind some of the graves. And the skeleton hanging on the wall beside a register.

Larry Tyner

One of the "must stops" in Key West. Check the box

Tara Spach

Look at all the dollar bills and other fun thing posted to the walls!

Greta Perry

My hubby is my hero as he got a quarter in the fish 's mouth!

Cathy Belcher

Check out the Hanging tree and the tombstone in the pool table room. Watch out for ghosts !

Jeremy Moore

Hemingways hangout!!! Must see, within crawling distance of the current sloppy joes !

Some places are a must see for the experience, this could be one.....

Shawn Gray

The pirates punch is pretty awesome. Also walk around and check out tombstones people were actually buried here.

Caitlin Clements

Hemingway met Gellhorn here when it was still called Sloppy Joe 's.

Scott Fornwall

The original!

Dave Brown

Bourbon and scotch drinkers beware...they dont have rocks glasses. It's a little hard drinking bourbon on the rocks out of a little dixie cup :(

Martha Zampino

The decoration is amazing music alive

Kenneth Mangione

Great people and service

Craig Veley
