Question: Once the Key West Saloon, what’s the name of the bar often frequented by Ernest Hemingway?
Answer: Sloppy Joe’s Bar
Sloppy Joe’s Bar, the famous and infamous Key West Saloon beloved by Ernest Hemingway, opened in the middle of the Depression on Dec. 5, 1933, the day Prohibition was repealed. The bar was destined to go through two name changes and a sudden change of location before it would become today’s Sloppy Joe’s Bar, seen by millions of visitors to Florida’s southernmost outpost.
