May 5: SLOPPY JOE’S CELEBRATES 75 YEARS AT THE CORNER OF DUVAL AND GREENE
Sloppy Joe’s Bar is a historic Key West landmark that has been in its
current location since May 5, 1937. Sloppy Joe’s has been owned by the
Snelgrove and Mayer families since September, 1978.
The building the main bar resides in was built in 1917, and its adjacent building
that houses its kitchen and Joe’s Tap Room was built it 1892. The two
buildings together are over 215 years old.
It all began with Joe Russell original proprietor, a native conch, who began
his legitimate business with the end of prohibition. Russell’s bar went
through two name changes and change of location before becoming today’s
world-famous Sloppy Joe’s. It was suggested by Ernest Hemingway, Russell’s
friend and fishing companion, to change the bar name to Sloppy Joe’s.
Russell and Hemingway often fished the waters between Key West and Havana,
the bar name was adopted from the original Sloppy Joe’s in Havana.
Sloppy Joe’s will celebrate its 75th Year at the Corner of Duval Street
May 5th by doing what Sloppy Joe’s does best… being “the
best party in town.” On stage: The Doerfels at Noon; Wayne and Friends
at 5:30pm; music from Key West Songwriters Jeffrey Steele Band street concert

There will be Sloppy Joe’s Gift card giveaways throughout the day and
cake at 2:30pm.
