Captain Tony's Saloon

428 Greene St.
Key West, FL

"Hemingway's Sloppy Joe's" at 428 Greene Street (Captain Tony's Saloon), was the location of Sloppy Joe's Bar during the majority of Hemingway's life in Key West (Not the bar at the corner of Duval and Greene Streets, which would have you believe otherwise). Most of Hemingway's productive years as an author took place during this time. (1928-1938)

Hemingway kept to a strict schedule while writing in Key West, waking at dawn and walking to his pool house, where he wrote at an old wooden desk. After work he met his circle of friends every afternoon at 3:30 - at Sloppy Joe's Bar, 428 Greene St. (Captain Tony's Saloon).
