After nearly a century, Sloppy Joe’s remains a Key West nightlife favorite for continuing to serve up cold and strong drinks with a smile.

Many bars offer live music, but how many have their own house band? Durty Harry’s sets itself apart from the rest of the Key West nightlife with their house band, The Durtbags, a rock group that is sure to blow patrons away with their infectious energy and rocking music. Travelers and locals alike enjoy live music seven nights a week at this spot, making Durty Harry’s an idyllic spot to dance the night away.

When you visit, be sure to check out the Back Bar, an eccentric backyard bar with yard games and live music. And if you’re feeling peckish from your night of drinking and dancing, General Horseplay is serving up snacks like curried caramel corn and vermouth-soaked olives to appease your cravings.
