馃嵏馃嵐馃嵎 Historic Havana Bar 馃嵏馃嵐馃嵎
Sloppy Joe's Building |
It is one of the city's legendary bars. Sloppy is famous for having the longest bar in Cuba made of a single piece of 18-meter-long black mahogany wood. Its menu is composed of light foods as Cuban sandwiches, “ropa vieja” and more than 30 cocktails created in this place.
Sloppy was opened in 20th century´s second decade and with the proclamation of Prohibition in the United States gained boom and popularity because of many merchants, marines and tourists from the United States visited Cuba between 1920s and 1930s.
Many celebrities from sport and all art expressions frequented the Sloppy in the following decades such as Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Ernest Hemingway, Alejo Carpentier, Eliseo Diego, Cintio Vitier among others.
In 1959, it was one of the stages for the film “Our Man in Havana” which immortalized the bar.
The bar remained closed for almost fifty years and after an exhaustive restoration made by the Havana Historian Office, was reopened in 2013.
Sloppy Joe's is located on Zulueta Street, between 脕nimas and Virtudes, just one block away from Paseo del Prado.
