Bars of Barretto: Sloppy Joe’s

On the National highway next door to Alaska Club

Sloppy Joe’s is a small bar that offers outdoor seating–just the kind I like! It’s a relatively new bar that has recently undergone some significant remodeling.

Traffic noise can be a bit distracting, but they play good music, and most times, you can focus on that and forget about the passing vehicles. Nice close-up view of people passing by on foot, although the beggars can sometimes be a bother.

You can also watch the music videos on a big screen TV which is a nice touch.

No pool or darts; what you see (and hear) is what you get. The night I was here, there were only a couple of waitresses on duty. I’m sure I could have bought them a drink if I wanted, but I wasn’t looking for company. To their credit, they didn’t ask either.

Sloppy Joe’s is known for being an after-hours hangout, often staying open until 3 a.m. or later. Not that I would ever be awake to see that happening. But it is a good bar to hang out with friends or chill on your own. Beer is cold and wet, just the way I like it!
