Key West, Florida - Bar With Death Chains In The Wall

Sloppy Joe's Bar is best known as the hangout of hard-drinking Ernest Hemingway (and later JFK). Since 1937 it has occupied a building that was built in the 1700s, and has a set of chains in its wall where at least one person was reportedly shackled and beaten to death. Since this is Key West, all stories are suspect -- but if you're out here anyway you might as well check it out. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 06/01/2007]
