EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Havana in the 1950s. The iconic "Everyone Knows Sloppy Joes Bar" stands proudly, a symbol of an era when Cuba was a playground for American celebrities and tourists alike. For over four decades, this world-famous bar welcomed visitors with open arms, offering not only its renowned Sloppy Joes sandwiches but also an impressive selection of over 80 cocktails. Amongst the hustle and bustle at the counter, patrons could savor the bar's own brand of exquisite 12-year-old rum. During its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s, this establishment became a hotspot for both locals and international jet-setters seeking entertainment and indulgence. However, as history took its course, political changes brought about by the Cuban Revolution in 1959 spelled doom for many businesses that relied heavily on American clientele. The demise of Sloppy Joes Bar serves as a poignant reminder of how swiftly fortunes can change. This postcard captures a moment frozen in time - men gathered around bottles behind the counter, soaking up the lively ambiance within these walls. Now preserved through this vintage print from Grace Line's collection, it allows us to glimpse into Havana's past glory days – an era filled with glamourous nights spent enjoying delectable food, exotic drinks, and unforgettable memories at Everyone Knows Sloppy Joes Bar.
