What’s the vibe?
Shock horror: everything in Hemingway Bar is inspired by writer and bar lover Ernest Hemingway. As you enter the dim-lit bar, you’ll be greeted by Hemingway photos and posters on the walls, shelves lined with a wide range of spirits, and a ‘20s speakeasy design. Even the menu reflects Hemingway’s life, featuring unusual drinks named ‘Wooden Pen’, ‘Autumn in Chicago’ and ‘Short Story’.
Sit at the bar to watch the bartender skillfully prepare your drink, or find a table to enjoy the cosy atmosphere with your friends. Reservations are recommended, especially if you’re visiting on the weekend.
What should I drink?
You simply must try one of their signature cocktails, if only to do justice to their theme. If you’re unsure what to get, ask the very knowledgeable bartenders for recommendations. Top tip: not for the faint hearted, for sure, but absinth cocktails are very popular here.
Prices are higher than most places in Prague, but you’re paying for seriously good cocktails and a central location, so we think it’s reasonable; expect to pay between 285 CZK and 385 CZK for a cocktail.
How late is it open?
Open till 1am Monday to Thursday (and Sunday) and 2am on the weekends, this spot is always a vibe.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
The bar is next to many of Prague’s most popular attractions; you can cross the famous Charles Bridge, watch a play at the National Theatre, or grab a historic coffee at Café Louvre.
