    Classy pricey place with amazing drinks. Service can be more professional. Drinks & snack: the cocktails on their menu are very original and amazing. The classic cocktails were also nicely made. Olives with peanuts are pretty good. (Creamy Bohemian’s appearance can be improved. It really looks like vomit). Service: staff Kate who served us can be more professional. I didn’t make reservation to come here to be judged by what I order, my race, what I wear, or whom I’m with. Other staff are very attentive and friendly. Atmosphere: classy deco. The background music was very poor-taste pop music and so loud that we couldn’t hear each other in conversations. Don’t think the music matches a high-end cocktail bar named Hemingway (Maybe light jazz or light classic would fit better). I can tell most people here care and are passionate about what they do. I just would expect more professionalism from one of the best cocktail bars in the world. My night could have been much better if I didn’t have to experience the judgments from one staff. No customer should have to.

    I would like to start by stating that this business should give a RAISE to the blonde girl on the service team. She took care of us when we visited the upper floor. Super friendly and attentive but also informative about the options on the menu. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was nice as well but truly, what elevated the experience was that woman's service👍 Congrats 👏

    This bar was one of my highlights in Prague. Not only do they offer a range of fantastic cocktails, but they also have an advanced and amazing mixologist. He was the one that led us to find one of the authentic restaurants in Old Town. We didn't call the reserved table. They told us to wait a couple of minutes, and placed us in the bar. When we finished, there was a line outside. Definitely one of the most-go cocktail bars!

    Wow this place is a great bar to have a signature cocktails😍Their prices are not cheap. I've heard that this bar is in the top 50 bars in the world. You drink their coctails, you fly 🤪🤣🤣🤣😅😁👍Goooo. Their staff is very friendly and smiley. They accept card payments. Their toilets are upstairs, you need to climb few steps🙂A cosy place, nicely decorated.

    I am very grateful that the staff was able to fit us in for 1 drink at the Hemingway Bar. I didn't know that reservations were recommended, and I'm glad we happened to be walking by right as they opened before things got too busy. We sat at the bar and Andrew, one of the bartenders, was an amazing mixologist and conversationalist. It was a joy to chat with him and watch him prepare our phenomenal drinks, and those of other guests. The staff all seems to work beautifully as a team to create a memorable experience for their guests.

    Probably the best cocktail bar we have been to. Great atmosphere, friendly stuff and awesome cocktails. Thank you George for the great time and the best old fashioned I ever had. All other cocktails we had were fantastic too. See you next time.

    Another must try bar in Prague. Found this place through top 50 discovery bar (they haven’t been ranked yet). They have a great signature selection that gives you a lot of unique flavors. Definitely try their BREATH IN THE AFTERNOON which is their absinthe base cocktail.

    Probably the best bar in Prague. Staff was very kind. They are explaining all cocktails ingredients. Atmosphere is good and cocktails are really delicious. You should try this bar. Reservation might needed due high demand.

    Best cocktail place in Prague. We had an amazing time drinking very good quality cocktails in this bar. We arrived and they ask if we had reservations, we didn’t but they managed to squeeze us in. We was placed upstairs by the bar ( honestly amazing way to have the cocktails) The Mixologist gave us an amazing experience, as he was preparing our cocktails he was explaining about each component and what we would feel by drinking thar cocktail. Thumbs up to the star of the night a cocktail made with Absinthe called Breath in the afternoon.

    One of the finest, if not the finest bar in Prague. 5 stars for the atmosphere, bar keeper knowledge/friendliness and of course, 5 stars for the cocktails. We hope that you guys will survive corona ~ Manuel and Rachel

  • 4/5 Jonatanh I. 2 years ago on Google
    A perfect place to have some drinks. The staff is very attend and the bar is very cozy. The selection of drinks is quite big so you always find something that suits you. Minus one star due to the fact, that although the bar was not full they sat us in the bar next to the opening door and when we asked for a different place they put us in a table that was reserved and had to leave after 1.5h although inside the bar where plenty of tables empty. Other than that quite nice.

    Fantastic cocktail bar - the interior is reminiscent of the prohibition era and the low key lighting and comfy seating adds to the overall atmosphere. The bartenders are incredible knowledgeable and if some of the menu items don't tickle your fancy, they can pretty much whip up anything to your liking. Hard to call it a night at some point!

    Totally in love with this intimate but cozy place. Alcohol served from all over the World. We have decided on Garibaldi Sgroppino cocktails - WOW. The way you as a guest are being welcomed and the extraordinary way of serving & presenting this incredibly delightful drinks, is just more than you could expect before entering. Our first but not last! visit, was finished with the best silver tequila we have ever tried, recommendation is much appreciated. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of it, but it was soft and really good -we were shocked with how big the shots are. Kind greetings to everyone from the bar!

    Very bice place to have a good cocktail. Service was really good. Stuff is very friendly and kind. Prices are fair for the best cocktails in Prague! Usually is a busy place so it’s possible to have to wait in a line to get in, but is definitely worth the time.

    Excellent! This is the word, that describes the drinks. Cosmopolitan, is the attitude of the staff. Both results in an bar experience that I would rather keep for myself, but to share (as it is no secrets anymore, I just hope, that the high standard doesn’t decline). I’ve visited the bar 3 times during the last 5-6 years. Seating is mandatory, waiting time at the entrance was not longer than 10 minutes.

    Excellent cocktail experience in Prague. Beautiful drinks in a comfortable setting. Very friendly service, creative cocktails and very unique garnish. They put a lot of thought into their menu and would definitely recommend it. Seating is limited but it is easy to make a reservation online on their site. Do it to be safe and enjoy!

    We enjoyed the cocktails, the place, the music, the hospitality and the service. Cocktails were definitely unique and not simple twists of the classics. Waiters are also happy to help you find the cocktails that better suits your taste. Other than that their catalogue offers more than 300 runs, which I think is kind of awesome 😎 Probably you should consider booking in advance as it is quite crowded and they only allow people inside if there is available seating.

    Super cute and cozy place in the heart of Prague! The ambiance is jazz like and the decorations are unique. The cocktail menu has a lot of options and the waiters are very willing to assist you. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Bex N. 4 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Quite honestly the best cocktails and service I’ve had in a long time! Definitely reserve online in advance because this place is popular for a reason. Impeccable service and drinks that are to die for. Thank you Sandra especially, such a great host to us.

  • 5/5 Thomas J M. 3 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    My fiance and I went here around 930 to grab a drink as this place is highly rated and it was absolutely worth the walk over. My recommendation is to make a reservation if you plan on going because this place was booked full all night even on a Wednesday. The host Andrew was extremely friendly and accommodating, he found us a table for 2 quite quickly, even when there's a long wait. This place is quite upscale in its mood and atmosphere, not the type of place to go get rowdy. The cocktail list was fantastic, something for everyone but also incredibly innovative. As a former bartender with 10+ years of experience, I was impressed. They even have little drawings of the glassware each drink comes in on the menu, an artistic touch. Everyone is different. The Hemingways Garden came in a raised basin with a turnkey pour spout into a coup, and the dessert cocktail I had came in a gilded coup on a wooden coaster carved like a bar of chocolate. Awesome detail. The atmosphere is dark and leather, with typewriters and photos of Hemingway throughout his life on the walls. Great place for a nightcap. Thank you for your amazing service Andrew! We will return here next time we are in Prague.

  • 5/5 Iris 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Very friendly bar with expanded collection of alcohol. We have seated at the bar and our bartender (Matthew) was a really great guy. Small talk, very tasty cocktails. You can just describe your taste and a bartender create something special for you. We even tried a sea version of bloody mary with wakame :) A lot of customers, so I would like to recommend you to make a reservation before.

  • 5/5 Anna H. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    I really like the vibe of the bar, the set up and creativity when it comes to drinks. Glasses are well matched to your drink of choice. Price is definitely justified, given the effort put in and the quality liquor used. I can definitely recommend! ☺️

  • 5/5 Marina T. 8 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The personnel was excellent and super helpful in every way possible. Although we visited late at night while at full capacity, we only had to wait a couple minutes before being sitted. Beautiful space , the "drink Bible" had a great variety of options for every type of drinker to enjoy. Music was great as well. An awesome experience all in all and in a good location!

  • 4/5 Totò P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very high quality place. Polite and efficient service and delicious drink. Broad choice of distilled too. Just a little expensive for the standards of Prague

  • 3/5 lisa m. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been twice at this bar with my friend and we have tried a plethora of cocktails. They are very nice and the place is nice too, everything gives off an old fashioned vibe. The two things that I would consider as downsides are a. the prices, they are definitely up there even for Prague standards. Also it is extremely crowded at all times and feels somewhat claustrophobic to me personally. Good but not as spectacularly amazing as presented by reviewers.

  • 5/5 Noah W. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Gianluca S. 4 years ago on Google
    Cocktails were hit and miss. A few were well made, the right strength and well presented. Some, however, were gimmicky and a little weak, especially considering the price. It's a bit overpriced I would say as you can find better cocktail bars in Prague for a better price.

  • 5/5 Thanos 3 years ago on Google
    Definately the most sophisticated, diverse and imaginative cocktails we've come across in Prague. Their service (advising in personal on which cocktail to try) is also the best.

    There are not many good places in Prague where you can try unusual cocktails. This place has a large selection of cocktails, which served in different containers (from a regular aluminum cup to jar for kitchen salt). Friendly staff was very competent. P.S. Better to book a place few days before or even a week before...

    (Translated by Google) Very elaborate cocktails, superb decor, subdued atmosphere and attentive staff.

  • 5/5 Katarzyna G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I heartily recommend. Great decor, interesting drinks, fantastic service. For example, I have not used absinthe so far, and the local interpretations of this drink have made me experiment with it at home. It's great to listen to the story about the writer in a place with such an atmosphere (which is undoubtedly also created by photos from Ernest's life). Although the drinks are not cheap, and Hemingway itself has nothing to do with Prague, this place cannot be missed by walking on the cobblestones of the Czech capital :) An excellent place, interestingly presented original drinks. And although Hemingway had nothing to do with Prague, you can explore his history here with a good drink in hand :) (Original) Serdecznie polecam. Świetny wystrój, ciekawie podane drinki, fantastyczna obsługa. Np. dotąd nie używałam absyntu, a tutejsze interpretacje tego trunku sprawiły, że w domu również chętnie będę z nim eksperymentować. Super jest słuchać historii o pisarzu w miejscu o takim klimacie (który bez wątpienia tworzą również zdjęcia z życia Ernesta). Choć drinki nie są tanie, a sam Hemingway nie ma nic wspólnego z Pragą, tego miejsca nie można przeoczyć, stąpając po bruku stolicy Czech :) An excellent place, interestingly presented original drinks. And although Hemingway had nothing to do with Prague, you can explore his history here with a good drink in hand :)

  • 5/5 Karol C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Perfect place to drink quiet cocktails, alone or accompanied. There is a wide variety of different types of alcohol and there are signature cocktails. Some creative and fun. I can recommend the cocktails "Guardian of the garden" (fresh and exotic), "The revenant" (fresh and light) and "Blackberry and Vanilla Caipiroska" (really fruity and rich). Cocktail prices are around 250 CZK. (Original) Perfecto lugar para beber cócteles tranquilo, solo o acompañado. Existe una gran variedad de diferentes tipos de alcohol y hay cócteles de autor. Algunos creativos y divertidos. Puedo recomendar los cocteles "Guardian of the garden" (fresco y exótico), "The revenant" (fresco y ligero) y "Blackberry and Vanilla Caipiroska" (realmente frutal y rico). Los precios de los cocteles rondan en los 250 coronas checas.

    Great cocktail bar - was recommended by one of the local barman that we got chatting to during our trip to Prague. Not the biggest place in the world, and had a queue outside when we arrived - glad we waited to get in. Cocktails were very good - atmosphere was very good & barman was an artist the way he served the drinks.

  • 5/5 Jennifer L. 4 years ago on Google
    Heminway Bar is a 5 star establishment that rivals any cocktail lounge in New York, London or (enter chic city here). It gets a little busy so give yourself time to get seated. The drinks were not only aesthetically beautiful, they were also very delicious and strong. We had front row seats watching the bartenders work and it was pure entertainment. So much work and passion goes into making a single drink and the work certainly pays off. I will definitely come here again.

  • 5/5 Felix 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Certainly one of the nicest bars in Prague. Waiters are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, there is extensive advice and a lot of time is taken for each guest.

    So the Hemingway Bar. Honestly it's a really nice place. Super fancy but welcoming to everyone. Very comfortable as it only allows a certain amount of people into the bar at a time. And the drinks are I would say worth the price for the bar, it's not expensive. I would just have to say it seems like a Rich's person's club to me, very fancy feels exclusive but it's overall nice.

    One of the best cocktail bars in Prague. Bartenders are superb professionals, while drink is served - they serve the whole story about it. Amazing experience. I can recommend this place for everyone. Especially bloody Mary. Ps. take a sit on the bar.

    Highly recommend! The server was super friendly and explained every cocktail in detail! Also our compliments to the bartenders for their amazing mixology!

    Nice place with certainly one very nice waiter who took the time to explain all the things we could choose from and what could be fixed under the counter. In all honesty, the cocktails are good but I didn’t get a “wauw” effect from the ones I tried. A bit a shame as that is what I expect from cocktails. Still worth the experience though but please, match the music to the internal atmosphere and the story of Hemingway you try to bring. It has a more lounge feeling than disco feeling to it and the music did not fit the mood.

    I think Hemingway had the best drinks at any bar I’ve been to in Prague. The bar is tucked in a small street in old town, but it was super busy when I went. The two drinks that I had were delicious, albeit definitely not cheap. The waitstaff at Hemingway were also very friendly and came to recommend their signature drinks. If you’re looking for a high quality bar in Prague, this place is it.

    One of the best cocktail bars in Prague, no doubt. Extensive selection of original cocktails, including with Absinthe. Very nice Hemmingway themed decor, and good ambiance. Excellent service. Some good snacks (we didn't need to eat more after, so sufficient for a dinner).

    I had an amazing experience at Hemingway Bar. The service is awesome, the cocktails are great, and the pure number of different spirits is insane. I highly recommend a visit - but be prepared that the rooms are very hot (no AC). Also, I would recommend booking a table as this is a very popular establishment.

    This was a GREAT experience! The host was superduper nice. The server did an amazing job and the cocktails were delicious. The atmosphere was also very very nice. Loved it! And will definitely come back!

    What a lovely experience. The man who served us gave excellent recommendations and took great care of us all night. You can get some really funky drinks here, but they're absolutely fine with making you your favorite classics too when you ask for them. Prices are worth it.

    If you want a nice quiet evening with your SO or you want to chat with the staff (or think about the coming days), then this a great bar to visit. The cocktails themselves while not strong, are definitely flavorful and well made. Reservations are highly recommended if you want seats around the bar, otherwise you can get lucky with walk-ins (but you will be sitting away from the bar). A little on the pricier side (about 15 USD per coktail) but if you want good ambiance and flavorful drinks, then this is your place.

    Need to make a reservation but we’ll worth it. They only had room for us at the bar which turned out to be the best seats in the house. The bartender was very nice and answered all my questions. Great fun night out with my beautiful wife.

    What an incredible place. Non wonder it's always packed!! The place it's very small, so I would suggest to book in advance. We were served by this incredible and polite guy, I wish I had asked his name to mention in my review. He was so friendly and knowledgeable! I had a chocolate and strawberry caipiroska, it was so fruity! I loved it! My partner had a cocktail called Breath in the afternoon which came in a very fancy bottle. He loved it! 100% recommend this place if you're in Prague!!

    Such a great vibe! Tried a bunch of cocktails and they were all IMMACULATE! Staff were lovely and the music was great. Spent lots of money but sooooo worth it! Thank you for a fun evening 😌

    Very cosy and nice place. We called few minutes in advance of our arrival only to check if it is too crowded, the guy from the phone told us that it is, but after 9PM they are not receiving reservations anymore and we can try to come and check if there is any table available (that’s what we did since we were only 2 people). On our arrival, this guy from the entrance was really nice coming from time to time with an update while we were waiting in front of the building for an available table (the waiting time was only around 10 minutes) and then he welcomed us inside. The drinks were good, the staff was nice…the only thing that bothered us a little bit was the fact that, going out for a cigarette with my boyfriend, we were asked to leave something at the table to make sure we are not leaving without paying ( I am not sure if that’s an usual thing for them, no one asked this before) and that’s why I am giving them 4 starts. It was cold outside, we had to take our coats with us and I could not leave my purse…so my boyfriend stayed only in his sweater only for leaving the coat at the table. Their drinks are really good, but I had some other that were even better in other bars in Prague with similar prices but better quality and more space, considering here the tables felt too crowded for us.

    It was our first time at Hemingway's bar. Everything was perfect, from the customer service and the knowledge of the staff on the cocktails (and drinks in general) to the quality and way of serving of the drinks! We accompanied our drinks with the gooda cheese, breadsticks and fig jam, which o had to say it was really tasty (we skeptical at first whether it would be a good choice)! Prices are about 10-12 euros per drink which is not too much but it might be considered as one of the "pricier" in Prague. Definitely you have to make a reservation through bar's website to avoid waiting in line outside in the cold! If I ever visit the city again ,definitely will drink there again!!!

    some of the best cocktails i’ve had! the cocktails were so fun and each had their own story that our server explained to us. my favourite was under the sea which comes in a glass shaped like a shell with an edible sponge. we had 2 cocktails each and it came to roughly £50 (1417.53czk) which is a bit steep for 4 drinks but for the experience and how nice the drinks were i think it’s worth it. it gets quite busy so i’d recommend booking. however, we didn’t book and we queued outside for roughly 10 minutes which wasn’t bad. definitely worth a visit!
