Consumatorium Reviews: Hemingway Bar in Prague, Czech Republic

Recently, the entire Consumatorium staff went on a field trip to the Hemingway Bar in Prague, Czech Republic.

Not only is the Hemingway Bar a fabulous craft bar, but they specialize in their namesake’s favorite drinks – absinthe, rum and champagne. Specialize somehow doesn’t do it justice, though. Their cocktail menu includes three pages of absinthe choices alone. You can find their full and sorta unreal cocktail menu here.

Dave had a Lavender Martini, which he loved.

Will had a Sazerac and a Corpse Reviver 2. Both Excellent. The bartender proposed a combo with half cognac and half rye in the Sazerac instead of 100% of one or the other. Superb.

The Hemingway Bar is highly recommended if you find yourself behind the ol’ Iron Curtain or, if you’re really into mixology, it’s pretty much worth the trip by itself.

The bar also has a set of clearly displayed bar rules which we at the Consumatorium think should be a hallmark of any great bar:

HEMINGWAY BAR RULES

PRAVIDLA HEMINGWAY BARU

1. Each guest will be seated. The bartender will gladly show

you to a suitable place to sit.

2. Do not move the furniture or change seats. If you do not

like where you are sitting, tell the bartender, who will reseat

you if possible.

3. Do not talk loudly (i.e. do not shout or make a noisy scene).

4. Speak politely and do not use vulgar language.

5. Do not talk to other guests that you do not know; respect

their privacy.

6. If you want to buy somebody a drink, please ask the

bartender ﬁrst. He will ﬁnd out if that person is interested

in your offer.

7. Do not use a computer in the bar. We will be happy to

recommend an internet café.

8. As we want our guests to feel comfortable, the moment

there is no place to sit, we are full and cannot allow more

people into the bar.

9. Guests seated in the non-smoking section who would like

to smoke must leave their drinks inside and go outside

in front of the bar to smoke.

10. Respect the instructions of the bar staff at all times.
