Hemingway Lounge Bar

Hemingway Lounge Bar is part of a chain of upmarket cocktail bars with two branches in Zagreb. This one is located opposite the imposing National Theatre. It has a gilded feel with ornate trimmings and chandeliers. There are the prerequisite photos of Ernest, of course – in pastel relief. Cocktails with fruit are among the establishment's specialties: the Mojito, of course, raspberry Martinis and the Amaretto Sour – with fresh oranges and lemons – is a showstopper. If the weather is nice, grab a pavement table among the pretty set dressed in all black and posing over sandwiches, healthy juices and macchiatos by day, and classic drinks like Mai Tais and Long Island Ice Teas at night to accompany DJs spinning house. The classy, more dance-club-esque venue at Tuškanac 1, behind the Tuškanac Cinema, is open noon-5am Monday through Saturday.
