Hemingway's is a go-to after work drinking hole for business peeps working in the Yorkville area. We typically go here Fridays after work to get the party started. Later on into the evening the people get drunker and uglier.
The patrons are very diverse but definitely NOT what you are expecting in Yorkville. (psss - "Where did these people COME FROM?!") You get your scantily clad females, university students, old men, creepy men, old creepy men and your regular 9-5ers.
The pub is owned by a nice kiwi man (New Zealander) and he keeps the prices reasonable which is why this place draws such a crowd. Huge with numerous patios, the biggest and most popular one is on the third floor at the back.
I always get extremely pissed off because they have some kind of sprinkler system overheard that shoots "mist" down over all the tables on the really hot days. WTF? Stop that shit, it ruins my hair-do.
Food is typical uninventive pub crap that comes from a box and is deep fried. Burgers are passable when you are drunk.
