i dont remember much past the rich lacquered brown of the bar at the front and its brass defenders. thats the first floor. i havent read any of the other reviews yet but id bet on all of them mentioning the rooftop patio.
sometimes thats all that it takes for a place to both rise above its neighbours, and outlast the competition. For hemingways, has been around for a number of years now.
on a sultry summers night you can feel like your at some club in the tropics (whatever the hell that means). maybe its just the excitement of being on a rooftop patio. its all made of wood as you might expect and the bar sits as a rectangle in the centre of the room.
ive only ever come here, (that i can remember) for drinks late at night; this very much seems like a nice late night hang out for flirts, a cool down for waiters post shift. even in the winter its still opened though its sealed like a boat or a convertable. lots of canvas and soft windows. it completes itself with heated trees and your golden.
for convenience, once youve drank your wallet dry, you can take a mere step or two off the patio and look to the right for the atm. ah, convenience.
