Hemingway, Restaurant and pub in Market Square, Gliwice, Poland
Hemingway is a restaurant and pub on Market Square in Gliwice, Poland, spread across two floors. The ground floor holds a bar and glass arcades, while the lower floor is given over to a dance floor.
The venue first opened in May 2003 with just the ground floor, and later that same year the lower level was added. That second space made it possible to offer dancing alongside food and drink.
The interior is decorated with photographs of Ernest Hemingway, nautical maps, steering wheels, and compasses that recall the writer's travels. These objects give the space a feel closer to an explorer's den than a typical city bar.
The place is open from early morning until after midnight, so it works for both a daytime meal and a late-night outing. The two floors have different energy levels, so it helps to know which one you are heading to before you arrive.
The bar keeps a collection of around 150 whiskey varieties from across the world, which makes it one of the more complete selections in the region. A humidor behind the counter offers cigars for those who want to pair one with their drink.
