I generally like those small, cozy places with lots of personality and taste, and Hemingway Bar Tirana, is exactly one of that kind. Hemingway is a great place where every detail is well thought out. There is a very large choice of drinks, from long drinks, cocktails, beers and wine but the real highlight is the collection of rum from different origins. So many flavors to taste, all of them served with so much care, that only someone like Rudi (the owner) could manage to do it.
It is curious how the best places always attract the best people. Hemingway Bar Tirana has the greatest community of special people who have their own passions, styles and beliefs, and this is something you could hardly find elsewhere in Tirana.
I can go on writing about everything I like about Hemingway, but I really think that if you just pass by that old narrow street in the very heart of Tirana, and have a drink in the street, you can feel the true essence of Tirana.
