Best Cocktail Fan Hangout

Yeah, there may be hipper spots to tipple within a block of this Wedgewood-Houston stalwart, but the bartenders at Hemingway’s Bar & Hideaway strive to interact with their customers in a way that emphasizes hospitality over flash. The drinks menu features few details, opting instead for snippets of prose. This encourages a conversation between mixologist and customer to discover the perfect cocktail for the mood and the moment. CHRIS CHAMBERLAIN
