Nowadays there are Hemingway bars all over Croatia but this was the first and remains the most cultish, with its semi-circular glass facade gazing out towards the yachts and excursion boats of Opatija’s tidy little harbour. There’s a dearth of Hemingway-related memorabilia on display but the cocktails remain reliable and the mildly upmarket party atmosphere still kicks in at weekends. The standard of service ranges from the merely ok to the absolutely rubbish and the drinks are more expensive than the ones you can help yourselves to in the average hotel minibar, but Hemingway is the one place in Opatija in which you have to hang out at least once.
