Bar The Old Man

A classic speakeasy on Aberdeen Street which, were it not for the regular queues outside, might still pass as genuinely hidden. Designed as a clandestine literary club devoted to Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man became one of the defining bar successes of the late 2010s within months of opening. Its popularity has endured, particularly among the expatriate community. A large communal table encourages easy conversation between strangers, while a menu entirely inspired by Hemingway’s life and work provides an unexpectedly deep and renewable narrative framework.
