Hemingways Watering Hole

Ignore other reviews and only read this one. Because I'm an absurd person. If you're just passing through Waco and you want to find a local gem this is it. The welcoming warmth that you will fell walking through the doors is something only a local place like this can offer. The family that runs the place is fantastic and all of the people who work there are genuinely great people. Izzy is a delight to interact with and cares about the family business. Andy, John, Sean, Hutch are all great bartenders each with their own personality. Everyone that works there is top notch. And you'll meet some of the more interesting customers that you can imagine. Truly a Waco Gem. Photos are only from the Christmas season. This place is essentially Narnia in the best way possible.

Great atmosphere, always make a stop here when working in Waco. Your quintessential neighborhood bar! Friendly barkeeps, eclectic patrons, craft beer and curated cocktails a re the norm. Fave staffers Sean & Hutch keep the spirits flowing!

The bartender was amazing. My dirty martini was amazing!! Small, cozy bar with a very friendly feel. I watched the bartender work with another patron trying to figure out what she might like to drink and that kind of personal service will always win extra points with me!

Nikki is one of the best owners I’ve met in the Waco/central area. The bar that she runs is truly incredible and the best bar in Waco. Shawn/Izzy are my favorite bartenders here obviously Nikki but she has staff that cares about her business as if it was her own and that only comes from phenomenal management.

They make you feel like Family. Not to mention that the drinks and service are on point. It is a vibe!!!! Can’t got wrong. If you are in town or looking for a bar stop by here and enjoy this amazing bar.
