Hemmingway Lounge and Cigar Bar

Wish I could give more stars but this place could be so much better.  Dark, no cigars for sale and expensive ($9 for a bourbon on the rocks?). Even though I live 2 minutes away, I drive 20 minutes to The Tasting Room in Monona if I crave a good cigar.

The humidors are full of cigar boxes, but the boxes are free of cigars. The bottles behind the bar might be of your favorite spirits, but the bottles contain no alcohol. This, and much less, could be yours at Hemmingway.

When my friends and I were there last night, I had to drive to the Kelly's Market down the street to get cigars since the bar was all out. They didn't have any Johnny Walker Black Label, Basil Hayden's, or Beefeater gin, in spite of the empty bottles sitting on the shelves. It was an altogether lackluster experience, and unless they fix these glaring problems, I can't see myself ever going back there.

1 star is generous.  They literary had 3 cigars for sale.
