35 LITERARY BARS AND CAFÉS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Who wouldn't want to visit literary cafes and bars from around the world where famous writers hung out?? 

I enjoyed checking out the 35 bars and cafes mentioned in Emily Temple's article on Literary Hub's website titled, A VISUAL TOUR OF 35 LITERARY BARS AND CAFÉS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. In the article, Emily Temple writes:
In our habitual fantasies, writers do nothing but sit at small café tables, sometimes meeting with their friends, other times gazing wistfully into a pint or swirling an espresso before they scribble down their latest brilliant thought. It may have worked for Hemingway, but I’m here to tell you: that’s not usually what writing looks like. But hey, it’s Friday. So what better time to indulge our daydreams and salivate over a few of the bars and cafés that famous writers frequented in days of yore? I mean, writerly fantasies aside, I wouldn’t mind reading for a while in any one of these. Of course, this is nowhere near a complete list of every place a famous writer ever drank—not least because in the interest of avoiding the New York/Paris/Dublin trap, I’ve limited the choices to one per city—so feel free to add on to the list. Now, without any further ado: 35 literary watering holes in 35 cities. Which one would you visit?
So, click on the top list to see which cafes and bars made the list!
