Description

A really beautiful hotel, and a terrific place to just sit and talk. Drinks are cheap, and there's no cover charge. The bathrooms are stunning, and there's also a huge glass wine cellar, where all the wines are displayed in racks. The crowd seems to be mostly business related and rather tznius.

Tips

There is parking right outside, but its hard to get into that block
Even after getting multiple drinks, the bill can be around only $15.
Officially, you have to be 21 to sit in the bar, but some users have got in without them checking ID's.
Lobby looks quite small from the pictures. It's not so small in person.
There is usually no need to pay for parking if you go when parking is free. There is ample parking on the block directly behind the hotel at night and you could walk in through the back entrance (nice, not a service entrance).
There is no need to go to the bar to buy drinks. A waiter will come to you to ask what you want to drink. Don't forget the tip!

Hours Subject to change. Always verify.
