On a Saturday night around 11pm you'd expect this bar to be hopping with business and leisurely travellers, guests of the Trump and local people watchers alike as well as the usual bar scene crowd.
This is not the case at the Calvin bar. 3 tables full when I went on Saturday night, the bar was disappointingly empty. The bartenders lack personality, though nice and make good drinks they fail to captivate the patrons in comparison to other bars (think bar chef or bar Raval). Music is not loud enough for a bar/lounge vibe.
I'd find this bar a great place for a drink to catch up with an old friend but for a trendy happening place (that I would assume lends itself to the Trump name) Calvin Bar misses the mark by a landslide. Unfortunately it fails to garner the crowd it was destined to accommodate.
On the plus side the truffle popcorn is so tasty!
