I'm a loyal Betty's fan, but I've been to the Hotel a few times now and it's winning me over.
Food is better and more interesting than most comparable bars (and definitely superior to most bars that have a rowdy and fun atmosphere like this one), drinks are good and the mescal selection in addition to the tequila is nice. Ping pong and pool is great, and the music selection is consistently fun. I was a big fan of the service the couple times I ate (including free shots because one of the staff had to reach behind us to change the AC).
Protip: the patio closes at 11 (due to either regulation or consideration for neighbors), so go a bit earlier if you want to hang there for awhile.
