Stopped in for after-work drinks with a friend during Christmas-time. The bar was busy but we were eventually seated in what could be argued as the best seat in the house - right by the window looking out to Union Station / Front Street.
The service was superb - with a very attentive and knowledgeable server who gave us a mini-history lesson about the hotel and the rooftop beehive and garden.
Delicious cocktails:
- ROOFTOP LAVENDER AND HONEY BEE'S KNEES and
- MORTDECAI SPICED MANHATTAN
both strong and flavourful
And we shared a STEAK TARTARE to snack on - that came with 3 slides of toasted crostini. We could've used a fourth piece given the amount of tartare remaining and the fact it was shared between two.
Hotel bars, especially those that bear such historic significance - are always favourites to frequent.
