I have nothing but praise for The Hotel Ocho.
I had my Birthday party here last Saturday and it was simply spectacular. I called earlier in the week to reserve enough seating for 25 people and they were very helpful accomodating my party. They set up the upper level with 3 long tables and couches so that it was very comfortable for my friends to mix and mingle.
The drinks were amazing AND it was ladies night so Mojitos (ps? so delicious) and Martinis (these suckers were tasty and STRONG) were 1/2 off for the ladies (the boys were not so happy about this...but us girls were thrilled!). Even at full price everyone agreed that the price for drinks was quite reasonable.
They truly made my party a smashing success. We were originally only supposed to stay until 11 or so before going to Brant House, but we ended up staying until 1:30 because everyone was having such a good time!
