| - For happy hour, there's 2 places you can grab a drink in The 9 in the cold weather: Adega, or Ledger Bar, as Azure is closed in winter and Vault doesn't open until 9pm. The Ledger bar is a little inconspicuous. Once in the elevator of The 9, there's easy buttons directing to its major attractions...but none for Ledger Bar. Take the elevator to Floor 2, and you won't miss it. The vibe is classy and fun, and it doesn't feel like a hotel bar. I can't wait to come back here, even when its not cold.
Secluded against the mezzanine, Ledger has a modern, rustic vibe accented with deep wood elements and interesting glass lighting fixtures. When the sun goes down, the dim lighting creates a really sleek atmosphere. The seating is limited, which is legitimately the only downfall.
The drinks at Ledger are strong, and completely worth being a little pricy. Try the Bees Knees (gin + local honey!), and don't be shy to ask the bartender for suggestions from their extensive cocktail menu. They know what they're doing!
