After a stressful train ride from Montreal, 1608 Bar filled my cup… literally! The drink menu is gorgeous! There's beautiful hand-painted photos of the drinks as well as a write up of the history, ingredients ands anything else. There's a cocktail specifically made for Anthony Bourdain. The Old Fashioned was out of this world-definitely in my top 5 ever! My server Henri was lovely & recommended some things for me to do while in QC! He was incredibly busy so it was nice to chat for a hot sec. The bar itself is masculine with dark wood, books & a fireplace. The views of the St. Lawrence are awesome (if you're seated near a window). The tables are tightly packed together so you so absolutely overhear (& possible even meet!) your table neighbors! The bathrooms are in the hotel (go to the 1st Christmas tree & turn left!) but there's several stalls. There's also several staff members if you get lost on your way back! Everyone speaks perfect English as well!

The food & cocktails are great. The bar & view is beautiful. The only issue we had was getting in. We went 3 days in a row & waited over an hour, before giving up & leaving.Finally got in on the fourth day. They don't take reservations. The hostess are very curt

Glad we popped into the hotel bar at Le Chateau. Only had one drink, but it was a great time. Cool vibe, very chic. Had to wait about 10 minutes for a table to open, but worth the wait. Great service & fairly priced for a 5* hotel

Dec2024 Part of the impressive list of Fairmount roster of stylish bars all throughout the world, the 1608 also meets this prestigious list. The evolved menu of narratives about the creative cocktails is always unique & personal to each bar & is a homage to the creative mixologists behind them. Obviously, cocktails are highly recommended but also try their local gins & beers which have history & care to back them up. Their food menu is also varied as well & pairs well with the drinks. Do converse with the knowledgeable servers who can guide you to a noteworthy experience on your visit. The bar is very cozy & often crowded. I recommend reservations. Btw, if you are a hotel guest, they have a number of wine, beer & spirits tasting sessions that will give you a glimpse of the level of quality & effort they take in their bar & drink depts. Cheers.

It's the place to see & to be seen when you are in Quebec City. Charming old world bar with very skillful & professional bartenders. A bit pricy but it's the experience you pay for.

it reminded me why I usually avoid hotel bars. Went there past 10pm, still quite a few people at the bar & around. It was obviously closing time for the bartender who couldn't be bothered actually bartending & preferred work on doing their closing duties in our face. Somehow managed to mess up a Negroni & an Old Fashioned before disappearing leaving us hanging for the check.
