A beautiful outlook with the carefully crafted cocktails you'd expect from a luxury hotel bar. Lydia greeted us with the friendliest smile & made us feel at home right away. Pamela mixed us perfect martinis & was incredibly attentive & friendly despite how buzzing the bar was. The perfect launching off spot for an evening or nightcap after a beautiful day in Quebec!

Classic legacy hotel bar experience. We went for a night cap & so, so glad we did. The bartenders are excellent at what they do. We enjoyed gin martinis & some of their creative cocktails. My partner says the oysters are delicious.

Magnifique bar avec des cocktails excellents. Les employés au bar offrent un bon service. Toutefois, il n'y a pas de réservation possible & les clients ayant un séjour à l'hôtel ne sont pas priorisés pour se voir une table être attitrée. Il serait pertinent que les clients ayants réservé une chambre à l'hôtel ait la priorité.

Très beau bar cosy pour un repas en amoureux 🍸

La planche 5 charcuteries 3 fromages est parfaite si vous avez une grande faim. Avec un cocktail alcoolisé ou non.

Soit attablé au bar, & des discussions intéressantes avec le barman

Ou bien assis en salle avec une jolie vue sur le Saint Laurent & les éclairages sur le château

Good place of Québec 👌

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
