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.

C'est à faire à Québec. C'est très cher pour ce que c'est... les cocktails n'ont rien d'exceptionnel & la nourriture je ne préfère pas le mentionner... Mais quand même très bon

I am not sure why the usher was so grumpy. The bartenders were very accommodative but I wouldn't expect them to not have ingredients for 2 out of 7 cocktails on the menu

I was here in April. It is now September & I have been reflecting on this bar since. Everything about it was perfect; from the room, to the cocktails, to the service & even the views. This is my favorite bar in the world. I will go back, from San Francisco, for this bar in this hotel.

Le cadre est magnifique, malheureusement les serveurs ne sont pas souriants & ne sont pas très prompts à préparer les cocktails. Les cocktails ne sont pas à la hauteur de la maison.

Cocktails are good. The one that I tried was a little strong. The crowd is ok. Service is good.

The atmosphere here is great! We enjoyed some fancy cocktails & mixed drinks on a Thursday night. Our waiter was very friendly & attentive to us. We didn't leave until almost 2am on a Thursday. Nice to have some night life within the hotel mid week. We would return for drinks again during our next visit. Highly recommend!
