What a treat to visit this historic hotel while sipping on one of the most creative cocktail bars in QC. As soon as we were seated at the bar, we were served water & bar snacks. The service was very smooth, & in between watching our bartender make all the beautiful drinks, he took time to jot down other speakeasies around town for us to visit.

Our chosen cocktails, Hemingway's Retreat & Soie, were out of this world. Yes, both drinks were expensive, but rightfully so given the location & the complexity of the drinks. Both drinks were so tasty that we can't wait to return again to try other drinks.

Terrific bar tender's very skilled in preparing drinks. A very impressive place to relax & unwind. A magnificent hotel with very friendly down to earth staff.

This was a fun stop if you wanted to go into the hotel & are not staying there. The drinks were good - but very expensive & not anything exceptional compared to other options in the city. Staff are friendly, but it is definitely like moving the herds through. I think it does well simply because it is in the hotel.

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.

What a fantastic bar!! We didn't order food but they have a menu with small bites. Our bartender Jeremy was top notch!! He made the drinks with care. We are guests at the hotel & the vibe was great!!

Beautiful bar in a beautiful hotel. Sadly I was a bit disappointed with service & food portions. Our waiter, although pleasant, was not overly friendly. He seemed a be snobbish, & I had the slight impression we were inconvenienceing him. When I asked for something that wasn't on the menu he shut me down with an abrupt No. Kinda rude, especially when your paying over $20 a drink. As for the Charcuterie board ~ it was tasty but portion of cheese was pathetic...not worth $47 +tax.
Otherwise, it's a very warm & inviting atmosphere in the bar itself, & fun to watch the mixologists at work.

Bar 1608 is definitely my favorite bar to go to when going to Quebec city. Located in one of the most photographed hotels in the world, Chateau Frontenac, this bar feels like luxury, the drinks menu with pictures is well done. The staff is professional & always making sure you are having a good time!

We enjoyed a light lunch, so hamburgers & snacks, & sparkling wine.

The atmosphere was outstanding because it was a bar in the prestigious luxury hotel "Chateau Frontenac", & the quality of the foods & the service of the staff were also excellent!!
