We had a drink there & the cocktails were you uniquely created on site. The view & the atmosphere are amazing. Cocktail prices are higher as one would expect from a tourist destination of the caliber, but the experience was still worth it.

Google seems to think that this is a restaurant. This is a bar that serves appetizers. I think this is supposed to be reserved for hotel guests but we were served & were not staying at the hotel.

The cocktail offerings were unique & tasty. The drinks were served in appropriate glassware with single large ice cubes, where appropriate. This is a true cocktail bar.

We were served complimentary bowls of snack mix to go with our drinks. Half of the seating has views of the river. I would highly recommend enjoying a drink here.

Nice bar in Chateau Frontenac, just a bit pricey.

We had a drink here for the first time in March 2025 as part of our vacation/anniversary.

They have a menu of signature drinks & plenty of other options to choose from & the bartenders are very skilled & polite.

They offer you potato chips & another mix of crunchy snacks while you wait.

We had a mojito that was pretty good & the drink of the day with rosemary that was set on fire, which was unique & pretty good too.

$55 for 2 drinks, we find to be a bit excessive but overall the space is nice with staff who were very helpful & professional.

Worth a visit for a special occasion drink.

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.

Le 1608 est une expérience à partager avec des amis de qualité. Pierre-Olivier, serveur & mixologue a su préparer des breuvages uniques & classiques avec classe. N'hésitez pas à demander ce spécialiste pour un expérience hors pair.

Great spot to drop in when visiting the Frontenac. They don't take reservations so it can be a wait. The entrance is shared with their other restaurants so getting your name down was hectic & confusing. We weren't sure who to talk too, so just go up to whoever looks like a hostess & ask how to get a table. The cocktails are pricey but definitely worth it. They are extremely well balanced & unique. Whether you like strong liquor or light drinks, they'll have something for you. Our server was helpful & polite. If you sit towards the back, you'll get a nice view of the river.

Amazing bar!! The cocktail menu offers some truekt unique inspired options. Neat & Clean is my favorite of the night. Perfect atmosphere. Bar starts to pick up after 10pm so plan accordingly to get in. Service is amazing & staff are all super friendly & helpful with recommendations!
