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.

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

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.
