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

If you're looking for a place that's well worth the hype, this is it. It's incredibly popular, so be sure to make a reservation in advance, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The location is fantastic, & the atmosphere & service are top-notch. We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience & would highly recommend it.

Beautiful hotel!!! But the restrooms were not clean! For an upscale hotel - I would've expected cleaner facilities. 1608 Bar was very'speak-easy' & beautiful but feel the pricing for small plates & drinks was over priced. All & all was good to see a small portion of this iconic historical hotel.

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.
