1608 Bar

The most disappointing cocktail experience of my four days in Quebec City. We had a whisky based cocktail that was pretty good but our other cocktail, the'Rose de Renard', was terrible. It was unbalanced & essentially$28 fruit punch. To make matters worse, the main bar is also closed for renovations & instead of seating you in the restaurant space with water views you get crammed into a tiny back bar area. Only half of the 1608 menu is available during this time (despite the hostess telling us everything would be the same). Overall very disappointing experience.

It was a neat bar spot for a late night. Beautiful setting & fireplaces by the bar. It's neat reading through the back stories of the drinks with my wife. Added to the experience of old Quebec City 😁. We especially liked the SOIE.

We didn't stay at the hotel so we found indoor parking about a short distance away. 😊

A true experience with a mystic feeling vibe. The whole bartending team are well experienced with a pleasant & friendly personality. They had some incredible signature cocktails.

Also some specially distilled/bottled whiskey made just for this hotel. Highly recommend even just to grab 1 drink.

Staying at the Fairmont in Quebec City & decided to stay in. About a 20m wait led us to seats which were ok but then bar stools opened up. We had a mojito & le rose & le renard cocktails along with some food. The mojito was nicely muddled with the mint. The other cocktail had different layers that continued to amaze including a bit of cucumber. Typical bar food it wasn't. Lake Brome duck croquettes were crusty balls with fabulous duck meet inside with nicely spiced sauce. The focaccia was good. But the surprise was the queen Elizabeth pastry. & in a good manner. This date based brown pastry was nicely warmed up with a sauce & fresh fruit. Delicious.

A must-visit bar in Quebec City!
Bar 1608, located within the Château Frontenac, is simply stunning, beautifully decorated with rich wooden panel walls & elegant moldings that reflect the château's historic charm. It is the perfect spot to unwind after a busy afternoon of sightseeing.

The cocktail menu is a work of art in itself. It is beautifully illustrated, with creative storytelling & detailed descriptions for each drink. The cocktails are every bit as beautiful as their photos, & they deliver on taste: creative, well-balanced, & with a touch of whimsy.
•
Of course, it is not the cheapest place in town, but every sip feels worth it. True to Fairmont style, they know how to do it right. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon here & will definitely be back.

Bar 1608 ofrece un ambiente moderno en el corazón de Québec, pero la experiencia resulta algo irregular. La selección de bebidas es amplia, aunque los cócteles no siempre están bien balanceados.

El local puede resultar ruidoso y el servicio, aunque amable, a veces es lento. Ideal para una salida casual, pero no destaca por su calidad ni comodidad, dejando la sensación de que podría mejorar en varios aspectos para ser una opción más atractiva.
