Incredibly hard to choose just one drink! So, say, don't limit yourself. Come next time with time to spare. Bar Confidential & Hemingway's Retreat were fantastic cocktails. Served with chips & rice crackers. We also had the hummus plate which was delish. Great snacks to enjoy on Friday afternoon post Chateau Frontinac tour. If you can read French, there are plenty of editions of La Comédie humaine.

After touring the iconic Château Frontenac, our group of 5 went to 1608 for some drinks. The custom cocktails were beautiful & delicious. I went for the 1943-it's a smoked cocktail with a lightly smoked scotch, that was balanced & delicious from the first sip to the last. Excellent service for a larger group & an atmosphere of elegance, but we fit in anyway.

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.

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.

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!

Très beau bar cosy pour un repas en amoureux 🍸

La planche 5 charcuteries 3 fromages est parfaite si vous avez une grande faim. Avec un cocktail alcoolisé ou non.

Soit attablé au bar, & des discussions intéressantes avec le barman

Ou bien assis en salle avec une jolie vue sur le Saint Laurent & les éclairages sur le château

Good place of Québec 👌

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!!
