This was a fun stop if you wanted to go into the hotel & are not staying there. The drinks were good - but very expensive & not anything exceptional compared to other options in the city. Staff are friendly, but it is definitely like moving the herds through. I think it does well simply because it is in the hotel.

Due to the history of the building & the sheer jaw-dropping splendor of the exterior, it's views & decor inside its worth a visit.

Yes you'll pay a little more for the drinks & food but you don't go there unaware.

Overall it's worth a visit just for what it is versus going there to try Michelin food & innovative cocktails, there are other places in Quebec City that are worth a visit for those elements.

We visited Bar 1608 a few times during our stay in Quebec City. All the staff were wonderful, the drinks were perfect, & the atmosphere was great. Special shout out to waiter Pierre-Oliver for exceptional service two nights in a row.

Beautiful bar in a beautiful hotel. Sadly I was a bit disappointed with service & food portions. Our waiter, although pleasant, was not overly friendly. He seemed a be snobbish, & I had the slight impression we were inconvenienceing him. When I asked for something that wasn't on the menu he shut me down with an abrupt No. Kinda rude, especially when your paying over $20 a drink. As for the Charcuterie board ~ it was tasty but portion of cheese was pathetic...not worth $47 +tax.
Otherwise, it's a very warm & inviting atmosphere in the bar itself, & fun to watch the mixologists at work.

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.
