After a stressful train ride from Montreal, 1608 Bar filled my cup… literally! The drink menu is gorgeous! There's beautiful hand-painted photos of the drinks as well as a write up of the history, ingredients ands anything else. There's a cocktail specifically made for Anthony Bourdain. The Old Fashioned was out of this world-definitely in my top 5 ever! My server Henri was lovely & recommended some things for me to do while in QC! He was incredibly busy so it was nice to chat for a hot sec. The bar itself is masculine with dark wood, books & a fireplace. The views of the St. Lawrence are awesome (if you're seated near a window). The tables are tightly packed together so you so absolutely overhear (& possible even meet!) your table neighbors! The bathrooms are in the hotel (go to the 1st Christmas tree & turn left!) but there's several stalls. There's also several staff members if you get lost on your way back! Everyone speaks perfect English as well!

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.

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.

The atmosphere here is great! We enjoyed some fancy cocktails & mixed drinks on a Thursday night. Our waiter was very friendly & attentive to us. We didn't leave until almost 2am on a Thursday. Nice to have some night life within the hotel mid week. We would return for drinks again during our next visit. Highly recommend!

Had the most amazing gin & tonic at Bar 1608 in Chateau Frontenac. They make their own tonic. The drink is presented with a sprig of Rosemary, cucumber soaked in gin & juniper berries. It was the most refreshing gin & tonic I have ever had. Complimentary potato chips & popped corn are served with the drinks. & a special treat was seeing the chateau at night. Highly recommend.

We had two of their signature cocktails & the flavor was amazing. Probably the most elegant drinks we've had & highly recommend stopping by to experience it. The service by Jérémie was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, & his recommendations were shot on.
