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.

We had a great experience - excellent drinks & a great view. Service was terrific.
Be sure to get a window table if you can.

Great cocktails in a beautiful historic hotel with wonderful views of the saint lawrence river.

Beautiful interior with a great view. The cocktails are expensive but that's expected at the Fairmont. They were well made & the oysters were fresh. Definitely worth stopping by for a drink.

We had a drink there & the cocktails were you uniquely created on site. The view & the atmosphere are amazing. Cocktail prices are higher as one would expect from a tourist destination of the caliber, but the experience was still worth it.

Google seems to think that this is a restaurant. This is a bar that serves appetizers. I think this is supposed to be reserved for hotel guests but we were served & were not staying at the hotel.

The cocktail offerings were unique & tasty. The drinks were served in appropriate glassware with single large ice cubes, where appropriate. This is a true cocktail bar.

We were served complimentary bowls of snack mix to go with our drinks. Half of the seating has views of the river. I would highly recommend enjoying a drink here.
