Hotel Casa 425 Lounge and Bar

Randomly found this place after getting Yogurtland with two of my girlfriends. I was in the mood for something refreshing and fruity, and Adam (the bartender) suggested I try The Voilet. It was exactly what I had in mind - not too sweet, and definitely refreshing!

Everything we tried was delicious, including the Uva Bella (if you don't like your drinks too sweet, ask for this without the simple syrup), Moscow Mule, Casa Margarita, and French Martini.

Adam did a great job recommending cocktails based on our preferences, and also let us sample some drinks that he was experimenting with. Would give it 4.5-5 stars if they had fresh jalapeños so that we could have tried the Berry Spicy Margarita (we were there early, so you would think everything would be available), but overall we had a great experience.

The lounge at Hotel Casa 425 is simple, modern, not to hip but not to square, reasonable place for a drink.

I can't give a great review because the people working the bar come off a little arrogant.   I'm paying them not the reverse.

I was excited to have cocktails with the girls on a friday night. The martini menu looked good and so did their specialty cocktails. We came in after happy hour, bummer because the drinks are realllllly pricey afterwards. We went to the patio and sat at a table we were served pretty quickly. The staff are friendly and I liked that the server gave us a recommendation and also said what we were ordered was pretty sweet and we could try something else like it that wasnt as sweet. I really liked her honesty. We finally were able to move by a fire place. The patio is really cute but it closes really early (pretty understandable considering it is a hotel with guests) but we had to down our drinks that we had just received without warning. There is hardly any space inside to sit so we ended up leaving a 14 dollar martini behind (well, half of it. okay less than half. I downed it before I left. Dont judge me). The cocktails are really sweet and not as good as the description. I would go back though for happy hour to see how that is.
