My Cosmos were very good. The seats were comfortable. The bartender was friendly, and I enjoyed the company of friends.
A small town touch added to the experience. I could hear the music coming from the room next door, people in interesting Halloween costumes were running in and out. All this excitement was a benefit for Roller Derby. Does Modesto have a team or to they want their own team? I did not know Roller Derby still was around!
Good hotel bar - plenty of comfortable seating & televisions. They offer a few good wines, but no vanilla vodka. The bartender, Lee, is my favorite. She's always friendly & quick with the service. The hotel cafe food menu is also available in the bar, but for no apparent reason, they charge a dollar or so more for the same items offered in the cafe.
Review Source:Whenever I stay at the Doubletree in Modesto, I stop here before retiring. I read a book, a magazine, or do some sudoku while having beer, followed by wine and sparkling water. The lounge was renovated earlier this year. The wonderful bartendress Donna is still there. She's a gem. Â The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that some other patrons apparently ordered from the "food menu". All of a sudden I was assaulted by a smell of fish. It reminded me of a school cafeteria fish stick smell. It turned out to be the calamari. Eek!
At least tnhe smell vanished quickly. Or my brain just adjusted to the smell!
