Not bad for a hotel bar, but if you're not staying here it would probably be best not to make it a destination or even a stop-over. Â There are 8 comfortable stools at the bar and there are several lounge tables with chairs to match.
The bar is a part of the hotel lobby and is void of any privacy partition. Â It's a great place to track guest movements because you have a perfect vantage point of the lobby elevators.
Prices are average for the area. Â It's nice not having to pay $9 for a Chivas Regal on the rocks. Â And it's a decent place for a nightcap if you're already staying at the Hilton (or hope to stay in it...wink wink).
After the club it's the hotel party...
Looks: Â The actual bar is beautiful, backlit with soft colored lights that change on a timer. Â The layout, however, is absurd. Â The bar is 15 yards away from the hotel door and registration desk, with nothing in between. Â Who wants to see tired travelers hauling luggage? Â Put up a curtain or something. Â
Crowd: Â Dismal. Â At 7:30, we were 2 of 4 people there. Â I can't imagine this place attracting much besides hotel guests.
Food: Â Only appetizers. Â We got the white bean hummus, which was good, but not great. Â The sliders at another table looked very tasty.
Value: Â Appetizers are $6. Â Drinks are cheap during happy hour (4-7), but expensive otherwise.
Service: Â Excellent. Â They charged the wrong price for my beer, but they took it off completely when we mentioned the mistake.
Miscellaneous: Â They have live music on Wednesdays, and the guy doing acoustic covers was actually quite talented. Â (No tip jar... Jack needs a manager.) Â They have a martini flight, so you can try 3 different martinis for $8 during HH.
Verdict: Â I'd go back on a Wednesday to hear Jack and try the sliders, but let's just say this place isn't making it into my rotation.
