Finding herself out of the particular gin I was drinking the Bartender brazenly downpoured (substituted a cheaper liquor for the one I ordered) my gin martini in the hopes I wasn't watching. Forget ordering a drink not off their vodka soaked 'specialty cocktail' menu, an inquiry for an Americano is only met with blank stares from the staff. It's unfortunate, you really want to like this bar, you want the staff to be passionate about their jobs, you want your lemon twist to spray oil all over your drink and not have the texture of a desiccated hangnail. A bar that rests on it's laurels is going to stay where it is which would be great if this one was back celebrating the repeal of prohibition where it belongs; alas this one is stuck in hotel-bar cliche hell.
Pros: Architecture
Cons: Staff
