This is one of the most beautiful bars in the world--huge arched mirrors, marble and brass bar, statuary, an amazing ceiling. That said, and proving that you can spend five million dollars on a restoration and still get yahoos for customers, I didn't really appreciate the bozos who crowded in next to me, started rotating the brass rail--to the annoyance of EVERYONE at the bar, and then proceeded on hitting on me--as if they hadn't been too annoying to live already. I get it that they probably spend a lot of money in the place and their business is more important than mine, but it would have been REALLY CLASSY if the management had made a note that they were annoying me--maybe when I moved my stool three feet to the left--and moved me to a table.
