They probably wanted bars that were actually open.

Might as well be. The only appeal left was they were 24 hours and had the balcony.

Now upstairs might open a couple days a week and the bar itself has restaurant hours. 11am-11pm or something and only 5 days a week.

Hard to believe someone who was beloved by her staff, and cared so much, can't find employees.

Not sure how Hot Tin made this list - I wasn't very impressed. Maybe I went on a bad night.

Really? I enjoy Hot Tin, but it's been a couple years since I've been. Best view of the city, IMO.

But she was the first to require covid vaccine cards for "the health of her employees".

Manolito is a great spot, but they don’t have much room at all.

Yeah, it doesn't really feel like a bar, I guess because it's so open to the rest of the lobby.

Weird that Cure didn't make the list, IMO.

It just has the feel of a rather generic hotel lobby bar - with $25 drinks. Woo Wee.

I’m not saying the drinks are bad or anything but if it wasn’t at the brand new Four seasons it would be just another bar. The selection is nowhere near the quality of a place like Cure. Looks good but nothing to write home about in terms of drinks.
