    The BEST bartenders in town are Haniel and Nicole. Service was incredibly amazing, vibe was outstanding. Great place to stay and chill.

    Tara B.

    It was so nice to have a functioning bar and food options in a hotel, again. The food served here comes from the tapas restaurant and is good. The churros are amazing! The feel of the place is upscale bar, but friendly and unpretentious. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender and had a very enjoyable time.

    Chocolate ganache and cheesecake

    Nicole was really sweet and helpful. Great selection of desserts and the ganache and cheesecake are a must try! Great ambience perfect for a drink.

    Menu

    We got a latte, espresso, martini , the San Sebastian cheesecake, Creama Catalana, and the chocolate ganache! Service was fantastic! Very relaxing vibes, great music.

    Espresso martini

    Great bartender amazing drink good vibes and delicious desserts 10/10 would recommend. I tend to stay out of the city because I'm a country home body but would come back for this place!

The escape room is Alice In Wonderland themed and includes three drinks as part of the experience. Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

We stopped in for drinks and Tina started us off with outstanding customer service. She was incredibly welcoming and made the experience great from the very beginning. We made our way through an impressive lineup of cocktails, including Get Him to the Fenugreek, Extra Fancy, Apple Bottom Beets (one of my favorites!), Barley and Me, Tropical Gangsta, Que Pop Limon Hunters, Mo Mole, Mo Problems, and more. Every drink was unique, beautifully crafted, and absolutely outstanding. Apple Bottom Beets was definitely a standout for me, but there honestly wasn't a bad cocktail in the bunch. We ended the night with Laura closing us out, and her service was just as exceptional. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, everything was 10/10. If you're looking for superb cocktails, creative flavors, and fantastic service, PCH is definitely a place you need to check out!

They have a full selection of liquor, plus a cocktail menu, and killer tap list of mostly local draft beer. I absolutely loved their glassware too! The bartender was very friendly; I failed to notice the tap list above the bar was different from the menu so I was glad that was pointed out for my second beer. Prices are reasonable for the experience of being here. The other clientele at the bar were also friendly, it has a neighborhood vibe but is welcoming to all.
