    Old fashioned

    Very good drinks! I got the chinola cloud and my husband an old fashioned. Great service and great ambience Dark and moody!

    I walked by Catalyst earlier this summer and knew immediately I wanted to check out. Catalyst is a gorgeous addition to the Farnam Hotel with great indoor and outdoor space. After the Gold Rush was our favorite cocktail...we may have enjoyed several... They do have heat lamps available in the outdoor cabana areas so they can be enjoyed during the cooler months, the outdoor fireplace is also a nice touch. My only comment is the outdoor area had some old cigarette butts and leaves built up, for a place like Catalyst, I would have expected that to be taken care of. The bartenders were really friendly and attentive, we have a great time.

    Visited Catalyst for the first time with a group of friends last night. To get to Catalyst, we were able to walk into the front doors of the Farnham Hotel and straight back down a long hallway to the bar. The interior is very upscale and sophisticated. The outdoor area is also nice with fireplaces and various seating options. The specialty cocktail menu looked good, though I ordered a gimlet and thought it was delicious, very well made and balanced. My friend ordered fries which I tried, and they were very crispy and salted the perfect amount, so I would definitely get these again! The bartenders were great and extremely friendly! They were great for accommodating a large group, and remembered all of us when ordering more drinks. For an upscale-feeling bar, people were in a range of casual to nicer outfits. I thought the drinks may be expensive, as no prices were listed on the menus. For two gimlets, the price was around $24. This is a great date night spot, with more intimate alcoves to be able to talk and the darker romantic feel. The couches and outdoor area are also perfect for smaller groups. Definitely a nice spot if you're looking for a nicer place downtown with great drinks!

    We stayed at the Farnum Hotel (an Autograph Collection hotel) and not only loved the hotel but the gorgeous Catalyst bar located in the back. It is a classy, beautiful space with a cozy indoor vibe and an amazing outdoor space centered around a big gas fire. It's located close to the Old Market and will be even better when the park front development is finished in front of the hotel. The bartender was awesome and mixed our drinks perfectly. We ordered a charcuterie board and the octopus appetizer. They were both incredible. I highly recommend stopping in for a drink or bite even if you're not staying at the hotel. It does not disappoint!

    The Paloma Fresca
    Sarah E.

    Came here on a Friday night while we were in town. My husband got an old fashioned and I got their Paloma Fresca. Both were very good! The ambiance was great - very intimate and romantic. They have a great outdoor seating area with a fire place - it was the rowdier side of the bar that night so we stayed inside and sat on the comfortable velvet couches. They also have a nice selection of bites to eat - everything was on the pricer end, but the service was great, so I would say it was worth it for a nice treat.

    They don't open until 5, but their door was open at 4:40. The internet says they open at 4pm!

    Waited 20 minutes to be served and then the drinks were sad. Ambience is great but the drinks don't match
