Though we were here on Tuesday so not sure how it is on the weekends. For the most part, the lounge had a lot of chairs and we were able to spread out. It's located at the end of the terminal by gate 29 I believe. It's right by the escalator that goes down to the exit/baggage claim. When you walk in, you will scan your boarding pass and Priority Pass card, then select the amount of guests who will be entering and they will have to scan their boarding passes also. There are no attendants to scan you in like at other lounges. There were 3 hot food items and a salad bar available. There's hard liquor and juices for you to mix your own drinks. If not, there's soda, wine, beer, water, espresso and a coffee machine available. The restroom has one urinal and a private room for the toilet. There is a monitor by the restrooms with flight info.

When I saw that the 1608 Bar within the renowned Fairmount Château Frontenac landmark hotel was one…read moreof the top cocktail places in all of Canada, I knew that I needed to pay it a visit. The hotel itself had also long been regarded as a must-see in Quebec City, though my friend and I found its lobby underwhelming. The bar, however, was in the back of the main floor and offered stunning views of the St. Lawrence River. We approached the host stand and asked if it would be possible to get a table for two on short notice and without a reservation. While we did not get seats with a view, we were thrilled to secure what seemed to be the lone remaining table. The room was cylinder in shape with a circular bar right in the center. The walls were either windows overlooking the River or bookcases of the classics. There were exposed lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling that provided the only real illumination in the dimly-lit bar. The place had a mix of industrial, rustic, and masculine vibes. It felt almost like a scientist's lair or a professor's library. Our server, Henry, was very refined, yet personable. He helped my friend navigate the mocktail list and ensure she was going to get a concoction that met her needs. Meanwhile, I loved perusing the cocktail list that explained the inspiration behind each of their custom beverages. I immediately selected the Apex, as it included many of my favorite ingredients. The martini had been inspired by The Great Gatsby and was composed of Bistro Vodka, ginger, a passion fruit and vanilla cordial, Suze, pineapple bitters, sesame, and prosecco. The bright yellow drink was topped with a hefty scoop of a ginger-lemongrass foam. The sesame, ginger, and lemongrass gave the drink an exotic, Asian flavor that was as delicious as it was unique. In addition to our drinks, the bar was nice enough to give each table a bowl of potato chips. The couple next to us was going through their snack fairly quickly, so, despite being full from dinner, I figured I needed to at least try a solitary chip. Sadly, they were just plain and nothing out of the ordinary, though they were a tasty rendition for sure. The 1608 Bar was a fun, intriguing, and gorgeous place. It certainly earned its spot of number 41 on Canada's 100 Best Bars list, for its creativity in particular. I would highly recommend grabbing a cocktail there, but I would suggest making a reservation first, as I think that we had just been lucky to get the last table.

However, 1608 Bar is accessible to visitors. After a day of exploring the city, we stopped in for a drink and were rewarded with a beautiful bar area with lots of comfortable seating and a world class view of the river. The drinks were imaginative and lovely. Snacks were promptly served, and the wait staff couldn't have been kinder. Highly recommend.

Last visit was July 2016 but will be returning again this summer…read more First the cigar prices are ridiculously high, so if you're a seasoned smoker who keeps a travel humidor or cigar case on hand you'd probably still love this place. You can buy one stick to adhere to typical "cut" cost/protocol and avoid their grossly inflated prices. If you're not one who regularly keeps or smoke cigars the cost of smoking here may be a bit much. Again some of their sticks are 25-50% above retail so it can be quite costly but if your only planning on having one smoke 25$ will be around what it would cost you. It's the only cigar shop I know of in Québec and the setting is pretty nice. It was two years ago but there were two young waitresses, one working the bar the other the floor, and they were both friendly. It wasn't very busy so they conversed with two other patrons and myself most of the evening. The one thing that keeps this place from being 5 stars is the exorbitant cost of cigars, that said I love it there.

When they heard I was an English speaker they did a few jokes in English, which was nice. The performances were high energy and good vibes. Nice to have a drag king in addition to the queens. And lots of Rihanna-great beats! The audience was in a good mood and friendly. No meat market feel-also no other singles that I saw when I was there. Everyone appeared to have come with friends or on a date. The place was full, but not oppressively so. As I was leaving it was getting more crowded with a line outdoors and at the entrance. I didn't expect to see as many women as I did too-a nice surprise. The audience felt straighter than I'm used to in a gay bar in the States: 2 bridal showers when I was there and several male-female tables I assume were couples. Kind of gave me a spectator feel rather than being strictly "family," but on the upside it was very welcoming of everyone. Enjoyed my rum punch. I was surprised that they cashed me out after my first drink...maybe that's standard in Quebec? I'm used to running a tab and likely would've stayed later and ordered a second drink or food if that had been the case. I was surprised at how big the place was. People were both seated outside and in another room I saw on my way to the bathroom. The restrooms are down the stairs and then up a short flight, which I imagine can be tricky in high high heels and a tight skirt once sloshed. Go before you have your first drink It's a great time and place to visit-whether queer (like me) or just appreciating the glitz, glam, and talent of the performers.
