WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT CLOCK BAR

Patrick Heig

Citysearch

Clock Bar at The Westin St. Francis plays second fiddle to Michael Mina restaurant--and that's precisely how its creator (Michael Mina) planned it. Named for the historic hotel lobby's Great Magenta Grandfather Clock, this newcomer has found its niche as a less formal option for grabbing an impromptu cocktail and a bite. Interiors conjure a mod-ish lounge and an first-class airport bar: Expect richly hued translucent columns, low-slung chairs and mixology-grade cocktails like the Chartreuse Swizzle and the Breakfast Fizz (made with egg whites and orange marmalade), plus Mina-tizers like truffled popcorn and lobster corn dogs. The space retains a unique sense of cool enjoyed by mostly mature, well-heeled hotel guests and downtown types.

 

Hope to see you there!

 

Cheers,

Heather
