I have gone a few times now to the Redwood Room and every time it's been amazing! It's a gorgeous bar space. Recently went with a few friends for dinner & drinks. The bartender Jackie is the best! Very personable and gives great suggestions if you're undecided on a drink. It was my first time having their burger and it was delicious! 12/10 recommend! And ask for Jackie!

Rating based on service from bartenders. And drinks! Came in late around closing, the lounge seating and service was closed but the bartenders were very kind and accommodating to serve us even tho it was late. They are very knowledgeable in drinks. I got the lychee martini and it was great! U can bring the drinks up to ur room too if staying at the Sonesta.

Romantically dimmed bar in the hotel lobby of the Sonesta. I was staying in the hotel so this was very convenient. I tried the flatbread pizza and it was OK but the drinks were phenomenal. I came on a Thursday and vibed out to the live jazz band. I enjoyed myself so much, I came down the next evening and enjoyed the DJ playing some old school jams. Really enjoyed my stay too. Overall great experience.

Fantastic bar that emanates history and class. High ceilings, rich redwood paneling, original Gustav Klimt paintings, and elegant seating all heighten the experience. Drinks are excellent, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. There was a terrific live jazz ensemble when we were there on a Thursday evening. Definitely worth a visit!

The place is inside The Clift Hotel and it's a really nice lounge space with a lot of different types of seating. Went there for live jazz which they have every 1st and 3rd Wed (though I did hear they might change the schedule so tbd). The place was pretty empty probably because it was right after new years. Service was fast. Once one person in my party seated someone would come over with water. Ordered fries and a NA cocktail. I forgot what the cocktail was called but it was really nice and refreshing--chose the one that was a little bitter and sour (had lemon juice and egg whites). Fries were crispy. The acoustics in the place were a little too good since the live jazz sort of took up the whole space so sometimes when talking to someone directly across from you was a little difficult. It's a place with good vibes though so I think if you're in the area and it's a little chilly, it would be nice to pop in and get away from the cold.

With my daughter in tow, I made my triumphant return to the Redwood Room after fifteen years. The store is beautiful and actually restored to it's original splendor. The art work was in storage and replaced the digital arts that was unflattering. It's 6:00pm on a Friday night and we're the only patrons. Back in the day, the bar would have been 3 rows deep. Our lovely server offered her option the decline was post-COVID fallout. Nevertheless, we had a fantastic time!

Saturday night I wanted to come down and get the special entertainment. I saw the advertising for it right away, and put it on my list of things to do. Unfortunately I was just so exhausted from walking around. There's no way I could take the extra steps To take the elevator to go downstairs. We did go on Sunday tho . It was not as lively . I did Have a great time & great cocktails ! #5Stars

To be honest, a pretty cozy spot for conversation. Big group friendly when it's not busy, so weekdays preferable. We had a group of 24 slowly trickle in and Redwood Room was accommodating in allowing us to shift a few seats around to engage in conversation with one another. Drinks can be on the pricier end for sure and it is a higher end spot, but you're also paying for the ambiance and location. For us, not everyone can accommodate a large party and that's important to consider when gauging the price as well. Drinks were also decently tasty, despite being alcoholic.Kentucky Mule - think alcoholic lemonade but now remove the taste of alcohol. It's very dissipated where I could believe it's sparkling lemonade or something, however you definitely feel the alcohol inside you. Great Moscow mule and the copper mug looks pretty neat too.

Outstanding decor, but Manhattan was $25 and they used Jack Daniels! Buddy had an old fashion for $25. Unless you are on an expense account, I would skip it
