This bar and restaurant at the Maritime Hotel features sumptuous wooden banquettes and a large, curving bar spanning one wall, is a great place to meet for a drink or to hold an early cocktail event. But beware! After 8 p.m. and on weekends, the place is utterly packed and getting a drink can be a bit like trying to win a prizefight; you've got to knock out your opponent to get noticed! On warm evenings, drinking and dining al fresco in the patio garden can either be beautiful or frightening, depending on how much you love overcrowding and endless waits for service.
