Le Bar - Sofitel Grand Sopot

For drinks in Sopot, this is the grand gesture. Le Bar sits at the heart of the legendary Grand Hotel, wrapped in a modern interpretation of Art Deco and furnished for the lost art of lingering. Order a signature cocktail - perhaps the Martini à La Mode with orange blossom and honey, the truffle-vodka Madame Tartufo, or the theatrical Fidel Castro with rum, cherry, coffee, balsamic and cigar smoke. The list also runs deep in Champagne, French wine, cognac and whisky, while polished snacks, Polish cheeses and caviar make a second round easy to justify. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, live piano, guitar or harp gives the room exactly the right amount of ceremony, with the sea beyond the windows. Come after a walk on the pier, take a velvet chair, and allow the hotel’s history to do the rest. This is not merely somewhere to have a drink; it is somewhere to remember having one.
