Since this bar was right outside the door of my room, I happen to make several visits.  Most of them were very positive.\n\nMost of the bars at the Phoenician will make a good mojito.  This place makes the best.  It is one of the best mojitos I had in a long time.\n\nThe bar is very nice.  Looks like something you would find in San Francisco.  Very large marble bar with high bar stools and very nice furnishings and a large out-door area for sitting and relaxing, especially toward dusk.\n\nThe bar also has a fine selection of cigars.  I don't think you can smoke there.  I did not eat at the bar.  They did serve a selection of tasty nuts though.\n\nThe staff was pretty friendly, except for one young guy.  I guess he just got hired or something.  That guy made a big deal about two of my guest not wearing sleeves?  Not like we are in the UAE or Saudi Arabia!  Any way, did not make a big deal since my room was next door, but still kind of weird.  I know it is a 5-star hotel, but it is summer, the pool is right out the door and they were wearing nice tank-tops.  What ever.  I still liked the bar.\n\nIf you need to make a choice in hotels, this is the place!
