The Bar appears distinctly vintage with its wood walls and checkered flooring complete with an ambiance reminiscent of dimly lit bars in Cuba. <\/span><\/p>\n

Must try is the Batangas Old Fashioned, which swaps in Maker\u2019s Mark infused with Kapeng Barako (a Filipino coffee variety). They have a wide range of finger food offerings from local favorites like\u00a0pork\u00a0sisig<\/em>\u00a0croquetas<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/em>Sriracha butter duck wings to partner with your drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does a hotel bar get on the list, you may ask?<\/span><\/p>\n

The inspectors from Forbes\u2019 stay at over 1,100 hotels anonymously and evaluate them based on 900 standards for the guide\u2019s annual Star Ratings. It\u2019s not\u00a0only about how great the drinks or the atmosphere is at the bar but also look about the beverage program, presentation, and service, which all have to be at an exceptional level.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Forbes, the hotel bars that made the list scored top marks on standards related to elements of luxury. For example, inspectors checked to see if the beverages had a distinctive presentation, the snacks were high quality, the napkins were linen or cotton, and the overall bar experience was impressive.<\/p>\n

Food and beverage quality standards are also given priority measuring whether the cocktails are well-balanced and served at the correct temperature.<\/p>\n

The hotel bars of The Peninsula Beverly Hills and The Peninsula Chicago also made the list.<\/span><\/p>\n
