Claremont Lobby Lounge & Bar

I have been here three times since opening. Had a different cocktail each time. All great ! Excellent service, décor and views.
The adjacent library room is awesome !!
Wonderful experience. I will come here often with my love and friends!!!

Usually I’m not one to gush, but this place was phenomenal! My boyfriend and I are both super busy during the semester, so before it started back up we decided to treat ourselves. So glad we did! The décor was modern and stylish (as others have said, but it bears repeating), but still manages to invite you to sit down and stay awhile. The views of the Bay Area are stunning — especially for natives who can sometimes forget how gorgeous it is here.
Attentive, quick service. The server made sure we always had what we needed, but allowed my boyfriend and I to enjoy each other’s company without lots of interruption. When it came to drinks, this place was top of the line. There were a large variety of delicious cocktails to choose, but what really impressed me was the sweeping selection of wine. I had the Robert Craig — a wine you don’t find everywhere — and I was not disappointed.
The best part for me was the gluten free food. Its often challenging for me to find a beautiful location with excellent drinks, a huge variety of wine AND delicious gluten free goodies! Sandwiches, cookies, biscuits! This place was a dream come true!

This place is awesome I truly recommended they have a 5 star customer service, and the barrel aged cocktails are to die for… You guys deserve a 10 way to go… And to top it off a great view. Good job !!

From start to finish we were impressed. The beautiful décor, the Bay Area views, the service, tea, and meal were all fantastic.
Upon walking into the hotel, let alone the Lobby Lounge & Bar you are drawn to the beautiful décor. So stylish, modern, and comfortable. We were promptly greeted and told our table would be ready soon, allowing us time to take in the awesome Bay view and admire the lovely details of the room.
Despite visiting for tea, my cousin and I began with a glass of champagne, followed by an impressive tea selection. This was my first time having afternoon tea and it was such a lovely experience! The selection, the tea gadgets, and the quality were all great, but the tower of treats and sandwiches made it that much more impressive.
Blueberry biscuits, lobster sandwiches, egg salad, smoked salmon on toast, curry spread, cookies, jam and key lime custard are enough to make anyone smile. Not to mention that all of this was made gluten free for me!
Such a wonderful, beautiful experience. I’m looking forward to doing it again in a couple weeks!

It took over 45 minutes to NOT get the drinks we ordered on a slow Sunday afternoon. You’d think a $ 50 tab on three drinks including an $ 8 Shirley Temple might have provided some incentive to the bartender, but he could not have been less interested. The young woman taking orders was very sweet and gets her own star. One star for the view.

Nice views!!! 4 stars is due to the location alone– Great drinks!!! This spot is definitely a great date spot to order a few drinks chill and get to know the other or a great spot to come on a date with The one you’re currently seeing. There are nice comfortable chairs and couches. The only downside is although we came at closing it took 30 mins to get our drinks baaahhh hummm bug a great people watching place.
