The Bar/Lounge at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel

"(Outside the realm of country kitsch but no less cutesy are the names of the restaurant and bar, Eat and Drink"

"Pre-Prohibition cocktails and moonshine are highlights as Mason Bar"

"Rooms cater to the traveling business crowd with fax machines, coffee makers, and massaging showerheads to kill the beating induced by the first floor bar, which has a surprising late night crowd"

"Meanwhile, the restaurant and bar, Mason's, serves up Southern-inspired brasserie dishes such as espresso-rubbed beef tenderloin with tarragon creamed corn, and has an extensive bourbon and moonshine selection"

"But after a recent renovation, it’s back with some swagger, especially at the new Mason’s restaurant and bar, a Southern-style brasserie decorated tastefully with accents of Mason jars"

"Concierge-level rooms are more spacious and upscale and include complimentary breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres in an elegant lounge with a view of the city"

"The hotel’s restaurant is a worthy stop (as is the main lounge, which serves a signature concoction of whiskey, ginger liqueur, watermelon and ginger beer)"

"Premium rooms add access to a newly revamped lounge with a fireplace and breakfast, better ergonomic desk chairs and Vanderbilt vistas"
