Editorial Review for Bar 888 – by Lorraine Sanders

In Short
On the lobby level of the InterContinental San Francisco, this chic watering hole beckons patrons to congregate in its small, but sophisticated-looking lounge area or on high-backed seats surrounding the rectangular bar. Artfully displayed bottles of grappa, the house specialty and an Italian after-dinner tipple made from the skins of leftover wine-making grapes, hover in cases overhead. Traditional and flavored varieties of this potent beverage, as well as grappa-based cocktails, occupy the menu.
