The Cellar Club Bar

On My 15, 2024, my wife, daughter and I went out to brunch for my wife’s birthday. Afterwards, we decided to stop by the Cellar Club Bar at the Biltmore Hotel for a cocktail. We had one drink each and sat in the bar talking for a while, before heading home. While driving home, my wife noticed that a service charge was included on the bill that I had not noticed earlier. I tipped the bartender appropriately when I paid the bill. I had not thoroughly checked the bill for a service charge when I received it, because I’ve only seen service charges at touristy type locations. The last time I was at an establishment that included a service charge, the server was kind enough to mention it when he presented the bill. I never expected this at a nice place like the Biltmore Hotel. I totally understand that it was my fault for not checking the bill before presenting my credit card, but it still left a bad feeling in all of us about this experience at the Biltmore Hotel.

The atmosphere is very inviting. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Carla, served us. She is very friendly and attentive. Only went for one drink but we felt very welcomed by her that we stayed a few hrs. If you go, name sure you al her for a whiskey sour. Her recipe is delicious!
