"Throughout the afternoon, the cavernous Ace Hotel Lobby is filled with remote workers feeding on free wifi. After the workday is over, however, people start drinking, and the place turns into a big group hang. There are lots of couches and comfortable chairs, and it tends to be dark, loud, and just the right level of crowded. Stop by when you’re looking for a nice bar where you don’t have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with people and shout for your drinks." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
"What if a visiting friend wants to go to clubbing on a Friday night? Is it okay to take them to the spacious, lively lobby bar at the Ace Hotel and tell them it’s a club? Yes. One-hundred percent. If everyone has fun, what’s the harm? Is that a couch you can nap on? Why, yes, it is." - bryan kim
"The people-watching alone makes the Ace Hotel’s Lobby Bar worth a visit. The roomy, versatile space serves as a bustling office for many creative types and freelancers during the day. As evening rolls around, an afterwork crowd shows up and sometimes the space can feel like a nightclub later on in the night with DJs. In addition to cocktails and surprisingly affordable beer, there’s a Stumptown coffee just off the lobby. It’s easy to imagine spending an entire evening on one of the cozy couches or chairs." - Paul Schrodt
"A cozy and romantic bar best enjoyed in the early hours, offering a quiet atmosphere for nightcaps and conversations." - Ann Shields
"If you consult on your friend’s non-dairy soft-serve delivery app, or are generally “in tech,” then you’ve probably had a meeting in the lobby of the Ace Hotel. Along with some standing room by the bar, the huge space has comfortable couches and armchairs, and it’s never too loud, at least until the DJs start spinning later in the night." - Matt Tervooren
