The Carthay Circle Lounge offers cocktails that are relevant to the era and handcrafted by expert bartenders using the art of mixology – a focus on glassware and drink-specific ice to enhance both flavor and presentation, and a unique table-side service presentation for signature beverages including martinis and classic punches.  Selections include unique California craft beers from smaller boutique breweries; a broad assortment of wines by the glass, with a strong focus on top California wineries; and handcrafted purified seltzer sodas dispensed from antique seltzer bottles and muddled with seasonal fresh fruit.
