Review of The Seelbach Hilton Hotel

Myself and 3 others went to The Old Seelbach

Myself and 3 others went to The Old Seelbach
bar for drinks last night. The bar has been remodeled, the dark wood, intimate lighting, and warm, cozy environment has been replaced with a contemporary, loud, and obtrusive environment.
Our servers, Zach, took our initial drink order but never returned for following orders. We had to go to the bar for other drinks. Zach was at the bar during one our trips, apologized for not coming back to our table and again never returned. This "high end" bar served a bottled beer to a woman with no offer of a glass. The Sauvignon Blanc choices consisted of Rodney Strong and Kim Crawford, two terrible and cheap choices. The wine was warm, the glass was warm, and the wine tasted as if the bottle had been open for an extended amount of time. It was so bad, I traded the wine for a Miller Lite. My friend ordered a Maker's 46 and diet, the bar had run out of 46, the order was changed to Maker's and diet. This is bourbon bar in Kentucky that is out of a local bourbon. Once the drink arrived, the diet Coke was flat and thus started our trips to the bar. My husband ordered a Sweet Water IPA bottle, received a Sweet Water pale ale off tap. Upon the second order of the IPA, he had to ask for a glass.
Once Zach did return to out table, I inquired about the Hummus. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was made in house, only to be informed food was no longer being served. At this time our bill was presented. I was so put off by the experience, it was difficult to justify the spending of the money.
We use to look forward to going to The Old Seelbach to listen to jazz and have some drinks after this experience none of us will be returning.
