Review of Blu Bar on 36 @ The Shangri La

If I had to describe this place in one word I would describe it as CLASSY! Whenever I want to go out or catch up with friends I always recommend Blue Bar level 36 inside the Shangri-La Hotel. If you are a cocktail lover and you want some beautiful decadent cocktails and don't mind paying top dollar for it (prices range from 12 - 25.00 per cocktail) and sip and enjoy the view in the lounge bar ( which provides you with bowls of nuts and crackers to wash down your cocktails with - I think this place should be put on everyone's cocktail bar of first choice. It's better to arrive around 9 p.m. and put your name down on the list to be seated in the lounge because of the view you can see the Harbour Bridge from one aspect and Circular Quay from another aspect) therefore if you want to sip and sit down in the lounge - get in first! Otherwise there are seats directly in front of the cocktail bar... but on Friday and Saturday night's the place is always busy with Hotel guests and out of towners wanting a nice place to sip cocktails and talk in a soft muted environment. This is my first choice cocktail bar for all of the reasons above and the excellent service friendly staff and impeccable surroundings. Of course I vote this 6 out of 5
