Drink Cheap at The Raymond in the Name of History

Walter Raymond's son Arthur recalls a room referred to as The Parlor in the Royal Raymond: "An area facing a large bay window in the main rotunda that was known as the 'Amen Corner' and a number of cronies gathered there every evening to swap stories, gossip, smoke, and enjoy their highballs." (from Arthur E. Raymond's A Gentleman of the Old School: Walter Raymond and the Raymond Hotel.)

In honor of The Parlor, the 1886 Bar at The Raymond restaurant is introducing Parlor Hour every Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7:00 pm. Patrons can enjoy the following: 

• Champagne Punch for $6 by the glass. This punch is usually served for groups of six or more, and includes an assortment of Strawberry Shrub bubbled over with Champagne and served from a teapot.

• $4 bottled artisan beers.
• A selection of $5 wines by the glass.
• A daily special hand-crafted artisan cocktail for $7.
