Bar Pendry

Bar Pendry’s afternoon tea service is the type of spot you reserve for a bachelorette party with your friend from college who yells “Woo!" Their Sunday High Tea (which includes a boozy option) is full of groups enjoying champagne at 11am, a DJ spinning (sometimes very loud) music, and a crowd of tourists constantly walking by the windows. The space is small, and right off the lobby of the hotel on the main floor. All this can lead to more chaos than you might normally expect during afternoon tea, but the food, unique tea-based cocktails, and the crackling fireplace are worth checking out for a celebration with your most noise-tolerant friends and family.
