Ask whether the bar admits people who are staying elsewhere and whether that changes for a private event. Read the reservation confirmation for arrival instructions. The entrance may be through the lobby, a restaurant or a separate lift. Share those directions with friends so the group meets at the right place.
Look at the seating, menu and scheduled entertainment. A lobby bar may suit a short meeting; a booked table may work better for a longer date. Ask about music if hearing each other matters. Find out how long the reservation lasts and whether there is a minimum order. During the visit, follow staff directions about guest-only areas and use the facilities open to bar customers.
