My friends and I came to the Queen Mary the other day for Dark Harbor. So we came early so we can go to the Observation Bar. We absolutely love it here, we've been here before and we always have a great time. We love beautiful it is after all these years. We love talking about the history of this …

A friend and I decided to check out the Observation Bar since the ship reopened recently. She has not lost her charm! Ship is as beautiful as ever...yes she needs some work, but the history! The bar was gorgeous!! Such a classy spot! It was $10 bucks to get on the ship, per person..$10 for parking. I wasn't upset about …

The drinks were fantastic! Went on a night where there was a love band, everyone was dancing, it was an absolute blast!!! Don't expect table service though. They brown nose some patrons and ignore the rest. If youre not one of the privileged elite you'll have to go to the bar to irder/pick up on your own.

We did eat but had a couple drinks. The art deco is so cool. Just thinking of the history there blows my mind. Churchill himself probably had drinks and cigars there. Make sure you check it out

We went to the Observation Bar and had an amazing time. The live music was fantastic, the drinks were so well made, the flatbreads were delicious, and the service …

Category: Cocktail Lounge. After a wonderful tour of the Queen Mary, both guided and self-guided, we retired to this classy Art Deco bar to pretend like we were among the 800+ First Class passengers who made it their tippling home while crossing the Atlantic during the ship’s glory days. Located near the prow, the bar’s wall of windows provides an …

Let me start off by saying the Queen Mary is a fantastic piece of history, I attended these past few days and visited. Their bar, rich history, authentic and absolutely stunning. The food, on the other hand, can be a little better. Everything was delicious besides the sausage flatbread, which was very watery, kind of defrosted in a way. I'm …

All the employees here was very nice and attentive, and the bar prices were surprisingly reasonable. The views are beautiful, too. I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.
