All of the same hotel (Park Hyatt) is high above the city. There is no 'base' level.
The alternative bar is called "The Peak Bar" (or The Peak Lounge) and is on the 41st floor. I'm not aware of any supplement here. Other regulars on this forum know it much better than I do.

Although I've visited many of the 'depachika' (basement food halls at department stores) in Tokyo, I'm not sure if there is one that is 'better' than the rest, it's all down to preference and needs. Mitsukoshi may offer one of the most 'polished' of the depachika, but I tend to gravitate towards the Isetan stores for my own requirements.
This is one of the few areas where a tour might make the experience more worthwhile.
The local government offer a free depachika tour here:
