April 2015, Our visit for drinks and dessert

On our full day in Stuttgart we went to the Mercedes Benz Museum and afterwards stopped at the bar of our hotel the Althoff Hotel am Schlossgarten.

The lounge is named after John Cranko, a ballet director, and specialized in Rum cocktails.

It is a contemporary space in muted colors with restaurant, bar and lounge style seating.

The bar was already busy with couples and a group of business men.

There was a cocktail of the month too and it was well priced at 8.50 Euro, ca. 9.60 USD.

One of the bar tenders was Frau Manamat (Hope I caught the name right.), we already knew her from in room dining service.

She is a great asset with a friendly and outgoing personality, making us feel welcome each time.

We ordered two cocktails, one Indulgense and one Havanna, and a Crème Brulee.

The Indulgense was cream based, while the Havanna was inspired by Cuba and contained Gossling Rum and citrus fruit juices.

The Crème Brulee was moreish, while the Havanna was tropical and the other cocktail as the name suggests indulgent.

We paid 28.50 Euro (ca. 32.10 USD).

We would return to this bar, because the atmosphere is good, the staff attentive and the drinks fantastic.

Would we recommend this venue to a friend? YES! ^
Would we frequent this venue in our future again? YES! ^
