Food and Drink
Pine Hall is at the top of the Hudson’s building (the lower office block) and features the pseudo-mid century design that most of the entire compound follows.
It’s modern, clean and its patio wraps around the entire western side of the building, with city views to the west and south.
Since it was a busy opening night, I stuck to one cocktail and got the Silk Standard. A riff on an Air Mail, it’s a mix of Doctor Bird rum, lime, lager, and North African spices (specifically Ras el Hanout).
The drink list was more limited than I expected, but with a full suite of food as well, I think it evens out. Don’t expect a Sugar House level menu.
In terms of vibes, it felt distinctly younger and sexier than say Kamper’s or Monarch Club.
It positions itself as the most urbane of our lofted libation lounges. If Kamper’s is for the tourists, Monarch is for the older suburbanites and Godfrey or Cambria for the locals, then Pine Hall feels like the Happy Hour move for the key card warriors.
With hours clearly catering to those that will work and play downtown, they will have their doors open every day at 4 p.m., closing at midnight during the week, 1 a.m. on Saturday and 10 p.m. on Sunday.
