About this space

The Bar at Ambar is a fun and inviting space just off the dining room, featuring turquoise and golden hues, beautiful glass tiles and large mirrors to ensure plenty of light and airiness. High top tables and bar stools allow guests some sitting and some standing room. Great spot for a cocktail reception!
