Frommer's Review

Built of glass and set at the very end of a long pier by the waterfront Trapiche Adelaide, this bar boasts a sweeping view of the Bay of All Saints, making it a prime sunset spot, particularly on Thursday and Friday afternoons during happy hour. The wine list and ultra-modern decor attract a 30-something yuppie crowd who stay long after the sun goes down. Appetizers come from the kitchen of the excellent Trapiche restaurant next door. Open Monday through Thursday 6pm to 1am and Friday to Saturday 5:30pm to 2am.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
