The Bare & Verandah is The Four Seasons uninspired lobby bar, literally connected to the same area where one would check in. As with any five star place, the prices are astronomical. Drinks are good, but not as stiff as one would like.
The waiters here think they're working for the Mandarin Orient in Hong Kong or something. While sipping our drinks after work, the waiter promptly brought out some warm breads to enjoy with our libations. Unfortunately, after a few minutes, he reappeared and took all of our silverware and plates away. When I told him that I didn't prefer eating like a caveman, he explained it was hotel policy to remove all utensils and serving plates from customers who had not ordered any food from the menu. WTF!? I gave him the look of death and he brought everything back, but what nerve! Not going back unless I'm dragged here with a larger group.
