The Peel Craftbar & Kitchen

"Exceptional service. Waitstaff is extremely attentive and has great rapport with kitchen as orders can be modified to personal preferences. Servers are not only friendly, they are extremely caring and many serve as bar tenders and can pair any meal with palate pleasing drink. Alan, the floor manager is unbelievably talented and over the Christmas season, entertained children as the all so friendly Grinch! Kids were amused and parents all so happy. If you get to know the wait staff they're not only talented authors, screenwriters, actors, or tradesmen, they each have families and wonderful stories to share if you're interested. I was at the hotel for the entire month recovering from surgery and they treated me with great kindness and understanding despite being so very busy at times. Jobe, Maya, Bryan, Carlos, and several others will treat you just as well. If you haven't been to the Peel yet, you need to go. It's bar is reminiscent of a neighborhood bar where friendlies congregate to watch some ball and talk smack. It's a place ladies can go and expect to be treated with respect. I never once saw a bar hound. The kids will love the fish pond, pool, and jacuzzi while at night, lovers will enjoy the romantic outdoor gas lit fires that provide a warm and embracing feel. I'll be returning in April for sure because as great as this hotel's location and amenities are, Alan and his team are Top-shelf pros who haven't forgotten that they're serving people and not customers. If you'd rather be treated like a customer, visit another hotel restaurant or better yet, the Wendy's across the street. The Peel, it's got just the right Feel!!!!"

"I attended an event at Peel Craft Bar recently. I haven’t been to this Doubletree hotel in many yearsss so it’s great to return to a vibrant and fresh lobby with great food and booze and fun atmosphere. Alessandro was a friendly and efficient server. He gave us the scoop on the event menu and top selling dishes and shared his drink faves. The chef and sous chef also came out to say hi to each table - it was a really nice touch. My favorites were the Pei mussels and Shrimp & Scallop Aguachile: both citrusy and super tasty. I absolutely love the curry broth of the mussels which went so well with the toasty bread. Both had very generous servings of seafood. If you like fried chicken wings with a spicy kick, they have it so delicious! Loved my cocktails too: Como La Flor and Bloody Smoke. Very unique, colorful and refreshing! I’d love to try the other yummy cocktails! I will most definitely return with my husband and friends! Highly recommended for after-work get-togethers!!! Hopefully they’ll have a brunch menu for weekend family brunches :) Follow me on IG for more food and travel spots @i_therefore_conclude"

"Hey folks, we ventured to a new spot in town. Ambiance: The place is clean and modern. Loved the look of the bar. However, the overall feel was a bit too plain for our taste. Drinks: My brother sampled the “Hat Trick” and enjoyed it, though a touch more duck fat might’ve enhanced it. I had the “Green Eyes” and found it lacking. Starters: The pepperoni flatbread reminded us of something you’d find at a kid’s party. On the plus side, the Korean wings had great flavor, but they weren’t served hot enough. Mains: My wife’s burger was somewhat dry, and the bun wasn’t up to par. The fried chicken sandwich my brother got was fine but not memorable. My tuna poke bowl was tasty, but I’d have loved a bit more rice. Ratings: • Food: Not bad ⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Drinks: Good overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Setting: Pleasant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Looking forward to our next dining adventure."

"To be honest we didn’t realize this place was in a hotel lobby and almost left before when we arrived. We decided to sit outside on the patio next to the fountains and fire-pits and had a wonderful time. The charcuterie plate was really good and not your typical anemic meat and cheese plate. The drinks are very unique and while mostly on the sweet side , still very good. I wish the service was better, but I understand they just opened and figuring out how it’s all working. We will probably return !"

"This is a Beautiful place inside the Fera Double tree hotel. They are very serious about their craft cocktails, I thought I was just getting an old fashioned, but it was a show... They smoked out in a glass container which looked really cool (although it tasted like cigarette smoke and was quite difficult to drink. They did ask me if everything was okay and I said it was just because I was too busy talking to my cousin). My cousin also got a beautiful craft cocktail that was purple and pink with butterfly pea flower tea and grapefruit and delicious... and took 5 to 10 minutes to make also. Their drinks are elaborate and worth it (maybe just not the smokey one for me). Everyone was really kind and it was a beautiful bar :)"
