Description: The Amoutath 1819 is a stylishly decorated lounge bar in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Sacramento that has a classic ambiance. The bar has plenty of comfortable seating inside and out and is perfectly situated for business cocktails or for gatherings with friends. The indoor area has plush cushioned couches as well as large comfortable chairs. The lounge atmosphere is upscale and an inviting place to enjoy your favorite cocktail. Though the weather was too cold for us, there is a nice outdoor seating area with fireplace as well. Location: The lounge is located in the lobby to the right as you enter the Hyatt Regency Sacramento hotel, which is directly across the street from the Capitol building. Décor: The interior décor is what sets this lounge apart. The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are interesting and artistic. The bar area is modern and sophisticated. The colors are all in beige with an accent toward purple. Understated yet elegant. The seating is arranged to encourage intimate conversations. Menu: Unfortunately, this is a place you come for a drink and not the food selections. Sadly, the food should be avoided. The appetizers(and our group tried quite a variety) were not good. Most of us felt they were flavorless and lacked any imagination. Wine and Cocktails: The bar offerings are a variety of mid-range wines/cocktail selections. The wine selections do not mirror the atmosphere of the bar. However, if you are looking for an upscale environment to have a drink for a «happy hour»(bargain) prices and wine selections, this is it! The Hyatt serves their«Canvas» wines for Happy Hour which are decent and well-priced. However, if you have a more refined palate, Amourath will disappoint. Service: The service was excellent! Kudos! We had several staff members assisting our group. We kept growing in numbers as people from the conference walked by and would join us. The staff handled the growing crowd with friendliness and an inviting attitude. Final Thoughts: This is a lounge that I enjoyed. The décor, ambiance, service and drink selection worked well for our group of business associates. Needed Improvement: The food.
