Quarter作为杭城人气酒吧Half&Half的姐妹店，刚开业就吸引了大批酒客的关注，它继承了Half&Half中人与人之间舒适温馨的氛围感，又在店内装饰中加入了别具一格的东方元素，首先在店面选址上就很是讲究，它位于元福里老墙门样式的二层小楼内，不乏历史韵味。Quarter的主人在Hangzhou酒圈被称为李老师，曾留学学习考古艺术的她将自己的个人审美与好品味More地带进了Quarter，因此相比于Half&Half，Quarter看起来更像是一个私人收藏室。
On the first floor of the quarter is a café that stocks coffee beans that Mr. Li brought back from all over the world, as well as serving alcoholic coffee. When you go up to the second floor at nightfall, the bar is full of interesting old objects: the bar is made of various Chinese medicine cabinets and old wooden cabinets, the old carved wood cabinets and stained glass screens harmoniously form a perfect whole with Shanghai-style retro sofa chairs or antique lamps and lanterns from the Netherlands, and a wall painting has a bit of oriental mystery in the dim lighting, which makes people can't help but immerse themselves in the atmosphere.
Quarter's own cocktails are full of creativity, where bartenders dip herbs into spirits and skillfully reprocess them to create a new base liquor, including common herbs such as chrysanthemum and roselle, as well as special ingredients such as Sichuan pepper and kelp. One of the most intriguing things in the bar is the Sminole Vodka, which is soaked in wolfberry, astragalus and licorice, with Vermouth and Campri, and finally lit with cinnamon. Rich in oriental charm, Zen is based on Bifuda 24 gin and oolong tea, adding a small amount of lemon juice, cranberry juice, simple sugar and egg white to prepare, the light tea aroma drags out a long aftertaste, sweet and sour fruity flavor makes the wine taste more palatable, and the egg white foam adds a layer of delicate and subtle taste to the wine body, which is more popular among drinkers, but this wine is slightly thin in taste, and friends who like tea elements can try it as a drink.
Bartender Ryan is very young, but his bartending skills are solid and slightly domineering, which is unexpected, and he seems to be particularly calm among the younger generation of bartenders in Hangzhou. Nowadays, in order to cater to the market, many bartenders spend more attention on the formal sense and visual nature of the wine, lack of perception of the wine taste framework, and lack of training in bartending techniques, and only a small number of bartenders pursue the classic cocktail system. Happily, Ryan has a good understanding of classic cocktails, and her Dry Martini has a unique feminine style, dry and long-lasting aftertaste, whether it is a stir or shake mixology.
好酒值得好食物来搭配，相比曾引起去酒吧吃猪油渣拌饭潮流的Half&Half，Quarter的小食还要稍胜一筹，麻婆豆腐意面、和牛炒饭、鹅肝烩饭等主食让Quarter成为酒客们的深夜食堂，优质食材经过厨师之手后除了浓厚本味，More了些家常味道，让人很有好感。此外店里也有隐藏菜单，如西班牙火腿盖饭、蛤蜊、生醉蟹等，能吃到什么全看李老师近期又带来了什么食材。
The staff at Quarter are friendly and polite, and if the store is not busy, there will be a relaxed chat with the staff. Most commendably, Quarter takes great care of the guest washing experience, and few bars offer toilet cleaners in the restrooms like Quarter does, so customers can use them with peace of mind. In addition to the high-quality hand sanitizers, Quarter also offers hand creams from brands such as Jo Malone and rose-scented mouthwashes. In every way, Quarter is a comfortable and quality experience for drinkers, which is highly recommended.
