Re-Introducing the "Men's Bar" Whiskey Glass in One Pound of Crystal.

Its roots go back to 1904, when millionaire William Waldorf Astor opened the Hotel Astor in New York's Times Square. The hotel's legendary Men-Only Bar was open from 6 AM to 1 AM daily, and no less than ten bartenders were on hand, serving drinks to a roster of patrons including Pierpont Morgan, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (better known as Mark Twain), Colonel William F. Cody (otherwise “Buffalo Bill”), Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks, Alfred E. Smith, John "Bet a Million" Gates, and Diamond Jim Brady.  Actors rubbed elbows with financiers and athletes with industrial giants.

The bar attracted these men of fastidious tastes because its drinks were what they ought to be, served in whiskey glasses crafted in nearly 1-pound of crystal.  These glasses conveyed an expression of conviviality, and the entire experience revolved around how you hold one in your hand.

Offered is a Gift Box Set of 2 Hotel Astor "Men's Bar" Crystal Whiskey Glasses, true to the days when men were men, and women were glad of it. (Includes a bit of Hotel Astor history).

Fantastic glasses & customer support

These glasses look better in person than in pictures.They feel really good in the hand especially with big and boozy drinks, although I have used them for gin and tonic. They have truly elevated our cocktail experience.....There was an issue with one of the glasses, and it was immediately replaced!I really cannot say enough about the overall experience.

Class. Class. Class.

These glasses are absolutely beautiful, nice weight, flawless crystal. Worth the price for sure, once you hold it you’ll understand. Look good, feel good as they say. Or taste good.It’s also pretty cool to be sipping from the same glass as J.P. Morgan.

Love these glasses

I'm really happy with this purchase. I wasn't planning to spend this much on a couple of rocks glasses, but I'm glad I did. They're beautiful and feel substantial in hand. Nicely packaged as well. Would make a great gift for a discerning whiskey drinker.
