No reservation. Don't have to be staying there.
We simply walked in, no reservations and not as a hotel guest.
No it's open to anyone though usually crowded at the carousel other seating available.
Anyone can enter the bar. I've been numerous times with no hotel stay. It does get crowded during the weekends and getting a seat at the bar can be tough. Its open seating so no reservations needed.
No, you do not have to be staying at the hotel, nor do you need a reservation, but it does get pretty crowded.
Would it be a good idea to get there first thing in the morning
