Lotus

The intent behind Lotus is to combine the cozy, relaxed atmosphere of a neighborhood bar with the sleek, lush trappings of a douche-friendly ultra-lounge. If you're not content to stand at the bar and watch sporting events on the high-def TVs, you can impress coworkers from your service-industry job and misguided gold-diggers by reserving a cushy leather VIP booth with $300 bottle service. The beautiful Asian-themed decor, creative signature cocktails and soft lighting will make it easy to forget about your soul-crushing credit card balance. Depending on the night, one of the regular DJs will be spinning club house, hip-hop or hits from the '80s and '90s (which must be the golden oldies era for the twenty-something crowd).
