The decor certainly does its part to enhance the lounge's ultra-cool image ­ the space is awash in dramatic hues of blue and red, there are intimate bistro tables, and the bar is characterized by an artsy geometric shape that seems to hover over it. Complementing the extensive drink lineup is their tapas menu, which features everything from Jack Daniels-marinated shrimp to flatbread pizza.
