VIBE

Stylish lobby lounge at The Mondrian. Bright tangerine couches and a sparkling bar add sex appeal to a cool, restrained white-and-silver space. Smooth tunes on the stereo complement the gentle hum of grown-up conversation.

WHAT WE WOULD WEAR

It’s upscale casual. We’d go with something sophisticated, like a swinging little cocktail dress and chic low-key heels.

GO HERE WITH

A date; girlfriends; clients or colleagues

CROWD

A sophisticated mix of industry insiders and starlets on their best behavior. Because of the relaxed door policy, there’s also a fair number of non-famous (though still smart) guests.

WHY WE LIKE IT

We love how the grown-up look and the crowd manage to keep a funky, modern edge. It’s sleek and sophisticated but not stuffy.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

Sky-high cocktail prices.

GOOD TO KNOW

Happy hour runs 5:00pm-7:00pm daily. If you need a helping hand with the perplexing name, ADCB stands for “Asia de Cuba Bar.”
