Rose.Rabbit.Lie, youve just tried to hard...
Yet again Cosmopolitans recreation of an attepmt to make a chic, modern version of a Burlesque, Cabaret, nightlife showroom, with no burlesque or cabaret, let alone even the slightest feel of the "social-club."
For granted, the opening female performer beatboxing and overlaying her own music on stage with an R&B cover of current popular hiphop needs a record deal! Also the beautiful scantilly clad contortionist, keep her too!!
The rest of the sloppy, unchoreographed "show" can do away. Almost had remembrance of a less raunchy, pitiful storylined version of "The Act"(their shows were more theatrical).
That aside, cocktails were great, powerfully overpriced for just being a few classics and a few simple basic cocktails with added bitters(i.e. The washington apple and fuzzy navel) They were tasteful and aromatic, but i expected more, especially being at the Cosmo. Plus, i was shocked when the bartender didnt know what i was speaking of when i asked for an orange swath!
All in all, i had a great time, it was underwhelming, but i had fun. Perfect for the tourist whos never seen the likes, not so much for the Local who has seen it all.
Great door staff by the way, welcoming and smiling.
Please...someone recreate a true social-club with eye-popping burlesque and mouthwatering prohibition era classics!
