| - The Cosmopolitan has more than a few options to "get your drink on" but if you're looking for cocktails it's really between the Vesper and the Chandelier. The Chandelier is flashier, louder, prettier, and more "hip" whereas the Vesper is quieter, more collegial, and serves the superior cocktails. The waiters are attentive and talkative; they'll described the various drinks to you if you have questions (the girls seated next to me had to be explained the difference between soda water and regular water). If you go here, make sure to order their eponymous drink, the Vesper of James Bond (book) fame. It's an incredibly alcoholic beverage made of gin, vodka, Lillet, and orange bitters (for coloring) which incredibly flows down with ease. Trust me, it'll be hard to stop at one (In the books James Bond says he drinks only a single Vesper at work but his, if I remember correctly, is twice as big as the ones served at the Vesper Bar).
If you go to the bar midday/early afternoon it won't be too crowded but you can expect a decent and generally friendly crowd. While there I befriended a Romanian, an Australian, and an Italian, which was an amazingly diverse and jovial crowd.
