| - My friend Esther and I were meeting friends at Fado and we got there a little early and had some time to kill. Neither of us had ever been to the Drop Bar and since it's just across the way we dedided to, uh, drop in.
Normally, a place like this would get 2 stars from me. It's more of a casual ultra-lounge filled with cocktail dresses and sportcoats. Kind of a pre-club get-together place if you will. The drinks are pricey, the TVs show a smattering of nothing worth noting, and while the music IS a little more varied than other places it still runs the line of wussy and boring for me.
However, the room is just so visually fun, and really, really comfortable. The sphere lights, smooth edges, and crisp whiteness of everything invokes a 60s mod feeling that's just out of this world and completely removed from the casino surrounding it. The barstools besides looking awesome are actually comfortable, as is the bench seating around the perimeter.
I wouldn't go out with the express purpose of hanging here, but if it came up I wouldn't be completely opposed.
