The Asian-themed Orchid Lounge is an oasis of chic relaxation that attracts a down-to-earth crowd. It's the ideal place to unwind, with carefully chosen décor—red satin pillows, Japanese lanterns, vases of cherry blossoms—and friendly bartenders who sample the cocktails they mix to ensure perfection. The bar is lined with glass jars of vodka infusions in flavors like pumpkin, vanilla, and ginger. If you're lucky you'll witness the striking of the gong, signifying free shots. If not, the drinks are worth the money, anyway. Try a China White Lily, a sweet mix of cinnamon-infused vodka, Baileys, and coconut rum. The Sajito, a sake mojito, is refreshingly minty, while the Lychee Martini has a subtle, sweet flavor. There is also an assortment of sake, red and white wine, and bottled Asian beer. As for entertainment, the bar's big screen and three TVs air occasional movies and Monday night games; while the rest of the week, a DJ, sequestered inconspicuously in a corner, spins low-key songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Hendrix.
