Editorial Review for Redwood Room – by Daniel Liszt
The Scene
Ian Schrager, the man behind New York City's '70s glam-club Studio 54, is responsible for putting the shine on this swanky destination. Amid soaring ceilings and polished redwood walls, businessmen scope well-heeled eye candy and vie for busy bartenders' attention. Amorphous wall art appears on a handful of plasma-screen TVs and designer couches line the perimeter, resting atop tiger-striped carpet.
The Draw
The Clift is a popular place to stay for visiting pop stars, so locals come here to be part of a scene, with hopes of spotting someone famous. The room's centerpiece is a tall, back-lit shelf that highlights the bar's quality liquors, many of which are used in the signature martini drinks, like the delicious Lychee-tini. DJs spin music (Wednesday-Saturday), but this is not a dance club.

My hairstylist and a few friends recommended drinks before dinner at this bar. POSH is all I have to say. Drinks were made promptly and tasted great. Call girls were available and plenty of Sugar-daddies hovering over us!

Cheesy, Cheesy, Cheesy....This place is so OLD news. Everytime I go, it's filled with posers, and ladies of the night! Really, it has turned into a tourist trap. The only way a girl can get a guy to buy her a drink is if she is HOT enough to flag down the bartender so HE and his buddys don't have to wait like the rest of the scrubs. SKIP IT, unless of course your over 40, or lookin to find some trim for pay.
Pros: The lighting and cool pictures on the wall....
Cons: The croud
