Best Bathroom In Progress, Best Bar Countertop, Best Lights

Acropolis

You've probably heard about this incredibly cool new warehouse-turned-club, but have you heard about the bathroom? You push through aluminum double doors to enter an airy, minimalist co-ed environment. A partial wall separates the men's and women's sections as modesty demands, but the sexy, communal wild spirit rules. And what about that big red velvet couch? Talk about putting the rest back in restroom. Try to tear yourself away long enough to check out the bar, monolithic grey cement with chunks of colored glass embedded in the surface, and behind it, adorable bartenders mixing the best Bloody Marys since the Crucifixion. Not to mention the lights. Did you realize that technology had progressed to the point where lasers can respond directly to music, changing color, intensity and direction according to 50 million programmable options? Go be amazed. We'll meet in the bathroom.
