Guide Review - Potion Lounge: Bar Review
Go for the potions, stay for the party! Potion Lounge is jumping at all hours with well-groomed professional types, beautiful people, grad students and even an occasional tourist with good taste to venture uaway from the lights of Times Square. Friendly, attitude-free, attractive bartenders entertain with cool, jeweled concoctions such as the Cosmo-Potion (Lime Juice, Blue Curacao, Cranberry, Vodka), Love-Potion (Lime Juice, Cranberry, Peach Schnapps, Voddy and OJ), or Tropical-Potion (Malibu Coconut and White Rums, Cranberry and Pineapple). If you’re too bewildered to get bewitched, their Chocolate Martini promises to make you weak in the knees. The bubbly blue walls and cunning lighting scheme make even a gin and tonic seem magical.
