Marquee

Depending on your mood, this bi-level, sprawling, glossy hotspot potentially might be a tad more trouble than it's worth (especially on weekends). The velvet rope patrol work overtime to ensure the beautiful and socially connected are granted entrance, although the exclusivity factor has waned a bit in recent months. To those not on the list, expect to pay around $20—on top of the bottle or two that will likely serve as your ticket in. If you make the cut, you'll enjoy three packed rooms, each with a full-service bar. That said, private events and weekday evenings at the club have been infinitely more managable for us, and your enjoyment level here really depends on your personality (and your friends).
