I’m torn about how I feel about this place. I went recently for a friend’s birthday, and I have to say that the cost and overall pretentious nature of most of the party goers was definitely off-​putting.
First off, why is there only ONE other review about this place??? Kinda sketchy, just saying. I will say though that per that one other review, I did feel pretty attractive and powerful being at this place (that was a joke btw, if I was being unclear).
Anyway, the drinks here are pretty good, with real egg white mixed into your whiskey sours, etc. — but at almost $ 20 a pop, I’m not quite sure it’s worth it.
The ambiance is nice, a definite «it» place to be … but again, not sure if it’s worth the nearly impossible to find parking and the price tag of eating/​drinking anything.
Also, while the bartenders were cool, our waitress was horribly rude.
Anyway, that’s about it … this review doesn’t pertain to the SLS generally, or to Bazaar — in case that wasn’t clear.
Stay Cheerful ;)

Full of attractive and powerful people, this place has great energy and an even better cocktail menu.
The birds and the bees is a deliciously sweet cocktail with «a hint of weed» per my friend.
The smoke over water is a drink with an impressively smokey dry ice presentation.
Just be prepared for an $ 14valet which is pretty standard for high-​end hotels in this area.
You will have a great time.
