Lettuce Entertain You transformed the former Sub 51 space into a sultry cocktail lounge. Tucked beneath hot spots Crying Tiger and Gus’ Sip and Dip, this intimate hideaway has become a buzzy destination in its own right. Whether you're planning a romantic date or raising a glass to a special occasion, Kitty’s Cosmopolitan Club sets the stage for a memorable night out.
The vibe: Low lighting, emerald-green velvet banquettes and jewel-toned drapery give the room an exclusive and elegant feel. Even with its glamorous setting, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to settle in for a few drinks.
The drinks: The menu is divided into several sections, including pre-batched cocktails served in glasses chilled in a walk-in freezer, and made-to-order classics like Mai Tai and pisco sour. Don’t miss the trolley cocktails—a gin martini and a Japanese whisky Old Fashioned—mixed tableside. Both feature premium spirits, with the option to upgrade to rarer pours, and, in the case of the Old Fashioned, hand-chiseled ice.
The food: Crying Tiger chef Thai Dang oversees the food, a concise lineup that comprises chips and dip, chilled shellfish and a selection of dumplings. They’re perfect as light, complementary bites, but you’ll want to look elsewhere for a full meal.
Time Out tip: Reservations book up weeks in advance. However, late-night seatings are sometimes available, and the bar holds a limited number of walk-in spots.
