Know something we don't?
Seeming to float above downtown like a Jetsons-age oasis, the Standard’s rooftop bar attracts everyone from buttoned-up office workers seeking happy hour drinks to the swanked-out, late-night crowd, whose appearance brings out the velvet ropes. Décor is ultra-mod with futuristic pod-like cabanas -- complete with vibrating waterbeds -- planted around the shimmering blue rectangle of the hotel pool. The whole swinging scene is set against a sweeping view of downtown’s skyline. Order any drink here and the result will be a strong concoction delivered to your table (or lounge chair, as the case may be) by a very young and very attractive server. Of course, the bar would be sub-Standard without the requisite fireplace, DJ booth and dance floor.
