Wall Street Lounge

 

Toss the Boss, and other fun games . . .

The Wall Street Lounge (WSL) is a theme-based swing-club-cum-shot bar offering House, Salsa, Jazz, and the occasional live gig. Zebra-skin seating arrangements and king-sized gold-framed mirrors set the mood, providing the quiet and relaxed ambience for the local business fraternity to entertain guests after work.

Serious sports fans can watch live cable events on a 100-inch screen, while their dates do some dancing to the DJ jives. During Happy Hour (6 to 10pm) customers can sample a unique range of European draft beer while challenging the bar staff to a round of Toss the Boss, a simple but exciting game of skill where the toss of a coin will determine whether or not the drink is on the house. But to experience real gamesmanship, go for the Big Challenge Golf Contest, playing for either

9 or 18 holes (a clever euphemism for drinks). Or request your drinks to be served in special WSL glasses that signal when empty. Individual memberships offer not only complimentary drinks but also free-dial services to spouses or in-laws for convenient pickup by stretch-limousine.

If your party consists of two or more, you may wish to join the Largest Group Contest to win a Black, Silver, and then Gold Membership which is fun and entitles your group to a free bottle of wine, Moet or Dom Perignon on all subsequent visits. Feeling tired after holding that mobile to your ear all day? Relax. At ¥1000/minute you can get a scientific, stress-relieving massage. Need to know your exact worth this very minute? Go check the stock market at the Internet corner - or e-mail important instructions to your broker.

Like a cube with six sides, the WSL sports six different faces and an even larger number of programs per week. It will even change in front of your eyes when it transforms from a cozy after-work shot bar into a funky stage for drum 'n' bass & house, and finally into a breakfast club, all within a single night. In fact, the WSL is currently THE place for breakfast in Roppongi, served from 4 to 9 in the morning, for ¥800 and up.

A classy lounge like this ought to have pretty steep prices, right? No, Sir! Drinks are just notching up a bit from ¥500 after Happy Hour (10pm), and if you figure in the Massage and Internet services, plus the patented shot glasses that automatically call your spouse or in-laws once you've had one too many . . . it has to be the best deal in town.
