Prive   

Taking things to the next level, the creators of Opium Garden developed Prive, a sub-club within their nightlife complex that is devoted solely to the creme de la creme. This ultra-exclusive cocktail lounge caters predominately to the fashionably elite or multimillionaires willing to pay for bottle service. Formerly a dimly-lit, hip-hop section of Opium Garden, the space has been completely transformed into a shimmery glam-scene complete with reflective surfaces of blue and orange. Low-profile sofas and tables dominate most of the 3,000 square-foot floor and offer perfect perches from which to see and be seen. Even though you'll hear the latest body-rockin' Euro-dance music, Prive is more about seeing who's who than showing off funky moves. You'll feel like you're hanging out in an upscale loft apartment. The room is sexy and comfortable, distinguished primarily by bold black-and-white Helmut Newton photographs that serve as the primary decor. Expect to mingle with top models, celebrities and movie and record producers. Reservations are a must. -- Monica Cady
