In this dimly lit den of luxury, Ulaan-
baatar's young entrepreneurs cut business deals over pricey cocktails and platters of
sushi while sitting at a translucent bar made from marble. In a separate room, revellers
dressed to the nines dance to the latest hip-hop and dance mixes. While the standard
drinks menu has cocktails starting at around T10,000, rock stars should ask for the VIP
menu featuring bottles of champage for a cool T35 million. Dress code is smart casual.

drinks (beers T5000, cocktails T7000 to T12,000) and have a dimly lit, Manhattan-
style atmosphere, with big windows overlooking the city below. If you're in party
mode, try the Sky Lounge on Thursday or Friday (admission T5000 to T10,000)
