Editorial Review for Jet Vodka Lounge – by Valerie Moloney
The Scene
Bouncers keep the list close to their chests when tending the velvet rope at this aviation-inspired club. Once they get the go-ahead, girls in designer denim and guys in collared shirts enter what resembles a Boeing 777: a stark white room with a curved ceiling illuminated by moody lighting and projected screen images. Ice coolers built inside seat cubes to keep the vodka chilled are a nice touch, as are the risque hemlines worn by stewardesses/servers coiffed with sleek, Gwen Stefani ponytail hair. Keep an eye out for when they climb on the banquettes for a quick dance. Boogie space is missing for everyone else.
The Draw
The menu features more than 130 different types of vodka, including the $400-a-bottle Jewel of Russia and the coveted Skorppio brand. Specialty drinks abound, but scenesters with plenty of disposable income come for the high-end bottle service.

Insider Tips
Where to SitMost of the seating is for VIPs so call ahead to reserve a table or go to the club's website.
Look GoodDress in your best duds--no T-shirts or ball caps--or risk being rejected at the velvet rope.
Save MoneyHit the club before 10pm to avoid a higher cover charge.
What to DrinkTry the Lemon Pepper Martini, made with SV Honey Pepper Vodka and lemonade, or the Lift Off, a combination of Effen Black Cherry, Stoli Vanil, watermelon liquer, lemoncello and grenadine served with a salted rim.

We went to Jet on a Thursday night they have the hottest bartenders who are actually very nice and helpful about their 120 Vodkas. The guys were all good looking and there to spend money. I think Jet is even better now that its not as crowded as when they first opened in July. The place is small but all white and stylish. At the end of the night we bought a bottle of Moet and a bottle of Italian Vodka called Mezzaluna. It was definetly resonable and a delicious time!!!! But if you dont want to spend the cash ....go for the $2.00 well drinks THursday.
Pros: Hot Staff, Inexpensive, Hot guys
