Hey, I'm going to Climax tonight ... are you coming? (Insert joke here.) Despite the, uh, groan-worthy name, look for a blend of Old World architectural pieces and contemporary design in this 6,250-square-foot lounge from the owner of Moda. One of the most striking pieces is a pair of 750-pound griffin lights salvaged from an East Coast mansion--they flank the main bar. Reds, tans and leopard print are accented by hardwood and concrete floors in addition to various types of stone. Four rooms feature three bars--two are marble-topped and one is the section of Bubinga tree, native to Africa. Trees and grass are placed behind the main bar and in a back room that features extremely high ceilings and a skylight. DJs spin from a side room decorated with large black-and-white images of a scantily clad, wet young woman frolicking with a few men. Sparse lounge seating is available for table service, and there's plenty of open floor for dancing.
