One drink will probably suffice at this hotel bar where the cocktails are humorously huge. Be careful or you might drown in the 48-ounce Strawberry Shortcake or Kahlua Summer, two of the bar's specialty creations. We like the giant Interactive Martini, where you get two mini-shakers and all the fixins' for mixing your own potent concoctions. The bar also holds the world's record for the largest margarita (prepared in a cement mixer). Want "normal-size" drinks? The bar serves those, too.

The bar, at 160-foot-long, is the longest free-standing bar in North America. Office and convention crowds are inevitable here, but the place also attracts a hefty after-work contingent. Music videos play on a large screen suspended from the ceiling, though there are plenty of other TVs for the sports-inclined.
