Editorial Review for The Cosmopolitan Cafe (Bar) – by Daniel Liszt
The Scene
Located in a two-tier space adjacent to the Rincon Center, a khakis and polo shirt-clad crowd descends here after work. Toward the back, singles mingle by the lower-level bar. Near the entrance, servers walk back and forth from the illuminated cherry-wood bar, serving small groups huddled in blue suede booths. If there's a ballgame being played, it'll be displayed on one of the few TVs, evoking a healthy amount of hollering.
The Draw
Some come to sample the noteworthy wine list, but most come for a signature cosmopolitan during happy hour. (There's nothing special about the typically mixed drinks, but they do pack a punch.) Live piano music is played in Tuesday through Saturday evenings (8pm-12am). During other hours, recorded jazz and bossa nova keeps the atmosphere lively and the swank-factor high.

The meal was fantastic. I started with the calamari and salad. And, I had the steak for the main entrée. However, when it came to my third drink, I ordered the mai tai cocktail. After sipping it a few times, I looked closely and there was three large horseflies in my drink. The waiter took the drink back and apologized by giving another drink on the house, which did not compensate for drinking an contaminated cocktail.
