Plato's Lounge
STATE: Paradise Island
COUNTRY: The Bahamas
PHONE 1: 242/363-3000
This is Atlantis's most popular bar, a sensual spot where you can escape the din of the slot machines and relax in an upscale environment that's flanked with replicas of Greek texts that might have been hand-lettered by Plato himself when he wrote about the fabled lost continent of Atlantis. Sofas are deep and comfortable. A pianist sets the mood during cocktail hour and early evening, and you'll invariably get the sense here that you're right in the heart of everything. In the sunlit hours, the site doubles as a cafe, serving pastries and snacks from 6am until 4pm. It's open until 1am nightly.
