Do you sometimes feel a night out in Roppongi is like a scene from the hip film "Swingers"? You spend the time it takes to quaff a drink and scan the crowd in one bar before you are off to yet another in search of something elusive, somewhere indefinable.

Well, the guys behind the big R's latest watering hole are hoping to attract a clientele worth sticking around for.

Gmartini's -- as its name suggests -- is a cocktail bar. But don't expect wannabe shaker-slinging Tom Cruises and Hard Rock Cafe freebie glasses. The idea is sophisticated cool.
