Cameron House

Hang out with the locals and catch great music in this ornate yet very casual bar. Celebrities, including Prince, sometimes drop by (see Cameron House).
Cameron House

Giant “ants” on the front of this former flophouse signal a different bar experience. Unspoiled by the acts that played here before making it big, this low-key bar is dedicated to up-and-coming musicians. Join foot-stomping regulars on weekend evenings for pay-what-you-can country music (see Cameron House).
Consort Bar

Relish the great whiskeys and masterfully mixed cocktails in this dignified bar in the Royal Meridien Hotel.
Crush

Just as diners are ordering dessert, the lights are dimmed and the music turned up, officially ushering in the night to this restaurant and wine bar. A terrific selection of wines, many by the glass and fairly priced. The splendid loft space has a large adjoining patio (see Crush).
Crush

Wine is king at this hip loft-space bar/restaurant, but other, equally delicious, libations are also poured (see Crush).
C’est What?

A casual spot with 45 micro-brews on tap, some, such as the hemp, rye, and coffee brews, produced exclusively for the pub. Ethnic dishes.
Dora Keogh

A reconstructed 1890s Irish pub, with a fireplace, and cozy nooks and crannies. Good selection of beers and, of course, whiskeys. Live Irish music is presented occasionally.
Easy & The Fifth

The high-ceilinged dance club of this restaurant/bar venue (see The Fifth) caters to the 25-plus crowd. Bouncers ignore the jeans-clad in favor of those casual-smart; once inside, grab a drink at the long bar, then dance to R&B and top-40 music or play pool under the watchful gaze of cigar smokers in the sideroom (see Easy & The Fifth).
Easy & The Fifth

Savor the bouncer escort to the fifth-floor bar, or pass muster to enter the two-level club and dance the night away to R&B and top 40 (see Easy & The Fifth).
El Mocambo

Revived by a recent facelift, this national landmark presents rock, folk, funk, and more on its two floors.
