Description:
DOWNTOWN. Set in the lower part of a former warehouse, this eminently appealing place has been pleasing patrons since 1981. Its dim, well-loved interior boasts leather furniture and a substantial bar, where regulars hang out after the work day's done. During the day, a menu of light fare is available, and appetizers are standard at night. Old-school drinks (especially martinis) are a source of great delight to patrons, and beer, wine, and liqueurs can also be had. Plus, there's live music – mostly jazz – offered nightly. A great, laid-back destination.

Description:
MIDTOWN. Devotees of live music, particularly jazz and reggae, find much to like about this cool, funky Midtowner. Apache has the look and feel of the avant-garde music clubs you'd find hidden away on West Village side-streets. In fact, it's not uncommon for the venue to host some of the neighborhood's more cutting edge events like think-tanks, debates, poetry slams, film screenings and even performance art. Due homage is paid to the local visual arts scene, and many local artists are allowed to display their work along the weathered brick walls.

Description:
LITTLE FIVE POINTS. From the hokey Elvis shrine across from the main stage to the retro-style Little Vinyl Lounge, this Little Five Points classic is 100% rock-n-roll. Fun bands, loud music, and cheap beer are hot commodities at the Star, and it's not uncommon to find a few yuppies interspersed among the more rustic regulars. If you feel like taking a break from the deafening Southern rock or blues acts onstage, head downstairs to the seedy LVL, a self-described "bucket of sin with a stain-resistant skin," where the happy hour scene is laid back and the jukebox is the stuff of legends.

Description:
WESTSIDE. A fun Westside beer joint, this one is a little out of the way, but that doesn't deter the regulars who hang out there. Decidedly casual, anything goes as far as attire. But if you are downtown sightseeing or having a meal, it's an entertaining place to head afterwards. The schedule is full of live shows, which range from great to less-than-great. Pool tables and homestyle grub round out this laid-back nightspot's offerings.

Description:
MIDTOWN. A cool vibe runs throughout this swanky lounge, part of which is swathed in leopard prints as the name promises. The mid-century modern decor is an apt environment for patrons who cultivate a retro attitude of their own. Martinis are de rigeur, although a variety of cocktails is available, including your favorite. On the lower floor, you'll find DJs offering dance music to groups of young professionals, who gyrate their way into the night. An outdoor patio and three bars ensure that you're never at a loss for leisure pursuits, and comfortable furniture inside provides the opportunity to kick back and relax. If you get hungry, there's gourmet pizza to eat. Great atmosphere in a turn-of-the-century home.

Description:
MIDTOWN. Very retro and very cool, Midtown's Loft has emerged as a truly great place to catch live music. Per its name, the venue occupies a second-story space that is wide-open and sleekly decorated with mod furniture. Activity around the four full-service bars helps keep the stylish 20-somethings occupied during pauses in the music ... And speaking of music, the Loft books a wide array of it, from Digable Planets to international acts like The Subways. Popular regionalites also get stage time from week to week, and many shows tend to sell out before the doors ever open.
