A
Big Easy
This club splices together iconic emblems from the great southern city in a superficial pastiche that has caused it to be ridiculously successful. It's hard to tell whether the place is mocking New Orleans, but come inside anyway to experience knock-off wrought iron balconies that overlook the dance floor, huge open spaces and oversized cocktails (hurricanes, of course). The music is usually pop DJs, with the occasional lame cover band.

B
Axis
The black, white, grey and red color palette and painting scheme feels very dated (think 1994), but they've got stripper poles and sometimes hire professional dancers (clothed ones) to use them. Thanks to the smoking ban, the lack of cigarette odor reveals that the place smells like feet, even when empty. There's a large floor and complicated light arrangements to make you feel glamorous.

West Street Grille
On weekends, the after work crowd at this smallish bar gives way to dancing set to pop music and hip-hop. The place can get pretty packed and serves as a pick-up place for college graduates disenfranchised with the large clubs in the area. It's a good spot to make out with someone you never want to see again.

B-Side Lounge
Sliding into a booth at the B-Side feels like sitting in the back of a 1962 Cadillac – a really nice one that someone took great care of. The casually stylish place makes good mint juleps and plays rockabilly.
