Coffee Exchange
Drink very strong coffee at one of many small tables covering a scratched wooden floor. Nearby, thick layers of flyers are tacked onto boards and a large roaster lurks behind cases displaying the 40 kinds of beans available. In warm weather, take your brew on an open-air deck.

Lili Marlene's
If you dribbled on your pants in the bathroom, fear not - this bar is so dark that no one will notice the humiliating mark. Here, Atwells Ave looses the Italian feel and becomes either a Victorian parlor or a bordello with imitation tiffany lamps casting a faint glow on red walls set above rich wainscoting. Sit at the bar or in leather booths.

Mirabar
This venerable bar for gay fellows attracts devoted regulars, many on a first-name basis with the bartenders. It's got two floors - the second, a sort of promenade, overlooks the action of the main level's dance floor.

Red Fez
Packed full of Hasbro copywriters who work on the packaging for Transformers action figures, this dark, spooky bar makes stiff drinks and fantastic grilled cheese sandwiches. What little light exists is red, by which short RISD girls with interesting hair draw crap on napkins. Upstairs is cooler than downstairs.

Roxy
In the same building as Lupo's, stop by this popular meat market for the usual hits on a loud sound system. Expect liberal use of laser lighting and, depending on the night, paid dancers wearing tiny, uncomfortable outfits. Ironically, there is a dress code for guests (no sneaks, baggy clothes, etc).
-
Trinity Brewhouse
This brewhouse serves only its own hop-heavy Irish/British-style beer. There's entertainment most nights, and the kitchen, serving sandwiches (some vegetarian), burgers, shepherd's pie and grilled sausages closes at midnight.
-
Wild Colonial
Come inside the basement level of a 19th-century warehouse to find a spacious tavern with a pool table and two dart boards. A patchwork of walls appears to use every masonry device available, from giant rocks to cobblestones to crumbing brick - so crumbing that you can look through a gaping hole behind the bar to see an office beyond.
