A
Vanessie of Santa Fe
You don’t really come to Vanessie for the food, though there’s nothing wrong with it. No, the attraction here is the piano bar, featuring blow-dried lounge singers who bring Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow classics to life in their own special way. The place is packed most nights, and also does a variety of fundraisers for worthy causes –making you feel good about all that alcohol you’re funneling down your throat.

Dragon Room Bar
This 300-year-old adobe is a consistent top fave for locals and Hollywood-famous visitors alike. Drop by for a signature Black Dragon margarita. Visit after 9pm on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday if you want it served with live music (flamenco guitar, Latin jazz and the like).

Burt's Tiki Lounge
This small venue hosts rock, indie, bluegrass, punk and hip-hop bands most days of the week. Cocktails are cheapo and they never charge a cover. Never say never?

Launch Pad
Indie, reggae, punk and country bands rock the house most nights (though not at the same time). Look for the spaceship on Central Ave.
