The winner of numerous design awards, Bargo has plenty to see if the stylish crowd, regional acts, or DJ's don't hold your attention. Brushed silver seating, a swinging canopy overhead, and warehouse-like proportions give this bar a cosmopolitan flair.

For beer lovers, Blackfriar's is a treat. You can choose from more than 60 European beers while hearing live jazz. Occasionally, live blues and rock are featured, and you'll find a popular comedy show going on in the basement every Sunday. Classic pub food is offered, as well, including haggis, fish and chips, and ale pies that go well with your beverage of choice.

Flares lives up to its name, as both staff and partygoers alike come dressed in their '70's best. The club sports bright purples and oranges that will transport you straight into the 1970s.

Flares also sponsors '70's cover bands from time to time. If you ever catch yourself wistfully thinking of the 1970s, Flares is the place for you.

Downstairs, this bar has some favorite American-style trappings such as pool tables and the best jukebox in town. Upstairs, local bands perform, looking for their big break and remembering that Oasis was discovered here.
