Time to hang with locals. Chic bars and destination clubs have their place, but when you want to cozy up to the kick-back, more intimate side of downtown, make the off-the-beaten-path trek to these neighborhood bars and clubs. Drink what the locals drink, dance to the tunes they love, maybe make a few new friends. It's gonna be a good night.
