Lit
Lit is one of those places with a buzz, but no matter how popular it becomes, it still feels like an underground secret. You could literally stumble into the entrance, unless it’s after midnight—that’s when the crowd spills onto the street. Hang out upstairs for a rock scene or to see the art gallery, Fuse. It’s off-limits during heavy drinking hours (for good reason), but you can see art through the glass doors and quite often art magazine favorites display here. DJs (who are often celebrities) play, or you can head downstairs to check out a screeching rock act. Puritans take note: These bathrooms are notorious for debauchery.

Buried treasure!

After searching for this place for about 20 minutes to meet up with some people, I finally stumbled into this veiled little gem. It's probably not for everyone, but if you're looking for a hip scene with friendly, laid back bartenders and an animated crowd that sings along to alternative tunes- past and present, it can be a really good place to let loose. The feeling that you've discovered a secret, underground party in itself is quite envigorating. While I was there, the downstairs crowd was thriving on tunes from the 50's and 60's and dirty-dancing through clouds of smoke. It was really one of the most unique bars I've been to.
