Not downtown, but one must soak in the social armageddon which occurs nightly at the Remington Bar in the St Regis, aka The Regal Beagle, at least once in their life.

That was very helpful. Care to tell me what is funny? I've never been there.

Market Square downtown has some cool bars. Okra is a charity bar, very cool concept and inside looks awesome. There is also Pastry Wars which is newer and has the same owner as Anvil. A few more around there. Flying Saucer is downtown as well. Sunny's around 2:00am gets reaaally weird I hear.

Edit: did not see the dancing part. Nevermind, not a lot of dancing at thesr places.

You said Reagle Beagle. You must be my age. Little help.

The only place a 40 year old can go to dance and not look out of place is a gay club or a Jazz bar like Sambuca or Red Cat.

I usually end up at the Foundation Room at the HOB, but depends on the music for the night. That, along with the Regal Beagle, is all I got.

This is the answer I anticipated. Sambuca was fine. Red Cat?

I can google but prefer firsthand knowledge of the OT

See? The dancing ramps up degree of difficulty.

Limelight....People are so busy dancing, drunk or Molly'd up that they don't care what your age is

Leave an extra pair of shoes in your car in case the bouncer tells you to change them

I have. Not the type of "club" dancing the OP is looking for probably.

Second the St. Regis bar, especially if you are going with a group of people. Always fun after weddings, rehearsal dinners, etc.

Remington Bar
I work near there and have been to events at the St. Regis, but never more than a quick drink or two at the bar. Please elaborate on what you mean by "social Armageddon." Clash of different ages? Worth going for people-watching? Thanks.


Also, for the OP, my wife and I (we're "old") attended a small get-together at the club in hotel ZaZa, after a wedding. Saturday night. Place was going pretty good - with excellent people watching and a wide array of age, social status. Tiny dance area, so no real pressure. This was a 2-3 years ago.

Roak on Kirby is one of the better places for people our age. It's more upscale which keeps most of the younger kids away.
