DOWNTOWN. This Windy City-style martini lounge has all the makings of a Prohibition Era speakeasy, complete with an Al Capone mannequin who "keeps an eye on things" from a corner table. Old posters on the wall depict scenes from the Roaring '20s, and cushy leather seats and private tables are conducive to intimate conversations. Light jazz or swing often plays on the stereo system or, if you're lucky, a band takes to the small stage area and woos the crowd. Tops, though, is the extensive martini list, which boasts more than 70 different concoctions. Deja Vu is open Tuesday-Saturday, but also on Sundays and Mondays when there is a show at the PAC.

DOWNTOWN. This quirky corner eatery and watering hole is one of downtown's favorite gathering spots, thanks in part to a rustic bar area decorated with trophy animals, hubcaps, and Packers' memorabilia. The main dining area downstairs recollects New Orleans with high arches and French Quarter-style architecture. Upstairs, the cozy attic-library showcases the owner's book collection – "He has thousands of them," joke the staff. The menu features a veritable "who's who" of American pub favorites, from classic double-cheese burgers and tavern-battered cod and mushroom-stuffed tenderloins.

DOWNTOWN. Billed as Appleton's "World Famous Cocktail Lounge," Cleo's is one of those quirky little nightspots you'll never forget having visited. The place is always decorated for the holidays – that is, all holidays, since the eclectic decor includes Christmas lights, Valentine hearts, plastic Santas, and jack-o-lanterns. Otherwise, this classic downtown lounge features a long bar, tall bistro-style tables, and a friendly staff and clientele who are quick to engage newcomers in chatter about current events.

APPLETON. Check out America's hottest up-and-coming comedians – the ones you see on Comedy Central, HBO, or "Late Night with David Letterman" – at the Fox River Cities' top comedy club. Skyline has a capacity of close to 200 people and, most nights, sees standing-room only crowds, so it's best to get tickets in advance, especially if a big-name comic is slated to perform. Two-drink minimum.
