MUSIC ROW. Virago is a trendy locale known for its seafood, sushi and happening bar scene. The young and restless enjoy fresh seafood and fusion fare, such as honey-banana grouper and sesame-seared mahi mahi with sweet potatoes. The tuna-tartare and "Between the Sheets" dessert are excellent as well. Make sure to make reservations, as this is a popular place on any night of the week. At night, Virago becomes one of the trendiest bars in town. While sipping one of their famous martinis at the S-shaped bar, the honky-tonks of neighboring streets will become a distant memory and you'll start to feel like you're in a big city.

DOWNTOWN. Tired of country music? Check out Fuel on 2nd Avenue. This garage-themed venue features live acoustic and full band sets from rock and alternative groups. Most shows have no cover, so you're left with more money to spend on drinks from either the main bar or the unique tequila bar. The occasional battles of the bands and karaoke nights serve to vary the entertainment at this energetic club.
