The best place to hear live music on State Street, this thumping club promises high-energy entertainment and an enthusiastic clientele. Known for its powerful sound system, Velvet Jones puts its speakers to good use with top DJs and amazing bands, from local acts on the rise to national headliners. A full bar serves up the usual cocktails (in dance-safe plastic cups), and musical styles range from hip-hop to punk. If you're up for a quiet night and relaxation, this probably isn't your best bet. If you're in the mood to power through the night, then head on over! During the day, it's still a bar - it's just a little less loud.

- Best Nightlife: "This is not the place to wear your silk shirt or open-toed sandals. This is the place to get some party-style war wounds worth bragging about."
- Live Music: "This is not the place to wear your silk shirt or flip flops. This is the place to get some party-style war wounds worth bragging about."
- Recommended as Best Nightlife, Live Music Because: Velvet Jones is loud, fun and packed - home to feisty live bands and equally raucous crowds.
