Church Street, oft cited by critics for a laundry list of sophomoric hangs, is the unlikely home of Club 23, a different sort of nightclub amid an array venues with ambient purple lights and nearly nude bar -top dancers. Club 23's warm woods and exposed brick emanate a more sophisticated tone and its curvy bar is a design showstopper that seems meant to attract sippers of single malts over Red Bull-and-vodka enthusiasts. Even so, each night brings with it different drink specials and DJ vibes. VIP tables and bottle service are available, as well, upping the posh factor. Space here is at a premium; a balcony serves as a respite from the crowd on busy nights.
