Elmwood Avenue near the state college, Allen Street, and Chippewa Street, downtown, are dotted with bars and nightclubs.

For martini swilling, head to a classy restaurant bar.

Mother's

Known as something of a pickup spot, Mother's has an eclectic clientele that ranges from suited lawyers to baseball-capped B-boys. Its low-beamed ceilings and stone walls give it a wine-cellar feel. The patio is open seasonally.
