There's going to come a time in your clubbing life when you abruptly realize that you're the oldest person at the college hangout. But just because you've spent more years on the planet, you shouldn't be forced to give up getting down. Thanks to the Art Bar, you won't have to. The stylish club, located in the city's jewelry district, packs in the 25-and-over set for Top 40 dance parties, often hosted by local radio stations. And while the crowd is older and the drink of choice is more likely a goblet of wine instead of a bottle of beer, those are probably the only differences that you're going to notice. The dance floor is packed, everyone is decked out in their hippest attire and, of course, the bad pickup lines are in full effect. -- Dawn Keable
