Nightlife in your city :)

Hi there. .......Give us a highlight of a hot Saturday night in your city. Tell us where to go, the best clubs, undiscovered gems, and the best party spots in town!


For the lovely city of Albuquerque-

After work, head out to the cool Q-Bar in historic Old Town, for martinis. Grab a quick snack at Ambrozia on Mountain Boulevard, before heading down 8th Street to catch the Albuquerque Symphony Orchestra perform at the bandshell on the lake in the Zoological Gardens. Take Central Boulevard into downtowns thumping Entertainment District, walk the 4th Street Mall and check out-

Burts Tiki Club
Banana Joes
The Billiards Club
Shank
New York Pizza Co.
Sauce
the Hole
Grab a beer at the Library, where the waitresses dance on the bartops
or bang your head in any of the other 29 clubs, discos and bars in downtown.

Head up to Civic Plaza, to watch hot local bands perform, or gawk at the fire-breathers and Turkish Belly Dancers, or trance with thousands of hot bodies at the Summerfest.

A MUST-see for any Albuquerque Saturday is OPM.......one of the hottest and best clubs in the Southwest, home for reknowned DJ Kike, DJ Irene, and Bad Boy Carlos.

Check out a play at one of downtowns 6 Independant theaters, ranging from alternative, to classic Shakespeare, to Independant Poetry readings.

Attend a party at the rooftop pool at the Hyatt Regency, and head into the Warehouse District in Edo to find some hot jazz clubs and Salsa Venues.

Dont forget to head out to the heights, and flirt in the jungle club of Assets, Sandiagos, or if your down by the river, take a few shots at Neds on the Rio Grande. South African, British and Aussie expats should check out the White Lion Pub or the Mama Afrika, both in Los Ranchos. Japanese looking for a taste of home should check out Hima-Hima Club in Uptown. Or go wine tasting in Casa Bordeax in Corrales.

For a real fancy meal with an equally fancy price tag.....Corn Maiden on the north-end is the place.....and of course, Petro pumps out decent (sometimes) tracks, or a decent( sometimes) pianist will play, on the 18th floor of BOW Bldg.

All the big hotels have "chic" bars and discos.............right now, Tamaya at Hyatt Regency Tamaya, or Waters at the Doubletree....are the best.

Metro Albuquerque has 4 casinos.....all of which offer Las Vegas style gambling, Las Vegas style shows...nightclubs, and usually big name concerts. The only one worth going to is the Sandia Casino..........which just completed its new high-rise hotel tower.

Of course we have Opera, Ballet and Symphony.

And the best concerts (BIG names) are held at the Journal Pavilion and Tingley Coliseum.


Make your way into Nob Hill, get a tatoo, or take the tour of Albuquerques 9 Gay Clubs (all in Nob Hill), and dont miss Pulse and Blu........two of the city's hottest places to party.

While in Nob Hill, check out Kellys Brew Pub, and watch sexy dancers partake in HOT Tango and Rumba (to which I belong )


Before calling the night over, visit Graham Central Station in Midtown, and dance a few hours away in one of its 4 superclubs......Miami Beach, Swing, the Barn and Cats.

After your too drunk to dance anymore, catch a famous green-chile burrito at the Frontier (personally, I hate the place)....its open 24/7.


And the whole night long...take the Express Line,a buck fifty will get you unlimited trips all along Central Avenue corridor until 4 am. Its safe, its reliable, and it keeps you and your friends from driving drunk.

Enjoy! >
