You may be a pock on the rash of post-post-adolescent artist folks squatting in the downtown area, but that doesn’t mean you gotta spend your Saturday nights as the scrubby alterna-type that you are. So go on, swank it up a bit, but this time, don’t outsource your glitzy evening to Scottsdale. After all, taxi fare is out of the question, and you’re too old to crash on couches without experiencing residual back pain.

Stay in the neighborhood for the weekly House and Techno Saturday. This newest spot for nightlife scenery -- an offspring of neighboring Fate restaurant -- is a classy joint with a sick outdoor patio and a posh interior that’s the perfect place to hear some rad spins and feel classy.
