Whammy Bar

City Center Fodor's Choice

When the cool crowd is out to hear up-and-coming bands and techno DJs, they head to this tiny venue and bar that packs in the music cognoscenti and music agents looking for the next big thing. The bands often start late (Whammy opens at 8:30), so it's for the out-late, dance-friendly crowd after more than easy pop tunes. Be prepared to be surprised by local talent.
