While the Ballroom Lounge of the Highland Inn is not quite a secret, its dingy-chic meets vintage style (i.e. black and white tile, old furniture, and decayed grandeur vibe) offers libations and badass music events for a fraction of the price bars that try to re-create the same ""effortless"" vibe charge. Mega cheap High Life, generous pours of Jack 'n' ginger, loosen up an excellent mix of folks including ex-fratboys, hipsters and that cute tatted up girl you saw at the Majestic the weekend before. Make sure to attend a late night 60's dance party complete with wall projections of weirdo films, or for a low key jazz night during the week.
Pros: Great mix of people, awesome dance party potential
Cons: Better to finish the evening here, rather than start it
