Spy
No, it's not affiliated with the bar of the same name in Cleveland. Yes, it is a complete rip-off of the bar with the same name in Cleveland. Sort of like Austin Powers meets Count Dracula. Spy has a creepy/cozy feel. Techno/house music, artsy babes, plus regular appearances by local media celebs who can't dance. 301 W. 5th St., Cincinnati, OH, 45202; 513/684-0123.

Banana Joe's
Looks like Florida crash-landed on Main Street. Check out the big dance floor and bar on the ground floor spinning the standard top 40 or head upstairs for a darker, edgier dance floor experience. A big selection of pool tables and TVs await downstairs. Watch the drunk girls dance on the main bar; watch closer if they chose a skirt that night. 1120 Main St., Cincinnati, OH, 45210-1936; 513/665-9200.

Have A Nice Day Cafe
Shake your groove thing where it's all '70s all the time. All that disco could turn any guy's stomach after a while, but the chicks dig it, so suck it up cowboy. There's a DJ every night and Thursday is Ladies' Night. 1130 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH, 45210; 513/381-4210.

Longworth's
Mt. Adams establishment that's tough to categorize. Casual restaurant by day, bar/nightclub by night with great food and outdoor dining. At night the band cranks up downstairs while the DJ spins the tunes upstairs. One of the only dance clubs in Mt. Adams. 1108 Saint Gregory St. Cincinnati, OH; 513/579-0900..

Jacob's on the Avenue
When the Ordinary just won't do, Jacob's relaxing Deco bar setting can shake up your night. A good dance club, Jacob's also has some pool tables for you wallflowers. 4029 Hamilton Ave., Cincinnati, OH, 45223; 513/591-2100..
