WEST SIDE. Rainbo Club is frequented by the creative set ­ mainly artists, poets, writers, and such. However, the non-creative aren't necessarily dismissed; just don't advertise your lack of abilities in these areas, and you should be able to pass muster. The bar is comfortably set with booths and tables, and you'll hear a variety of music styles, including punk, rock, alternative, and jazz.

SOUTH SIDE. This classic bar has been around since before many of its loyal patrons were even born. It's unofficially known as "Jimmy's" rather than Woodlawn Tap in honor of a beloved bartender who worked the bar until well into his retirement. The walls are awash in a mix of old and new banners and signs, giving testament to this area bar's longevity. Local college students head here to refresh after grueling exams. They order a beer or two and a hamburger on the cheap.

BUCKTOWN. For a nostalgic experience with the requisite hint of trendiness, Cans is the place to go. While canned beer ­ 27 varieties ­ is definitely the specialty, bottles and cocktails can also be had. Grab a seat at one of the two bars, or sink into delightfully deep booths; thanks to waitstaff bearing Palm Pilots, your suds will be in front of you in no time. Continuing the low-key vibe, arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, and Tetris stand ready to challenge your skills. Alternatively, sit back and enjoy old-school flicks like "Sixteen Candles" on plasma screen TVs.
