ALAMO HEIGHTS. Framed pictures of Ghandi and Che Guevera might inspire you to start an uprising...or maybe just to start dancing. Dim lighting and blue neon illuminate the underground dance floor where 20- and 30-somethings groove to DJ-spun tunes. Pool tables and a hookah room mix up the tone even further. Revolution Room's sister, Rebar, is right across the street, but Revolution is a wise alternative when you're feeling just a little rebellious.

NORTHWEST. There's not much flash to this bar, but it more than makes up for that with incredible drink specials, a happy hour that runs from 2pm until 9pm every day and terrific live music. It's just as easy to rock out here as it is to relax at the stone and tile bar while you watch a game.

MONTE VISTA. With 17 beers on tap, standard and tournament-sized pool tables, and a TV playing the big game, it's back to basics at Joey's. Keeping things simple has made this St. Mary's bar a longstanding success. College students and neighborhood regulars lend a laid-back vibe to the proceedings. Grab a seat on the rooftop deck if the weather's nice, or get the best view of the television from the second-floor balcony.

RIVER WALK. Be in vogue at Vbar, a trendy concoction of chic cocktails, Spanish-influenced cuisine, and clean-lined furnishings. Guests of the Hotel Valencia and 30-something professionals eye each other at this upscale River Walk establishment while sampling small plate tapas. Afterwards, they venture onto the stone terrace to watch the river, illuminated by the light of wall sconces. Modern touches like a sleek beaded curtain add interest to the intimate meeting place.

RIVER WALK. The Jim Cullum Jazz Band is world-famous, and you can catch them six nights a week at this River Walk mainstay. Performing under an acoustic-friendly glass enclosure, the band plays at 8pm each evening; local jazz groups take their place on Sundays. If you'd rather catch some sun and a view of the water, head to the patio, where jazz duos take the stage in the afternoon and play until the wee hours. Savor a glass of wine and a slice of cheesecake as you take in the city's best jazz.

RIVER WALK. Shrinking violets beware: With two dueling piano players, a raucous atmosphere, and audience participation near 100%, Howl at the Moon is a great place to let loose. Musicians keep things boisterous with witty banter, good-natured ribbing, and familiar tunes that all seem to be crowd favorites. Get your courage up with tube or jello shots or an old-fashioned mixed bucket of beers. A mainstay of younger crowds, the bar also pulls in business travelers on a quest for a good time.

RIVER WALK. Follow the long bar that meanders through Swig and you'll likely find your way to a Hemingway Classic from the extensive cigar list, or perhaps a Flirtini with pineapple juice and champagne. At one of the only martini bars on the River Walk, cosmopolitan locals hobnob with the tourist set, yielding a chic yet welcoming atmosphere. Live jazz supplies the perfect backdrop for savoring smokes and drinks.
