I'm headed down for a little rest and recreation Nov. 7-13 in Destin. Last time I was with friends who always wanted to hang at The Swamp (plus we stayed at Ramada), and I love to whoop it up I'm 35 and looking for something with a crowd more my age.

I've heard great things about the Sky Bar and since I'm staying very close to it, I'll be there.

Is Sky Bar ladies night worth checking out, or is there a better one? I've been burning up Beach TV (watching online) and if I remember correctly the lounge (club?) above Destin Chops also has a Wednesday ladies night and a Thursday Martini night.

I realize that I'm coming during a dead time of year (by choice -- I cover tourism in Las Vegas and want to go somewhere I can slow it down a notch) but when it comes to nightlife I don't want a place too laid back.

I enjoy fine dining and upscale lounges but hey ... I'm going to the beach so I also want to enjoy place with a little bit of action.

All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
