Hey Esteem, I'd recommend Ampersand for cool, chic and classy. A bit of hip-hop, R&B, Reggae and techno it's the new club of choice of urban professionals. If you're into soul and southern cookin' then try Donna's Bar & Grill. It's in the 300 block of Rampart. Ampersand is on Tulane, don't remember where exactly.

I've heard some good things about D'Plex. Haven't been tho.
