Costello Club

Spanish pop, rock, and jazz performers, from the truly local to national favorites, take the stage every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night at this two-level bar-lounge and concert venue, possibly the coolest thing downtown. The three smallish spaces include the Gold Lounge in the front, with sleek 1960s-style banquettes and a backlit bar cast in gold; the White Lounge, with bedlike couches that prompt reclining and not a few make-out sessions; and the brick-lined concert venue, downstairs, with a stage at the far end. No grungy rock venue or cheesy nightclub, this place is class all the way.
