With lively clubs catering to every musical taste, you'll find plenty to do after the lights go down in Indianapolis. The two main areas for nightlife are downtown and in the northern neighborhood of Broad Ripple.

Jazz still sounds great in Indy. Try the Chatterbox for the feel of classic jazz in a nostalgic and well-established local bar. In the Broad Ripple district, the Jazz Kitchen also serves up various jazz styles from both local and national performers six nights a week.

Broad Ripple is packed with club opportunities. The Vogue is one of the city's premiere dance and live music clubs with bands playing mainstream, blues and alternative sounds. Peppers offers live rock on one floor, deejays spinning on the other. For the simpler pleasures of the brew pub, try the Corner Wine Bar, a cozy joint where bluegrass is played on the weekends.

Back downtown, the Slippery Noodle lays claim to being Indiana's oldest bar. This is the place to go for straight blues with local, regional and national acts on the bill. Check out the artifacts that date back to the bar's beginnings in 1850. For something a little bit different, how about combining top-quality billiards, dining, and music at Chalkies.

If your funny bone needs tickling, Crackers Comedy Club has stand-up comedians from the national tour Tuesday through Sunday. They have locations in both Broad Ripple and downtown. The fast-on-their-feet folks at ComedySportz takes audience suggestions to build improvised -- and often hilarious -- scenes.

For local listings, pick up NUVO, the free weekly, or get the Guide section of the Star News.
