TravelSkoot picks the Best Nightlife spots in Virginia-Highlands and Little Five Points. Grab a cigar, some great beers on tap and take in some blues music, all promising a great night out on the town.
Arrive at street level and then head downstairs you can certainly get a savory one beer or a great martini at Highland Tap. The clubby, dimly lit atmosphere puts you right at ease. Hickory Grilled steaks and slow roasted prime ribs are the main event – but you can find crabcakes, pork tenderloin, or even an amazing burger on the menu. Stone walls, leather booths, and a long centerpiece of a bar are your ambiance. Just don’t leave without trying a bite of Bailey’s Chocolate Chip Cheesecake.

Blind Willie McTell is the stuff of Blues Legend- a Georgian musical genius and the perfect namesake for a Blues Club. Look for the neon sign with the alligator playing the steel guitar, and you'll know you're in the right place. Every night, music emanates from behind the door - where they're busy serving blues, booze and Cajun food. Cajun Catfish, Jambalaya, and Blackened Chicken salad will put you in the mood - and a Strongbow Hard Cider will keep you there. Keep an eye out - legend has it that Blind Willie never really died. Maybe that's him sitting in the dark corner, smiling over his legendary influence.

It looks like a neighborhood dive, especially with the wood paneling, the Elvis shrine and Jukebox styled entranceway but it actually used to be a bank, which accounts for the steel vault still inside! Today, the hottest national and local bands thrive at this rock bar in the Little Five Points Neighborhood. For years, Star Bar has been home to Rock & Roll, Country, Bluegrass, Indie and many more. Don't look for martinis glasses here the drinks are always served in those classy red plastic cups! And be sure to go downstairs and visit the Little Vinyl Lounge, where DJ Sars spins the best old vinyl.
