Ona's is one of the best places in town to hear great live jazz.

Platinum of Birmingham 821 2nd Ave N 205-324-0791 BIRMINGHAM

One of the largest and most popular nightclubs in Birming- ham, Platinum is equipped with three full bars, two stages for live entertainment, VIP ac- commodations and a late-night kitchen. Stop by early in the eve- ning for casual mingling or party into the night with high-energy hip-hop shows and DJ sets. Platinum is the place to be if you want to party and meet new people. I m there all the time. Lisa J.

The Quest 416 24th St S 205-251-4313 BIRMINGHAM

Enjoy live drag shows and great DJs at The Quest, the only dance club in Alabama open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Located just a few blocks from the Lakeview district, The Quest is a great last stop and the only place to dance til dawn. The Quest is super fun, especially on drag night. Amelia E.

Rag s 728 29th St S 205-327-7247 BIRMINGHAM

This small bar and grill in Lake- view is a great place for drinks and the food is worth celebrating as well. Owned by two Italian brothers, Bobby and Johnny Lorina, Rag s specialties include homemade potato chips, baked feta and delicious Italian dishes. My favorite spot for happy hour. Plus the recipes are passed down from generation to generation and are wonderful! Jessica H.
