Personal comments
Generally, midtown is the best area to go for nightlife. Plenty of little cafes which present shows by local bands with little or no cover charge. Good spots are the Fox'n'Goose or the Capitol Garage. A nice cafe, also to study duringb the day, and to meet people, is Weatherstone's.
