If the art direction of the movie “Moulin Rouge!” made you sit up and take notice, try Club Menage. With a decadent red-and-gold color scheme, this club calls to mind France’s Belle Epoque--with go-go dancers. Plush red booths line the walls, absorbing the thumping bass of nightly live DJ sets. With three club levels, three full bars, and private VIP areas, there is plenty of room to spread out and people-watch. The music varies from dance/trance to R&B to top 40. Open Thursday through Saturday until 2 a.m.; 21-and-over only.

Modeled after a New York-style restaurant/bar/lounge, Neomeze offers a hip setting to chill out and get your groove on. The décor is sleek and modern, with cube-like tables and chairs and Mondrian-style wall panels hung over exposed brick. Weekday happy hour features drink specials and live DJ sessions. Fuel up for dancing with Neomeze sliders (burgers with gruyere, bacon, aioli, and arugula) or tilapia tacos with cilantro cream. The cocktails offer an interesting mix of flavors, such as the “Fig in the City,” with fig vodka, tequila, Citronage, and lychee. Saturday nights feature resident spinner DJ Ruin. Open Tuesday through Sunday.
