Thor: Numero Uno place for you is Dino Lee's glorious ode to the Rat Pack era of tiki, Oceans Eleven (with their signature flaming Kamanawanaleya drink). It's located on the corner of 8th and Red River, downtown, catty-corner from Stubb's BBQ (and a fine BBQ establishment it is). Gorgeous interior, great drinks, even nattily dressed bartenders and waitresses. Dino is also known as Mr. Fabulous, a great lounge act, and they sometimes perform there.

The spot out on the lack is The Oasis, and a beautiful location it is. It's kind of a yuppie haven, but you know, the view just can't be beat in Austin. Bonus: the crowd applauds the sunset.

Don't miss the Continental Club for great live music (but hell, everywhere there has great music on some night of the week, if not all.) But avoid most of 6th St. if you can; too many drunk frat boys. There's a really atmospheric place on 5th St., closer to Lamar, called maybe "Fez"? It's beautiful North African decor.
