This is one of my favorite places to go and watch a great movie and get some beer! It is great to have people bring beer to you while you are watching a movie. They have great cheese fries and burgers and all sorts of food. They occassionally will have some shows like the Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz synchrinization which is also really neat to watch.

Do try to contain your guffaws.) Seriously, I've been in a couple of times to chat with girlfriends over a Marstini (Absolut Citron, Grand Marnier and a lemon twist) or Martian (raspberry bellini) or wine or bourbon. The Pacific Rim food smells good and looks delectable as it passes us by, but we like chatting over dim lamplight and red and black décor and consuming tasty beverages, even if we've never made the 5 to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday happy hour specials. That's OK; the intimate seating arrangement -- 25 people would be quite a crowd -- encourages lovely conversation: how to change careers, for example, or what it means to take risks in writing and in life. Or where to acquire hip new glasses and official geek status for wanting to see the "Firefly" movie sneak previews.

They make drinks with roses in them. OK, one drink called the Lithuanian Rose, and it's not exactly rose petals, more like rose preserve, but the idea still got me excited enough to order it. Made also with Stoli vanilla, sugar and Meyer lemons (yummy Meyer lemons), it smelled a little like a birthday cake and was slightly too sweet for my whiskey-loving self. But it sure was cool to order a drink with roses (the waitress even brought out a little of the jam for me to taste separately with bread). The pomegranate cocktail (pomegranate nectar, amaretto, Absolut Mandarin) was fantastic. And we drank them on the porch, watching a big table of sophisticatedly dressed people celebrate a birthday, and reveling in the neighborhood-y feel: For just a few more weeks, Starlite is on 34th Street between Lamar Boulevard and Guadalupe Street -- then it moves to the old Crimson building in the Warehouse District, where the drinks will mostly stay the same, even though the space will change (and the bar actually get bigger). So stick your head in, find yourself an elegant, rose-petaled cocktail, say goodbye to the lovely porch, and anticipate what's to come.

The upscale sushi restaurant has traditionally nurtured a lively bar scene, with willowy bodies wandering through the tall steel "tables," the tops of which comprise slightly more than a square foot set on four long thin legs -- they're almost spidery chic. Despite its bargains on sushi and rolls during happy hour, early evening seems less popular than late night -- the bar is open until about 10 or 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and about midnight Friday and Saturday -- and while some bar patrons drink while waiting for tables, others show up just for a drink or perhaps a bit of a flirt. Twenty or so sakes are served, and at least that many young, attractive people may make eye contact with you. (They also have a full bar, solid wine list and some nonflirters too.) One Friday night around 10, we had to wedge our bodies into the bar area to get drinks, though we had no trouble finding a place to stand and watch gorgeous platters of fish wander by. Hard to say which made for better viewing: the food or the clothes.

7, the new bar attached to the seafood restaurant of the same name. I like it on the quiet side, but the service is excellent and the wine list is small, fun, varying and offers most wines by the glass (hurrah!). Plus something about that cornflower blue interior makes me sea-like-ly happy (it's officially "Phillipsburg Blue"). Best of all, it stays open late, so if you're on South Congress Avenue and the Hotel San José bar closes and you're not ready to go home yet, you can slide into 7's banquettes, order from the full bar and fun wine list, and even munch on something like fish and chips, one of three salads, risotto and crayfish cakes. And you can order up till 1 a.m. on Saturday nights and midnight during the rest of the week. Happy hour is weekdays from 4 to 6:30 p.m. -- $2 drafts, $4 wells -- for those wishing for libation prior to a show at the Continental Club or a drink after a day of poking about the South Congress shops.

It's not a restaurant, though it has a restaurant, and it's not a bar, though you can buy beer. But in the spirit of places you might not have thought of to have a drink . . . it has an infinity-edge pool with a view of Lake Travis, and when a friend invited me to join her for an afternoon of swimming and beer, I couldn't resist, especially as she covered my $20 day pass (that fee is waived if you're having a spa treatment done). We bought chips and beer in the café, poured our libations into paper cups, wrapped ourselves in spa robes and special spa flip flops and headed out to the pool.
I swim regularly at the University of Texas, which houses one of the world's great pools; I've swum at St. Ed's, Big Stacy, Deep Eddy, Barton Springs, Decker Lake, Rollingwood and Circle C and I'm just back from two weeks in some of the Caribbean's best resorts (though I admit, I was in the ocean far more than the pool). But the Crossings pool is the prettiest one of all. Pop

The Atrium is a white square, bar in the center, and seats about 100. Fiber optic lights -- changing, brightly colored fiber optic lights -- run from the small downstairs bar up to the Atrium, where patrons can avail themselves of the same full menu offered in the main restaurant. Including, on Mondays-Fridays, half-price appetizers, $2.50 margaritas, $2.50 Latin beers and $2.50 well drinks. The videoteca audiovisual lounge experience -- VJs, music videos light shows -- is on hiatus right now, so the pair of TVs are mostly used for sporting events, news, etc., including Tour de Lance action. Plus the whole place is wireless: you can drink and e-mail all at once, an invariably excellent plan.

I've just come from Vivo. The Eastside hot spot offers a lovely deck full of brightly colored plants. But quite frankly, it's too hot to sit outside, and no amount of water -- misted, drunk, poured directly over your head -- can cool the body down enough. Fortunately, Vivo has an inside drinking area. A dozen chairs line the bar, a quartet of tall tables provide plenty of room to nosh, and a pair of large brown leather loveseats complement an ottoman or two and low wooden rustic coffee table. Instead of tropical flowers, vivid paintings of vibrant women match the colors of patrons' margaritas, which come in strawberry, raspberry, mango and prickly pear flavors, along with the more traditional lime. Of course, drinking at Vivo can be expensive: the house margarita is $8.95 (for $21.95 you can have a liter to share with friends-- or daintily sip a small for $4.95), and all 'ritas (except the small ones) come with a orchid in them as garnish -- a gesture so extravagant and gorgeous you forget you've paid $10 for your drink.

Who can resist a Mexican martini? Actually, if you want to keep your wits about you, resisting that martini may be in order. Ah, Trudy's. Summer nights. Khaki shorts. The end of exams, the new promotion, the birthday, the drinks after a day on the boat or running a marathon (seriously, I saw that once). All-day happy hour on Mondays. Chips and salsa and burgers on the deck or in the downstairs bar to staunch the effects of the Mexican martini. Those deadly deadly Mexican martinis.
