"Bordering the Fashion District, this downtown hotspot is a combination of dance music, spirits (its nickname is the “House of Agave”), and tacos. Show up earlier in the night during happy hour for an El Chamuco (a take on the classic El Diablo with ginger beer and crème de cassis) and watch the space fill up as night falls and the DJs start to spin. Somewhere between a bar with a dance floor and a club with quality drinks, Pattern Bar is a favored place to dance on a sweaty summer night." - Robert Spuhler
