Visit this neighborhood bar with no dress code and no pretensions. Don't let the outside fool you, inside the atmosphere is all party! They have dancing, juggling bartenders, and a barber's chair so you can be spun around and have a drink straight down your throat. It's the kind of bar your parents are afraid you'll go to when you turn 21. During your night try the $5 small pizzas and three beers special. It's a customer favorite.

Old enough to indulge, but still looking for a 'candy flavored drink' just for fun? Hard Luck Lounge has a lot going for it. The bartenders rock! The décor is a mix of sultry Vegas, combined with neighborhood drinking hole and classy lounge. Formerly the Proof Martini Bar, the Hard Luck Lounge still boasts fifty martinis, but the real reason to frequent this east side den is for its candy-flavored cocktails. Of particular note is the Swedish Fish Vodka. So popular are these sweet-tasting libations that Hard Luck recently launched its own brand of 70-proof, candy-infused vodka.

Check out your favorite bars with 8-20 of your closest friends on your birthday in style. Your friends will love you even more because none of them will have to be the designated driver! There are a few types of birthday limousines depending on what you have in mind. If you are planning to give a party in a limousine then your best choice would be a large party/bus type limousine, which can usually accommodate around 20 people at a time and have arrangements made for a party within. If you are planning just to travel from your home to a club or discothèque and would like to do it in style, go for it, it's your birthday!
