Wait, there are bars on the west side? The Mercury's booze guide offers an extensive look at "Downtown Destination Drinking," designed for those "trapped" on the west side and in need of a drink. The guide breaks the region down into zones, offering bits of advice for navigating each (pro tip for the Keller Auditorium Zone: "Don't let those rich old people intimidate you, and don't be embarrassed to ask for the cheapest beer on the menu").
