Completely remodeled from what used to be the venerable Pig Pen, this modern, cube-like structure is one of the city's biggest late-night dance spots, accomodating up to 700-800 people. This place targets a classy crowd, so door guards can be selective about who gets in (leave the flip-flops at home). For hungry patrons, there's also a Jeff BBQ chain restaurant (12-4 p.m., 5 p.m.-1 a.m.) on the side of the building. --By Douglas Habecker, translated by Angel Pu
