Current is best known as a weekend lounge destination, a sleek two-story club with DJs and velvet ropes. During the week, however, it’s one of the city’s most underrated sushi bars. Grab a seat at the cool glass-topped counter between 5 and 7 p.m. weekdays and order delicious eel or yellowtail nigiri or spicy white tuna rolls for $4, and wash them down with a $5 Japanese beer.

The sleek, trendy lounge offers a sushi bar and cocktails for the after-work crowd, then breaks out the DJ and bottle service after dark.

Voted one of the best “adult happy hours” by the Going Out Gurus.
