Hey everyone - I am new to West Palm Beach and am trying to find out if there are any artsy, hipster hangout places in town to chill out at. Now, from what I've gathered I don't expect West Palm to cater to a progressive, alternative, creative population (and by young I mean 25+), but am still curious to hear if there are any places off the radar I should check out.

So far, Howley's on South Dixie seems like a diner with a pretty cool vibe - am however interested in bars, coffee shops, cafes, even restaurants with an edge.

As for other stuff, downtown Lake Worth has an intersting independent cinema, and there is another one in North Palm Beach.

As much as I appreciate the presence of Clematis Street, I am looking for something more individual and less 'mainstream' if you wish. And possibly in the WPB area. Oh, I am also aware of Respectables but as good as having that is, it is just a generic rock bar on Clematis. There is also a hookah lounge in downtown near the Whitney building - anyone have any experience with that?

I don't mean to come across as picky or anything nor do I hope this thread will devolve into anything but suggestions (or lack thereof) of places aimed at the 'less mainstream' crowd. So, if you know anything, do post and I would be forever appreciative.

It's actually in Lake Park, called Mos'Art Theatre (mosarttheatre.com). Not been there yet so no idea what it's like, but, meh, better than not having it.

I think you covered most of the places I'm familiar with in central and north PBC. Might want to check out Kevro Art Bar (www.kevroart.com) in downtown Delray and Dada's (Dada Restaurant) in downtown Delray...

One would think there would be more around FAU in Boca (big college campus and all that) but the only place I know that you might dig is the Funky Buddah hookah lounge.
