Talullas, 456 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill
Talullas is known for its delicious Turkish decor and beautiful Middle Eastern food (and vice versa) but is becoming just as popular for its late-night scene, six nights a week. After the kitchen shuts down at 10 p.m., the place is transformed into a dance club. It's packed on Friday and Saturday nights with rotating themes like Latin dance one week and DJ Marco and DJ Mogambo spinning Bollywood, bhangra, hip hop and reggaeton another. And there are movies, jazz and more relaxed lounge music the rest of the week. Best of all, the place doesn't clear out at the stroke of 2--when the party's really hopping, it hangs on until 2:30.
