'you can't go too wrong at bishop's lounge ( 413-585-9200), where the music's often pretty good and the cover is usually only a couple of dollars. it's not a sit-down-and-clap-after-the-solos jazz bar so much as a place to stand and sway in a crowd of young martini drinkers while a combo that describes itself as groove-fusion or irish-jewish-folk-punk does its thing in the corner and smokers do theirs out on the balcony. the pearl street nightclub (10 pearl street, 413-584-7771), a few doors down, is more of a rock and hip-hop club, while across the street is the entrance to the tunnel bar (413-586-5366), a former train tunnel and now a fine place to get the ringing out of your ears when you've had enough.''
