Well I'm not sure about the glitz and sparkle, but I have a few suggestions that might fit the bill if you like fun and lively:
If your in the mood for BBQ either Against the Grain, Hammerheads or Feast
Neat snacks and shareables with a funky vibe try Louvino, Holy Grale or Mojito's
More upscale with the same theme try Asiatique or Jack's Lounge
Looking for upscale burgers either Mussel Burger Bar, Game or Grind
Looking for cool ethnic try Palermo or Havana Rumba.
All of these places will allow you to let your hair down so to speak. With-in the boundaries of good taste of course.
They all tend to be a little loud and exciting
