NEW YORK -- A South Beach lounge located in a former pawn shop, a no-frills Texas joint that pays tribute to Johnny Cash and an Arizona bar where you can watch James Bond movies are among nine U.S. nightspots that made it on to Conde Nast Traveler's annual "Hot List."

The list of the magazine's picks for the world's hottest new hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs appears in its May issue.

Among them are the Pawn Shop, 1222 N.E. Second Ave., in Miami, which has maintained the 1938 facade of the building's original incarnation as a pawn shop. Inside you can sip a cocktail while sitting in a vintage 1977 school bus or the fuselage of a Boeing 727.

Also recommended by the magazine is the Mean-Eyed Cat, 1621 W. Fifth St., in Austin, Texas, a bar named for a song that Cash reputedly took 41 years to finish. The bathrooms are labeled "June" and "Johnny," and there's live music every Thursday on the "If I Were a Carpenter" stage.

At the J Bar, located in the James Hotel at 7353 E. Indian School Road in Scottsdale, Ariz., you can drink a "James" cocktail -- raspberry vodka, elderflower cordial and lime juice -- while watching Bond movies projected on a wall.

Other U.S. nightspots on the list were the Golden Gopher in Los Angeles, the Compound in Atlanta, the Rockit Bar & Grill in Chicago, Body English and Mix Lounge in Las Vegas, and Aer Lounge in Manhattan.
