Chayns Nightclub has a strict dress code that is enforced at the door. Dress for a stylish night out to enter. While Tuesdays and Thursdays feature Latin hits and salsa dancing, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the nights to visit for popular tunes from the 1970s to today. Wednesdays and Fridays are also Ladies’ Night at this nightclub on the northwest side. On Saturday nights, if you arrive before 10 p.m., you will pay no cover charge. Aside from the variety of music played on the dance floor, this is one of the few nightclubs in town with a private parking lot close to the door. You won’t have to park on the street when you visit Chayns.

As the name suggests, The Hideout at Capone’s is a bar and lounge behind Capone’s that has a speakeasy style. The Hideout has a small dance floor where a DJ plays the top 40 songs on the weekends, but on some nights, a live band rocks the dance area. While this site may not have the largest dance floor, it has the best food of any pop dance club. Capone’s is famous for its gourmet pizzas, and you will want to get one after working up an appetite on the dance floor.

Once inside, you can enjoy drinks from any of the three bars or dance on one of the two dance floors.

Hush is 18+ on Fridays (but not Saturdays). Toc Bar is 18+.
There are a few good clubs that are 18+, but you usually end up paying a big cover charge (since the club doesn't get any $ off of you from selling alcohol). And some of the better clubs and bars are strictly 21+.
