The Coolest Dance Clubs in New York

Comments  (0)

Aug 7, 2012 —  Sometimes you just want a chilled out night where you can sip a couple drinks and wax poetic about the wonders of the universe. But tonight, we’re looking to get wild at crazy dance clubs with teeth-rattling bass lines and bold pyrotechnic productions. The clubs in New York are calling us like the Pied Piper – except with bottle service in place of a flute. And sparklers.

Nothing defines a perfect Friday or Saturday like hitting a packed dance floor dressed in killer gear you hope your parents never see, and thanks to New York’s incredible variety and far-reaching expanse of top clubs, nothing defines a perfect Monday through Thursday and Sunday too!

Every type of club imaginable can be found in The Big Apple. From cavernous velvet-roped temples in the Meatpacking District where being a 9 makes you the girl-next-door, to the gritty underground warehouses of Williamsburg filled with head-banging hipsters, to friendly college haunts that apologize neither for the blaring Top 40 or the ridiculously fruity cocktails.

Dolled-up, dressed-down, and everything in-between, here’s the 411 on some of our favorite New York dance clubs.

Just leave your flute at home. Flutes are never cool unless they’re filled with champagne.

    Webster Hall

    Bar / Club / Live Music Venue / Lounge

    Webster Hall - Bar | Club | Live Music Venue | Lounge in New York.
    It’s not hard to see how Webster Hall came to be known as the first modern nightclub – since its inception back in 1886, this multilevel space has shown a chameleon-like ability to transform from dance hall to live music venue or from hip-hop hangout to salsa palace. Once past the door and into the foyer, young patrons of every

    Santos Party House

    Club / Lounge / Music Venue

    Santos Party House - Club | Lounge | Music Venue in New York.
    The area south of Canal Street where Santos Party House resides may look barren and uninviting by day, but after dark, the place comes alive with a boisterous crowd of hipsters eager to dance and groove to a throbbing beat. Launched by 90s nightlife legends Andrew W.K. and Spencer Sweeney, Santos is a gritty, bi-level, 8,000-square-foot club where

    Mehanata Bulgarian Bar

    Bar / Club / Drinking Activity

    DJ firing up the crowd at Mehanata Bulgarian Bar in New York!
    Outsiders may wonder why so many young New Yorkers happily pay a $10 cover charge just to get into the somewhat seedy Mehanata Bulgarian Bar, but those in on the secret know that once inside, they’ll find a no-holds-barred pleasure palace where almost anything goes. Patrons who dare step into the dark dance den with its swirling lights, giant disco

    Greenhouse

    Greenhouse - Club | Event Space | Gay Club | Lounge in New York.
    The first entirely “green” club in New York, Greenhouse is a sprawling dance venue and lounge whose ever-changing lineup of DJs and musical genres attracts everyone from fashionable club kids on hip-hop nights, affluent hipsters on the weekends, and a gay-and-more scene for wild parties featuring performers, drag queens, and a parade of costumed

    Cielo

    Club / Lounge

    Cielo - Club | Lounge in New York.
    An exciting dance hall that distances itself from the traditional Meatpacking mega-club template, Cielo is clearly dedicated to the rhythm and the music. A pulsating bass gets the head-nodding started in the foyer, where lines of hip young professionals and beat-happy club kids getting frisked and ID’d start grooving before they even enter the

    Pink Elephant

    Club

    Pink Elephant - Club in New York.
    After getting booted from Chelsea back in 2010, sparkler-strewn and models-and-bottles paradise Pink Elephant spent over two years off the NY club scene before returning in 2012 with a smaller, mildly gentler, but still glitzy incarnation. Hidden on a largely residential stretch of 8th Street, the venue requires its savvy guests to first descend
