| Name | Location | Description |
| Upstairs Lounge | 3131 S Grand Blvd | When you don’t want the party to stop, head to Upstairs Lounge. A local STL institution for 25 years, this club is like a never-ending dance party. Upstairs Lounge keeps the night going strong with an array of DJs spinning EDM. |
| Club Viva! | 408 N Euclid Ave | Nestled in the Central West End, you’ll barely notice Club Viva! during the day. Come in at night, though, and you’re in for a unique and memorable time. Salsa, reggae, Bollywood, and other themed events are always on the calendar and will get your feet (and hips) moving. |
| Pop’s Blue Moon | 5249 Pattison Ave | More bar than dance club, Pop’s Blue Moon is a place for people who don’t want to hit the usual sweaty spots to dance. Six nights a week, Pop’s Blue Moon will hook you up with some quality live music (ranging from funk to bluegrass), solid drinks, and a reliably good time. |
| HG Dance Club | 2617 Washington Ave | HG Dance Club is the spot for some upbeat dancing in an upscale setting, with a hip-hop soundtrack setting the mood. All in all, it’s enough to make HG Dance Club one of the clear-cut top dance clubs in St. Louis. |
| Mike Talayna’s Juke Box Restaurant | 1115 Hampton Ave | Mike Talayna’s Juke Box Restaurant (or just “T’s”) isn’t a quaint, quiet establishment. But when the party starts (especially on Wednesdays, which brings a big young crowd), the disco balls and neon-lit walls just add to the party atmosphere. |
| Olive Bar | 3037 Olive St | Olive Bar is a lux nightclub venue, with a spacious dance floor and private booths, as well as additional private areas and a rooftop patio. But the real draw is the fun events like pop-up dance parties and reggae music on the rooftop that keep the dance floor packed week after week. |
| PBR St. Louis | 601 Clark Ave #202 | PBR certainly isn’t the only spot worth visiting in Ballpark Village, but it is one of the most enjoyable. On a Friday or Saturday night, join the packed crowd at this country-themed bar for some drinking, dancing, and maybe some mechanical bull riding as well. |
| Oz | 300 Monsanto Ave, Sauget, IL | Oz is for people who are true night owls. Come here for energetic dancing long past when everyone else has gone to bed at a spot that stays open until 5AM on Thursday and 6AM on Friday and Saturday nights. |
| Club Europe | 710 N 15th St | The patrons of Club Europe come here for one thing only, and that’s to have a good time. A Who’s Who of EDM DJs have graced the decks at this venue, where a range of inventive dance parties guarantee a night of fun. |
| Club Elite | 813 Kingshighway Blvd | Offering a well-staffed venue with plenty of drinks on offer, Club Elite caters to a slightly older crowd with a penchant for dancing. There’s often a small cover charge for men, but the regulars who flock here happily pay it for a good time. |
