10Best Dance Clubs
Lizard Lounge
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
2424 Swiss Ave, Dallas  75204 • 214-826-4768 • 214-826-4769
Distance: ~0.65 mi *
        Description: DEEP ELLUM. Despite the name, you won't find lounge lizards holed up at this eclectic, high-energy club, where the weekend calendar depends on who's manning the DJ booth. One Friday, urban and hip-hop may hold sway over dance-floor denizens; the following Sunday, the lounge may host a fetish ball. Indeed, all genres of music get the limelight. Goth, classic industrial, R&B, rock – if you're into it, Lizard Lounge is the place for you! And if the action inside gets too heavy, a rooftop deck is perfect for catching a quick breath.

Purgatory
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
2208 Main St, Dallas  75201 • 214-651-8850
Distance: ~0.67 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Scenesters and celebs wash away sins at this über-cool mega-club, whose stylish, multi-level layout has three distinct themes. A devilishly cool dance space occupies Level Hell, whose industrial design features polished steel, tin and aluminum surfaces, and a concrete bar. Level Purgatory provides cushy banquettes and intimate tables that are perfect for mixing and mingling. Finally, Level Heaven, awash in white, is a sleek aerie that boasts its own DJs, an angelic waitstaff, and an accommodating circular bar. Higher even than Heaven is an exclusive mezzanine bar known as Upper Heaven – its tables must be reserved in advance.

Round-Up Saloon
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
3912 Cedar Springs Rd, Dallas  75219 • 214-522-9611
Distance: ~1.77 mi *
        Description: OAK LAWN. Two-stepping, tight denim, and 10-gallon hats attract Big D's best-looking cowboys to this country-western bar, which caters to a mostly gay clientele. Chipping in on the joint's popularity are great drink specials (Margarita Madness on Mondays, 22-oz. drafts for three bucks every day) and a calendar full of fun weekly activities like karaoke, line dancing (lessons are free), and Friday and Saturday's Howdy Hour. Of course, the top crowd pleasers are "duded-up" events like Miss Gay Round Up, Miss Cinco de Mayo, and the Switch-Hitters Ball.

The Mining Co.
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
3903 Cedar Springs, Dallas  75219 • 214-521-4205
Distance: ~1.79 mi *
        Description: OAK LAWN. Styled after a mineshaft – but fashionably so, of course – TMC is a certain favorite if you're into loud music, drag queens and late-night dancing. Part of a quartet of like-minded establishments on the same block, this cavernous club features themed nights each week, and each one brings a different crowd and a different brand of music, from hip-hop to house to '70s and '80s. Terrific draft and well specials accompany events, and there's no doubt that you'll spend some interesting time in the mineshaft.

2009
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
10580 N Stemmons Fwy, Dallas  75220 • 214-654-9595
Distance: ~8.06 mi *
        Description: NORTHWEST DALLAS. Habla español? If you don't already, hopefully you can by the end of 2009! This Latino discoteca is a relative newcomer to Dallas's nightlife scene. Spanish beats play as experienced and amateur dancers show off their salsa and merengue dance moves. Providing refreshment at the bar are plenty of mixed drinks and beer. Patrons between the ages of 18 and 21 must pay a minimum cover charge of $5. Located off I-35 near Irving Texas Stadium.
