10Best Dance Clubs
Barcelona
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
15440 N Greenway Hayden Loop, Scottsdale  85260 • 480-603-0370
Distance: ~1.32 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. This multi-faceted establishment boasts two bars, a restaurant, and live music, and it even morphs into a dance club after 10pm. Part of a growing trend of supper clubs, it invites folks to arrive for a fashionably late dinner and then hit the dance floor afterwards. House band Envy gets people moving when they play; the rest of the time, a mixture of R&B and Top 40 suffices. If you wear yourself out, chill on the patio with a glass of wine – there are over 200 varieties from which to choose.

Handlebar J Restaurant & Saloon
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
7116 E Becker Ln, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-948-0110
Distance: ~4.34 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. This Scottsdale legend, a local favorite for over 30 years, caters to cowboys and townies alike with a lively bar, country and western music that gets your boots moving, and a down-home restaurant that dishes up hearty grub. The combined bar and patio allows you to take advantage of temperate weather as you knock back cold ones or chow down on a steak. Inside, take a turn on the dance floor, or just tap your toes to house band The Herndon Brothers, who entertain with a variety of upbeat, country-flavored favorites.

The Buzz

10345 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  85253 • 480-991-3866
Distance: ~4.51 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. A great combination of club and lounge, Buzz offers options for indecisive partiers. The house DJ spins smooth R&B, pop, rock, and an energetic mix spanning disco to hip-hop, while a 12,000-square-foot dance floor tempts patrons with rhythm to get moving. Clubbers with two left feet may wish to seek amnesty in the second-level Rat Pack Lounge, where martinis are poured generously and a fine cigar selection beckons. The club welcomes people 18 and over.

7340 E Indian Plz, Scottsdale  85251-3571 • 480-970-1112
Distance: ~9.92 mi *
        Description: OLD TOWN. Two clubs, joined by a glass catwalk with a high strut-ability factor, lure local trendsetters and celebrities alike. Axis sports a shimmering bar that connects the patio to a comfortable, couch-laden interior. Upstairs, the inventively lit UV Room glows blue. When you're ready to crank it up a notch, wend your way to Radius, where pop, Latin, and techno beats bring the dance floor to life. For a special night out, reserve the VIP Amber Room, which features flowers and twigs captured in a glossy, floating amber bar.

Myst
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
7340 E Shoeman Ln, Scottsdale  85251 • 480-970-5000
Distance: ~9.97 mi *
        Description: OLD TOWN. With four bars in one club, Myst's dance floor stays busy with uninhibited patrons. After imbibing a specialty cocktail such as an apple-infused Tartini, you'll be joining the crush, getting down to rock, electronica, and disco. The very brave even take their chances on elevated platforms. Celebrities occasionally check out Myst's scene, no doubt capitalizing on the profusion of VIP skyboxes complete with balconies and TVs. When you need a break from dancing, shoot a relaxing game of pool in the Ballroom.

Martini Ranch & Shaker Room
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
7295 E Stetson Dr, Scottsdale  85251 • 480-970-0500
Distance: ~10.04 mi *
        Description: OLD TOWN. Sleek, swanky Shaker Room sits atop hard-rocking Martini Ranch and is an oasis of animal-print sofas, cherrywood pool tables, and signature, hand-blended martinis. Come early to avoid lines for a snug dance floor that tends to fill up quickly. DJs lay down a stylish mix of electronica and disco in the always-crowded space, making it easy to lose yourself in the beat. High ceilings, exposed brickwork, and a faintly hallucinatory projection of colors and patterns lend a dreamy feel to the venue, and eager revelers happily submit to the vibe.

        Description: OLD TOWN. Taking the elements of air, water, earth, and fire as its inspiration, this Vegas-styled dance club and lounge offers four unique environments. The low-key Air Patio and Earth Lounge are laid-back spaces where you can enjoy a cocktail and tapas at leisure. When you're ready to kick your evening into high gear, relocate to the Fire Room or Liquid Room for energetic dance or smooth house tunes, respectively. Sleek decor characterizes the club, and running water features and innovative lighting are in line with the elemental theme.

Forbidden Nightclub
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
6820 E 5th Ave, Scottsdale  85251 • 480-994-5176
Distance: ~10.38 mi *
        Description: A nightlife mainstay, this club consistently draws a crowd thanks to ridiculously cheap drink specials (75¢ beers, anyone?) and two dance floors that cater to the clientele's differing tastes. Surrounded by three bars, the primary dance floor attracts the lion's share of clubgoers with mainstream rock and pop. When you need a breather, ascend to the loft area overlooking the action. Alternately, get your angst on in Elbo Room, the smaller of the two floors, where '80s New Wave and old-school hip-hop get things shaking.

Distance: ~10.44 mi *
        Description: SCOTTSDALE. Eminently laid-back during the day, this no-frills joint transforms into a lively club in the evenings. Locals flock here daily for inexpensive drinks, a comfy heated patio, pool tables, and of course, plenty of room to dance. DJs spin on Friday and Saturday nights, and Pattie's also functions as a favorite site for get-togethers and special events. The absence of a cover charge adds considerably to the appeal.
