Seattle Dance Clubs to Know
Trinity
Spend a night wandering Trinity in Pioneer Square, where three rooms and two dance floors let the mood change as you move around. Expect EDM, house and bass to fill the speakers. Trinity runs both 18-plus and 21-plus nights, making it one of the few options for younger dancers, so check the club's calendar to see which age policy applies on your night.
Q Nightclub
Catch electronic dance music at Q Nightclub on Capitol Hill, a club known for its strong sound system and lighting. This is the room for you if how a space sounds and looks matters as much as who is behind the decks.
Vice
Find Vice on Minor Avenue on Capitol Hill, right next to Voodoo Doughnuts. It is 21 and over at all times, with themed nights rotating through R&B, hip-hop and house, and some weeknights have carried no cover charge. Look up guest list, ticket and table details on the club's own site before you head over.
Barboza
Barboza is the sister room to Neumos on Capitol Hill, and it throws dance parties on weekends. The smaller, more focused setting suits a late night spent mostly on the dance floor. Pair it with a show at Neumos and you have a full evening in one spot.
Neumos
Neumos is a Capitol Hill live music venue that holds roughly 800 people. It plays more like a concert room than a classic club, yet it anchors many nights out on the Hill. If you love seeing a band before you go dancing, make it your first stop.
Kremwerk
Kremwerk in the Denny Triangle books DJs alongside comedy and burlesque, so bring a group that wants more than one kind of entertainment in a night. It is also a solid pick when you are after a comedy night that can roll right into dancing.
Supernova
Dance under a rotating pegasus at Supernova in SODO, a club admired for its welcoming, inclusive crowd and its over-the-top, theatrical style. That winged centerpiece above the floor tells you plenty about the mood. Supernova opens on weekend nights and runs late, so plan your evening accordingly.
