6TH STREET. Although it can be difficult to locate, Barcelona is definitely worth your sleuthing efforts. The hip, underground (literally) club is a stylish boîte whose pale shell is enlivened with bold, colored lighting. Bars anchor the ends of the narrow space, and private areas are peppered about. Thanks to the preferences of individual DJs, the music changes each night, although variations of house are prominent. Patrons take their dancing seriously, so if you can hang, Barcelona's a great place to show off your moves.

NORTH AUSTIN. A great source of fun, Dallas really packs them in, and the dance floor stays busy all night long, whether you're tuned in to Keith Urban and Gretchen Wilson or the renegade Vanilla Ice flashback tune. A mixed crowd mingles effortlessly, as do novice dancers and more accomplished folks. Several bars take care of drink orders, and you can also score beer from stand-alone troughs or shots from roaming servers. If you need something quieter in the midst of the motion, try your hand at pool, or simply take advantage of terrific people-watching opportunities. Affordable and fun.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. The Can, as it's called, has cultivated a reputation for attracting a bevy of fit, clean-cut gay men, and its appeal is longstanding. Themed activities nightly promise something new throughout the week, whether it's karaoke, male dancers or dating games. The dance floor stays busy too, although it's not as hectic a place as it can be at some clubs. Three bars, including one on the outdoor patio, handle drink requests, and a pool table allows for a little competitive wagering. Straight folks are welcome to attend.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. A stylish club with Moorish accents, Red Fez delivers upscale ambience to a relaxed clientele who come to meet up, drink and dance. DJs spin a mix of tunes from night to night, gracing patrons with everything from hip-hop to indie rock to world music. As the night wears on, people give in to their dancing urges and heat up the floor, and you can occasionally catch sight of a Hollywood celeb or two. Although drinks have a reputation for being a little pricy, they also have enough alcohol to be worthy of such fees. Hookahs, available for rent, give you a choice of ten flavors of tobacco.

6TH STREET. Friendly patrons, well-priced drinks, daily specials, a lengthy martini list, and an active dance floor – they're all reasons that Spill ranks as one of Sixth Street's most popular destinations. Its interior washed in warm woods and burnished hues, the club invites folks to show off their best moves to Top 40 and hip-hop songs, or it lets them camp out at a table, nursing a Johnny Mactini or kicking back with a Long Island iced tea. Either way, there's a discernible lack of pretense and a tangible aura of fun.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. Arguably one of Austin's most upscale clubs, Vicci spares no expense in quality and spectacle. The club promotes itself as a mix of Vegas and Cote d'Azur, and from its dramatic lighted waterfall to its subterranean lounge, the place fulfills the assertion. Impeccably dressed patrons come to be part of the phenomenon, drinking creative cocktails and dancing to everything from '80s pop to alternative rock. As they groove, they're cooled with carbon dioxide blasts from above and rained down upon by dry snow. VIP clients get even more flash, thanks to bottle service and specially positioned hideaways.
