MONTROSE. For some of the city's premiere dancing, take advantage of this always-hip gay club. Within its walls, pulsating mixes of the world's top music have patrons moving to the beat, showing off toned bodies, coiffed cuts, and expensive clothes.

WEST HOUSTON. Toss a bit of spice into the nightlife mix at Tropicana, which gets rave reviews for its sexy salsa dancing and vivacious patrons. No one's shy when they take to the dance floor, and club-goers are eager to show off their best moves, so it's not uncommon for the place to get crowded. If you simply want to sit and watch, that's okay, too. A full bar serves drinks galore, and large screens highlight Latin music videos or in-house bands. You'll also find fine cigars in stock.
