Home of Wicker Park's longest-running dance party, Debonair Social Club is a multi-media space housed on two levels of the historic Flat Iron Building. There are DJ booths and drinks on each floor; a stage and dance floor upstairs; and a sound system dance floor in the basement lounge. Touting itself as a center of "music, food, art, romance and dancing," Debonair hosts events from Perry Farrell's pre-lease Lollapalooza parties to burlesque.
Neo Thursdays bring New Wave tunes in an 80's video dance party: Fridays, on the main floor, it's Top 40, Hip-Hop, House and Trap sounds; both floors rock on Saturdays; and it's a pizza/dance party every Sunday.
Check social media to learn about live bands (past performers include Alkaline Trio, Disturbed and Urge Overkill). DSC's DJ roster includes names like Thom Yorke; Diplo; The XX; The Hives; The Boxer Rebellion; The Donnas; and The Cool Kids.

- Dance Clubs: "Count on every kind of cuisine near the club, from Furious Spoon's ramen to Southern dishes at Dove's Luncheonette, for pre-dancing fuel."
- Best for Dance Clubs Because: With two floors of music and dancing and reasonable cover charges, DSC is an alternative to some of the faux swank clubs in River North.
