Purple Haze is one block south of Beale Street, in what was once a celebrity-owned blues club across from the Gibson Guitar Factory. The 5,000- s.f. club isn't huge, as dance clubs go, but there's lots of flashy lighting and an amped-up sound system that makes the club rock. Purple Haze is one of the few bars off Beale Street that stays open until 5:00 a.m.; the kitchen stays open until 4:30 and serves up typical bar food. DJs play everything from old school dance to electro. The club has an unusual dress code – hats are okay, but no white t-shirts or head scarves.

- Dance Clubs: "The club is open every night, and has super-convenient parking as it is the ground floor of a parking structure."
- Best for Dance Clubs Because: Purple Haze has DJs most nights, and the occasional live band to mix it up.
