Loud and boisterous, this club lets loose with western spirit, inviting authentic cowboys to mix with those whose only tie to the lifestyle is their clothing. The enormous space boasts a large dance floor, where patrons kick and stomp their way around, following the latest steps. Depending on the night, you'll also find live bands, DJs spinning tunes, and dance lessons offered for those who want to hone their skills. The club is well-attended throughout the year by a diverse crowd, although when Stampede rolls around, it gets absolutely packed with visitors to the annual event. Fun and rambunctious.

Although the venue isn't incredibly large, Escape is a great place to run to for a night of dancing. Music of all sorts is on the agenda, including house, dance, urban, trance, and even Top 40 and Latin tunes. The clientele are stylishly dressed, and they come to see and be seen. Saturday is the club's most popular night, and you'll likely have to wait in line before being admitted. Come early to skirt the crowds; that way you'll find a good vantage point to check everyone out as they enter.

Although it's nominally a dance club, this popular gay venue offers a host of other activities as well. Throughout the week, DJs spin a range of music, everything from Top 40 to techno, trance, and house. Patrons thrill to the rhythms, dancing with abandon until the wee hours. The club hosts other events too, like charity pool tournaments, strippers, drag shows, and special drink nights. On the lower level of the dance club's building is the Rekroom, a private lounge (out-of-town guests are welcomed) that features billiards, drink specials, and a variety of entertainments (karaoke, drag shows). Happy hour is held each day from 4pm-9pm.

Music takes the forefront at this well-attended dance club, which is a favorite of the younger crowd. They pack into the 6000 square feet of space, shaking their booties to C & W tunes and to retro rock as well. Depending on the night you go, you'll find live bands and events like ladies' night, mechanical bull riding, and music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Large screen TVs cater to the sports fans. Drink specials and a full menu ensure that you don't do without your favorite food or beverage.

One of Calgary's newest ventures, this expansive club boasts 20,000 square feet of fun and entertainment. The space is divided into a primary room that has a huge dance floor and an amazing light show. It's connected to the slightly smaller Sugar Lounge, which boasts private spaces and pool tables for those who want to escape the hectic pace of the main room. DJs play Top 40, urban, hip-hop, dance, and retro tunes to get the crowds humming, and special theme nights are regularly held. Drink specials are constant, and you'll even find happy hour deals. Women can look forward to male strippers on Thursday nights, and college kids can hop the Pandemonium bus when it picks up and delivers from their school.
