nightclub
Late-night spot
A nightclub is an establishment open late at night for drinking, dancing, and entertainment.
Unlike bars, nightclubs typically feature a dance floor, DJ or live music, and often charge admission.
The atmosphere emphasizes socializing, dancing, and spectacle: We hit the nightclub around midnight.
To nightclub is to visit such venues: They spent the weekend nightclubbing.
