New York City is considered one of the top nightlife cities in the world with its throng of trendy dance clubs. But weeding through all the pretentious lounges that charge exorbitant prices for entry and cocktails is tasking. We’ve found twelve of the best clubs in NYC for those of you who are genuinely interested in dancing the night away, not just posing by the bar.
1. bOb Bar (235 Eldridge St in Lower East Side)
Brick walls strewn with graffiti, dim lighting and long angular leather couches set the mood for one of the most intimate drinking spots in NYC. But when the DJ arrives at midnight, the party begins. bOb comes alive to the sounds of old-school hip-hop, reggae and R&B. Here, cute 20-30 somethings dance the night away like it’s Saturday night, every night. Get there early if you want to reserve a spot as bOb is a small, intimate space. Join the crowd on the floor and dance till the wee hours of the morning at one of the best clubs in NYC.
2. Bembe (81 S 6th St, Brooklyn)
Located next to the Williamsburg Bridge, Bembe carries a refreshingly different air from its neighboring concrete high-rises. The lounge boasts a Latin-Caribbean vibe as tropical drinks decorate the menu. Try the mojitos, house rum punch or vodka-infused watermelon cocktails. The ethnically diverse crowd and lively Latin music blaring from the speakers persuade your hips to find their rhythm. Sometimes even live drummers perform alongside the DJ and add to the island-like experience. Picture dancing the night away in Little Havana and you will know what it feels like to lose yourself in Bembe. Don’t be intimidated by the Salsa professionals. Everyone’s just there to have a good time.
