Top 40 R&B booty moving dance clubs

Hello everyone,

My husband and I will be visiting Austin next week and we love to get our groove on. Any suggestions on what clubs might offer great dancing music?

You might try Spin Nightclub(used to be Sky Lounge) at 416 Congress Ave. If they are still around.

Jodi - no fair saving Mr. Ted ! :)

I%26#39;m still interested in what she%26#39;s going to say too!

(sorry whiro2, we all really enjoy helping people on this forum, not trying to take over your thread)

Ok, guys, I don%26#39;t do much booty shaking to Top 40 music, but for the most likely places to have rockin%26#39; music I would just start wandering down 6th Street and listen for something that sounds good. If you want live music, Emo%26#39;s at 6th and Red River is most likely to have a rock or punk or some sort of variation thereof. If you want to dance to music put on by a DJ, your choices may be a bit more limited. There is a dance club on 6th Street called Vice (I think), but I%26#39;ve never been there and know nothing about it. Spiro%26#39;s on Red River just up from 6th Street also plays dance music and when I%26#39;ve been in that area, it always seems lively.

On second thought, Spiros may not be the place to go -- statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs鈥?/a>

Don%26#39;t let this discourage you from visiting downtown Austin. For the most part, I think Austin is incredibly safe and there is a large polic prescence in the 6th Street area. Spiros just may be a bit more lively than I originally thought.

Thanks for the suggestions. I%26#39;ve been doing some of my own research. What do you think about these clubs?

The Marq

Gruv

6 Lounge

Union Park

Canvas

Barcelona

Red Fez

Pangea

Pure Ultra Lounge

I really prefer DJ%26#39;s to live music when it comes to dancing. However, I don%26#39;t like a lot of mixing and scratching of the music. I prefer to dance to the music I hear on the radio.....Top 40.

Sorry I%26#39;m being so picky. It%26#39;s just that when my husband and I get away on vacation from the kids I don%26#39;t want to be disappointed by not being able to find a club to dance at. Dancing fills my soul and I just want to have fun! I%26#39;m not there to drink and act crazy. I go to let loose and ';get my freak on.'; =)

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Pangea and Pure are ';ultra lounges.'; They have high covers, specialize in bottle service, and from what I%26#39;ve heard walking by, play mostly house music, not so much Top 40 radio stuff. A club that plays Top 40 is going to be kind of hard to come by here . . . there just aren%26#39;t a lot of dance clubs to begin with and fewer that are along those lines. Honestly, the best dance places are really gay bars. Oil Can Harry%26#39;s and Rainbow Cattle Company are very lively dance places that attract a pretty mixed crowd on weekends. Gruv, Union Park, and Red Fez are more drinking and hanging out places than dance clubs in my mind, but there will be music playing. I haven%26#39;t heard of the others. Sorry! Try asking at your hotel when you get to town. The valet staff at any hotel usually has the best suggestions. I hope you find what you%26#39;re looking for.
