The place gets cramped as hell, but it's always fun, and even at its worst, it's only mildly Eurotrash-y. It's the coolest little bar the Market area has to offer.

The décor here is swell and modern while the music is hip and melodic. There is a well-considered balance between open, meeting-people space and cozy getting-to-know-you corners.

The elegant dancehall is the perfect place to cut a few swing or salsa steps — or if you don't know how, to get close to someone and learn.

Precisely the kind of club you'd expect to find inside a center run by artists: quirky, energetic, accepting and ever so slightly retro in feel.

This is a cool club with lots of great live and DJ grooves that tend towards hip-hop and electronica.

What this smallish club lacks in size it more than compensates for in quality. You'll hear everything from reggae to house beats here, and Contour's after-hours events are terrific.

With its two levels, three dance floors and endless parade of local and international DJ talent, this is a place for people who prefer not to leave a night of fun to chance.

The Little Red Hen is a real honest-to-Gilley's honky-tonk. The heartbeat of the establishment, live country western music , beats six nights a week (Wednesday nights are for karaoke). Don't fail to rustle up the bar grub - it's damn good.

Shake yo' badonkagoth at this underground haven for rivetheads and batcavers — that is, if you can get in. It's a members-only club.

It's a big, old school gay bar where the music's an infectious throw-back to the '80s, the drinks are reasonable, the overall vibe very affable.

If you were a regular at Moe's, Neumo's will feel like coming home, but even if you never stepped foot inside the original venue, it's a fine place to see a show. Sightlines are good and the sound mix nice and loud.

Reasons to love Noc Noc: the DJs assemble terrific techno, goth and hip-hop mixes, the cover rarely goes above $5, and the prevailing attitude on the floor is laissez-faire.

Unpretentious and queer-friendly, Re-bar is the place to let it all hang out. Dance to deep house, punk and new wave tracks in any damn way you please.

This downtown club is the workhorse of Seattle's live music and entertainment scene. Most every touring band, DJ and comedian you can name has played here at least once, and will likely play here again.

This 1,700-capacity annex to Seattle's best club-sized venue aims to continue and expand upon the good work of its parent.

True to its name, this Asian-flavored nightclub has three distinct rooms, each with its own distinct sound and vibe, and boasts regular visits from international DJs.

Techno and house beats reign at this enormous Vegas-style club, where everyone is tanned, full of vodka and under the age of 28, and the come-hither vibes fly fast and furious.

This handsome venue has it all: a terrific rooftop patio bar, a bustling happy hour and a spacious dance floor and stage that hosts everything from hip-hop to indie rock. Check out the constructivist-style artworks by "Obey Giant" creator Shepherd Fairey.
