1. Badlands Dance Club

Nightclub

This rambunctious gay nightclub offers one of the best dance experiences in the city.

5. Old Ironsides

Bar

Probably one of the neatest night clubs in the city would be Old Ironsides. Not only does this hot spot offer great live music and dancing, it’s also said to be haunted! Opened in 1934, Old Ironsides is the oldest bar in Sacramento. But don’t let the ghosts drive you away, as the food offered here is amazing and to die for… (no pun intended).

6. Vanguard

Nightclub

This intimate nightclub is the place to go for the ultimate dancing experience. The DJs play a huge variety of music every night and VIP booths are open to those looking to have a high roller kind of night.
