Most nightclubs are at least a bit more formal than bars. Many clubs charge cover fees, and some even require you to have a membership before you can enter. You may also need to meet a specific dress code to get in. Shorts, trainers, and t-shirts probably aren’t going to get you in a high-end club. With lots of space and a dance floor packed with people, the atmosphere at a nightclub is typically more upbeat than what you’ll find in a bar. The music is loud and lively, with beats that make you want to dance the night away.
