Nightclubs
(by David)

I might not be the best person to talk about night-clubs in Gainesville as they are numerous, but I really went to only two of them on a regular basis, mostly because I was too old for some of them, and I disliked the music of most of them (I'm incredibly picky with the music I dance to, even more than with the music I listen to). So, I hope somebody will help me with this page soon. :-)

• The Atlantic: 15 N Main Street.
  
  The indie/alternative/brit pop club of Gainesville, the theme might slightly change from night to night, but it's always music I like. One could find me there several nights a week during vacation time.
   

• University Club: 18 E. University Avenue. (but the entrance is behind the building, on NE 1st Avenue.)
  
  Better known just by "UC", this is THE gay club of Gainesville. But the place is so popular that it's getting invaded by straight people (like myself) on certain nights. The two main events of the week are the drag show on Thursdays which is always a lot of fun, and Death Disco on Mondays. And if I'd go out on a Monday  night, there is no way I'd go somewhere else. Let me reformulate; if I didn't have to get up too early on Tuesday, I would go there on Monday night, no excuse. It's just the best music you can imagine in a club nowadays (if you have similar tastes than mine obviously), with an amazing atmosphere, most of the people being regulars, this is the place (out of the classrooms) where I met the most people I think. And of all the places I miss the most from Gainesville, this one is in my top three.
