Best Dance Clubs in Orange County, California

S H
There are many hot spots throughout Orange County to party the night away, but some are just better than others. Instead of hopping around all of Southern California to find your perfect club, check out these if you haven't already.

Pierce Street Annex

330 East 17th Street

Cosa Mesa, CA

Open daily 12pm-2am

The Pierce Street Annex is a laid-back bar by day and completely transforms itself into a club by night. One of the top dance spots in Orange County, this is a unique venue that offers great music and food that you can cook yourself on the barbeque out on the large patio. You are also allowed to bring your own food in and cook it if you choose, as well.

There is always something going on here. On Sundays there is live music from 4-8pm and no cover charge. Pool leagues group on Mondays, and Tuesdays are Taco and Trivia night. Wednesday and Thursday nights have wonderful drink specials - 3 drinks for $10 and 3 drinks for $11 respectively. Friday and Saturdays are reserved for dancing to great live music and DJs.

The atmosphere is what you'd generally expect out of a club - wild and energetic. The dance floor itself is a bit small, so when the place gets packed, it really does get packed. The outdoor patio is a nice escape from this if you need a bit more quiet and some fresh air.

A lot of people seem to work here, and all of them are very friendly and more than efficient. The bartenders know just what they're doing.

Cover charge varies, but on Sundays and your birthday you don't have to pay up!
