Santa Clara Dance Clubs

Avalon
777 Lawrence Expressway, Santa Clara, California; Tel. 408.241.0777
The Avalon dance club in Santa Clara was once solely dedicated to showcasing only DJ talent, but now, the owners have gotten wise and started mixing up your standard DJ fare of techno, house trance and hip-hop with Middle-Eastern themed dance nights. Also the Avalon has started hosting live music shows that include a veritable roll call of '70s and '80s rockers—so catch them down at Avalon in Santa Clara soon before these acts stop touring and start collecting Medi-Care.

Club Savoy
3546 Flora Vista Ave., Santa Clara, California; Tel. 408.244.6909
The hottest all woman gay club in Santa Clara, probably in the entirety of the South Bay, is Club Savoy which functions as a self-styled lesbian clubhouse, with pumping DJ dancing and raucous partying nearly every night of the week. The DJs take a much needed break on Wednesdays, however, to give the ladies a chance to try their signing chops at Club Savoy's karaoke night.

Tinker's Dam
46 N. Saratoga Ave., Santa Clara, California; Tel. 408.243.4595
As Santa Clara's partying gay bar, Tinker's Dam sports a youngish crowd of well-manicured guys drinking and dancing with their shirts off until closing time. There's a minimum of attitude fronted from the regulars at Tinker's Dam and, those in the know all show up on Sundays for the wildly popular free barbecue.
