A modern day choice that affects many residents in the city of Sacramento is where they will spend their evenings. Young adults sometimes have a struggle to find something exciting and safe to do on the weekend. There are various stimuli that may persuade certain individuals to make the decision to go out. Today, many people choose to spend their evenings and nights at dance clubs. According to "Sacramento's Nightlife," dance clubs are typically a social, and cultural experience that many people choose to go to for entertainment purposes (Leibrock 1). The sights, sounds, and overall atmosphere of these clubs, are mixed together to allow for an unforgettable experience for the individuals who choose to attend. As stated in a Sacramento Bee's article, "Sacramento's Nightlife," Sidelines, The Rage, and Club Tropicana are three of the most popular dance clubs in Sacramento (Leibrock 2).
Sidelines is a duo combination of a sports bar and a dance club, which lies in the heart of Old Sacramento. This dance club is a great place to come for a drink, eat burritos, watch a live sports game, hang out with friends, and to dance. As indicated by the article, "Sports Club Kicks Up Its Heals on Two Dance Nights," while the sports games are on, this gathering spot offers the stereotypical sports bar atmosphere with a well-stocked bar, a few pool tables, and big-screen TVs that show every game in town (Leibrock 1). Although, once the final buzzer sounds and the weekend comes around, the sports buffs depart and make way for waves of exuberant, glow stick-flashing night clubbers who want nothing more than a strobe-lit dance floor on which they can dance to all night. The bar and dance club features a driving selection of rock, pop, techno, rap, R&B, and Latin tunes that lures dancers onto the dance floor. With its low ceiling, dark walls and expansive layout, Sidelines Sports Bar & Club has an atmosphere that has the makings for a secretive, underground vibe.
