While Lancaster, Pennsylvania, isn't Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, as the 8th largest city in the state, it still boasts quite the nightlife. Six colleges in the city make for a youthful presence in the clubs. Although a few of the clubs still stick to playing disco music from the 1970s, the college students have fun dancing the nights away.
Chameleon Club
This somewhat expensive club features 10,000 square feet of entertainment. They usually open their doors at 7 p.m. daily and close at 2 a.m. You have to be 19 years old to enter, but 21 to drink. The club includes seven bars with different themes, live music and dance floors. It is similar to a House of Blues because they have live bands and charge tickets for those shows but also have a dance club afterward. There is a small cover charge to get in, and drinks are more expensive here than elsewhere.

Rick's Place
This rentable space is used mainly for school dances and underage one-time events. However, it's open every Saturday for dancing for anyone under the age of 21. The attire for this club is usually semi-formal, mainly because the space is usually used for organized dances. Nonalcoholic drinks are served, as this is an underage club. They'll only accept cash and they charge a small fee to get in the doors.

Village Nightclub
This older dance club still has a 1970s disco feel to it. It's one of the only bars left in Lancaster that still allows smoking indoors. Because it's in a somewhat sketchy area, the club has gone downhill in recent years. Different nights are more popular than others, such as Wednesday night, which is college night. They play different decades of music on different days and feature special deals throughout the week, especially on drinks. There is a small cover charge to get inside.
