Axis/Radius
Axis/Radius--as the name implies--is two nightclubs in one. Axis is comfortable and stylish with a cigar bar, while Radius is glassy, glitzy, and techno. Everyone who's anyone has stopped into Axis/Radius, including celebrities, famous athletes, and other rich and famous folks. Underwent a renovation in 2006. Details:

Anderson's Fifth Estate
Anderson's Fifth Estate has been around longer than most clubs in the Valley--more than 20 years. Not quite as pretentious as some other clubs, but you'll still be able to see a famous person now and then. The Gin Blossoms played here before they became international stars.Details:

Q Lounge
Q Lounge is adjacent to Bobby Q's, a barbecue restaurant that took over the space that was occupied by Bobby McGees for many years. Diners at Bobby Q's can go next door to the Q Lounge. This night club has the standard array of beautiful people, but there are also dress down hours, games and contests, and munchies. If Scottsdale's too far or too foo-foo, Bobby Q's is near Metrocenter.

Coyote Alley
I admit it. This is not a glitzy night club like some of the others listed here. I don't think that Beyonce or Ryan Philippe are stopping in here. Hey, it's in Surprise! It's mostly country, and mostly a bar with entertainment and dancing--DJs and live bands. There aren't many other options for good nightlife in the northwest part of town.

Rockin' Rodeo
Graham Central Station in Tempe is 4 clubs in one, but I spotlight Rockin' Rodeo on this list, because there aren't as many country dance clubs in the area as one might expect. This one's got a big dance floor. Check the event calendar for line dancing lessons.
