Voyeur is just getting started when most bars are closing down. This three-level dance club stays open until 3:30 a.m. every night of the week. House and techno music is often emanating from the dance floor, and the people here know how to dance. Voyeur is a great place for those not ready to go home at 2 a.m., as many patrons enter for late-night dancing and drinks after enjoying another bar beforehand. Along with the dancing on the main floor, there is also a basement bar and an upper level VIP area where bottle service is provided.

Rumor is located at 15th and Sansom and has two dance floors - one that primarily plays house music and another that plays mostly top 40 and hip hop. Along with the two dance floors, there is also a VIP area (which, if you're a lady, you shouldn't have difficulty getting into) and another room for a bar. The dance floors and VIP room also have their own separate bars. A $20 cover will get you in, and this nightclub is open from Thursday through Saturday from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Red Sky is a new American restaurant and dance club located in Old City on Market Street. People come to Red Sky for the dancing, atmosphere and music. While the club plays pop and top 40 music, this club also often hosts electronic dance music and dubstep nights. One thing to note, though: Red Sky is tiny, and the drinks are expensive unless you come in when there are drink specials. The cover charge can be as small as $5, but it can be more on certain nights. There is also a VIP section upstairs.
