Nightown

Maybe my expectations were low because of the horrendous reviews. But it actually wasn’t half bad at Nightown.
Yup, not your classiest establishment. But who can expect classy from a $ 25 all you can drink club? Who can expect classy for an 18+ club? And who can expect classy from any bar or club in off the coast of Florida, anyway?
Once you get carded at the door, if you’re over 21 you get a wristband and you pay inside. If you have a wristband, you can get in and out of the club easily.
The club was so interesting. To the left of the entrance was a saloon/​bar type feel, with pool tables and arcade games surrounding the bar. Right at the entrance of the club was also a taco bar. Like what? $ 3 a taco, and these tacos were insane. Cash only, so bring some cash. To the right of the entrance was, of course, the night club section. The dance floor was right there, with a stage for the DJ, the go go dancers and the infamous bikini contest. Girls got to get on stage and dance their faces off. Classy to the max.
My friend claimed that the bartenders were HOT. So for the guys (or girls) interested, they are definitely pretty skimpily dressed.
Overall, sure, I had a good time. Wish the drinks were stronger but hey, it’s all you can drink, what do you expect?

This is a pretty cool nightclub. It can get pretty packed on a Friday night. I went here with the bachelor/​bachelorette group this past Friday. We arrived around 10 PM, and the place was empty as heck. After a couple of drinks and pictures in, the place became filled.
We def negotiated and got the entrance fees down to $ 20 per person for unlimited drinks. I mean. We had a party of either 22 or 23. I don’t even know since we counted so many times. We couldn’t count apparently. Lol!
The was two main areas. The main area with live music was for the causal drinkers out front. There was a more private area towards the back with a balcony view. This was the area we segregated around. Throughout the night there were shout outs for the bride. :) The music played was pop? I don’t really remember, but it was modern. Lol. I think there was a live DJ too, but again, I wasn’t paying that much attention. Oh. The bathrooms were outside of this private area. It’s in the hallway between the two areas. Just make note of this before you start drinking. Lol.
Parking was pretty plentiful since we arrived early. The parking lot wasn’t huge, but if you carpool, you’ll make it.

Wayne stayed on stage for literally two minutes, the place smells like an ash stray, and everyone who comes there is a fucking joke. Fuck. Night. Town.

Watered drinks, over charging on credit cards, worst music system, dark and shady… enough said. Save ur time and MONEY!!!

Visiting Destin with a bachelorette party. We had high expectations after seeing the Unilocal reviews, but PLEASE heed my elite review warning.
Major fail on our part for booking «VIP» upstairs — DON’T DO IT. Apparently a waitress quit that night. Not my group’s problem! We could tell the 1 remaining waitress for all of VIP was doing the best she could, but it’s no excuse after shelling out $ 300 for an exceptional time (which I think the front guy pocketed btw). Yes, we did get open bar, but so did the rest of the club.
The only decent drink was crown and coke. The «special shot» tasted like juice, our washington apples tasted like grenadine syrup, our jäger bombs tasted like straight energy drink. Got groped numerous times just visiting the downstairs dance area. It was probably by a kid, because this was seemingly 22-​and-​under night on a Saturday.
So what’s VIP you ask? $ 300 for a dirty seating area, no dedicated waitress, no apology, no money back for the inconvenience, no cab fare to get the heck out of there. We could’ve paid just the $ 20 cover for the same experience to recognize this place is whack. Don’t even waste your time — better off going to a bar. The only plus of the night? Lumpia and fried rice via the Filipino lady at the front!

All you can drink! Not quite… unless you know the bartenders. Stood in line for about 30 min to get one drink. This place blows.

Great night last night. $ 20 entry & all you can drink. Smoking area in Bar room, no smoking in the main club. VIP bottle service available.

Not very appealing front of the club and 25 $ per person fee made us almost want to turn around. But we’ve decided to check it out anyway. While the place is pretty big and was kind of empty, the dance floor turned out to be tiny and crowded. The music was good but with no place to dance it was really pointless for us to be there. I’ve been asking random people around and never really heard anything good about Nightown but as I understand different people look for different things I like to check things out for myself. I tried to keep as open mind as possible but me and my husband were both pretty disappointed.

I had low standards for Nightown.
I’ve clubbed in NYC, LA, Vegas, Tokyo and London– been to the biggest clubs and parties and I was a big club rat. So coming to a small town, I expected very little. The outside of the club could get a facelift, and the 15 $ for women 21+ and 20 $ for locals made me hesitate even more (most good clubs have a 30 $+ cover) and the first place you enter is weird. There’s pool tables, video games, a bar and a constantly empty dance floor with a lonely DJ. I was worried it was going to be a bomb, until we went into the main dance floor.
It looked like a standard good club. The set up, lights and everything looked really good.
The good: Free drinks. I’m not kidding. Your pay to get in pays for your drinks. BUT they can only put an ounce in each drink. So you just need to drink 5 or 6 and you’ll be blasted
The DJs are good! Not the best I’ve seen, but they get the job done
Did I mention free drinks?
Smokers smoke in a different room (thank GOD)
The bad:
There’s too many dudes. The dude to chick ratio is 4:1 and the guys try SO hard to get into the cluster of girls that are there, it’s redic.
God, this is going to make me sound so mean, but… they let anyone in. Anyone. Creepy guys, girls that are the size of small planets. I mean, I know it’s the south, but you could at least keep undesirables out.
Dance floor is too small :/​
The bouncers look like the staff at a theme park.
There were cops chilling outside the club. Uh. Hey officers.
It’s a 18+ club, so there are kids running around. It’s not that big of a deal, but sometimes it gets annoying.
NO ONE can dance. I guess that’s a good/​bad, because if you can dance above average, you’ll look like a super star.
I had a good time and I would recommend this place. Not if you’re a dude or if you’re looking for hot chicks though.
NOTE: DON’T SHOW UP AT THIS PLACE BEFORE 12:30. They tote themselves as a late night club, and if you show up at 11:20, no one is there. But things hit their peak between 12:30 and 2 am

It bugs the shit out of me that they spell the name of this place with one «T» especially since the sign over the door says «nt», implying that it’s actually two words… nevermind. On to the review!
Fightown-​er, Nightown is the prototypical Miami-​esque nighclub here in Destin. It’s a little hard to find the firstime, but it’s still close enough to the main highway not to be too far off the beaten path.
I’m not a big fan of Nightown. They have a habit of having you wait in line, and when you get inside it won’t even be at half capacity. Talk about creating a stir when no one can see. They do a lot of different types of themed parties and concerts, and usually promote the «$ 20 all you can drink» deal, which for a bar or nighclub usually screams «Swirling the drain.» Perhaps it just isn’t my scene, and that’s not Nightown’s fault, but I stopped coming here because of bad security and bad bar business. Not too much has changed since then, as far as I can tell.

It’s like any other typical dance club… bars, dj and a dance floor. Nothing impressive, but not too bad either.

This review is based on their New Years Eve performance. The cover was $ 20 all you can drink. There were only well drinks, other higher-​end liqueurs were not available. Just cheap shitty tasting drinks and shots. There was a large bar upstairs that was clearly packed with people, but only two bartenders behind the bar. They could have easily put 5 – 6 bartenders behind that bar.
The talent? There was NONE!
They had the crappiest DJ ring in the New Year. He didn’t even play a meaningful song, the club was not ‘bumping’. When the clock struck 12:00, it almost seemed like the vibe died, no cool, hey we’re a club we’ll play some cool music, maybe we’ll have Heather from Rock of Love prepare us and get us hyped up to ring in the New Year, nope, nada. Heather came out only during the countdown, somewhat did a countdown and then left. She was the main attraction but hardly made an appearance, didn’t stay for more then 1 minute. I understand why, if I were her, I would want to get the heck out of an unhappening club filled with a whole bunch of ugly people with a crappy DJ. New Years for me was, «What a waste!»
