Where's the Party?

Davaoenos love to party every now and then and they can do just that practically every week, if they want to. With new disco clubs in place around the city, there's always a great spot to enjoy the night whether you want to dance, have fun conversations or simply listen to heart-thumping dance tunes. The city also boasts of talented disc jockeys (the young ones and the veterans) who are eager to play all types of dance music from house, trance and techno to name just a few.

So where's the party in Davao? Take your pick.

Acropolis Superclub - This is one of Davao's pioneering disco clubs (with a mezzanine) located along Ponciano Street just across the PLDT/Smart Office. It was revived in May 2014 and since then, has attracted party folks in the city both young and the young at heart.

I was able to attend the launching then which made me relive my younger days when my friends and I would go to disco clubs in my hometown and dance the night away. It felt good to be in a place jampacked with people having fun dancing, listening and singing along to the classic dance music of the 80's and 90's being played by the DJs.

Starr - This club (with a mezzanine) is located in Obrero just a few meters from the corner of J.P. Laurel Ave. and Palma Gil St. in the Wheels and More Drive complex. This disco spot attracts the younger folks of Davao City.

Club Velvet - This one is situated in the Oroderm City Mall along C.M. Recto St. in the downtown vet area. It is a one-level party place that also hosts functions including birthdays and company events among others.

Club Echelon - Located on the 6th level of Gaisano Mall's The Peak, this is the newest disco club to open in the city.

Wednesdays are usually free for the ladies at these night spots. Weekends are reserved for special themes. Guest DJs from Manila and abroad are also invited during special occasions at these clubs. You can check out their respective Facebook pages to get updates.
