The Brief and Only Clubbing Essentials Checklist You’ll Ever Need

Did you know that about 19 percent of Americans enjoy going to nightclubs or bars? Not surprisingly, clubbing is one of the most popular activities in the entertainment industry, especially in large cities. Yet, even though clubs are popular venues, not everyone has experience with the nightlife scene.

Are you going clubbing for the first time? If so, you likely have many questions about what you should bring along, the dress code, and how to stay safe while having a good time. 

We'll cover all of the clubbing essentials in this post, so keep reading to get the answers you're searching for! 

Bring at Least One Trusted Friend 

The buddy system isn't just for kids! Bringing a trusted friend with you is essential when clubbing. You can watch out for each other and ensure you both stay safe. 

However, it would be best to let someone else who isn't going with you, such as a family member or friend, know where you will be and what time you'll return.

Dress Smart and Comfortably

Basic clubbing etiquette is to dress smart and avoid casual clothes such as jeans and sneakers. But, the rules vary from club to club, so be sure to check the guidelines for the venue you'll attend. For example, some upscale clubs like 7eight7.com have a casual dress code. 

No matter the club's rules, wearing a dress with low heels or wedges is always a good choice if you want to look your best and make it through the night without sore feet.

Phone

This is a no-brainer since most of us won't go anywhere without our phones in hand. Yet, having your phone is crucial in case of an emergency. So don't leave it at home for fear you'll lose it unless you have a smartwatch that you can use to make phone calls or text. 

ID

Your ID is one of the most important items to bring. Without it, you likely won't be able to get inside without making a scene. So double-check that you have it before leaving the house and keep it safe throughout the night.

Cash

It's always a good idea to have a little cash on hand, just in case. However, it's best to rely on credit or debit cards for your expenses. You don't want to fumble with bills or coins in the dark! 

Beauty Essentials

Don't bring your whole makeup bag to the club or expensive products. Instead, put only the essentials, such as: 

• Small mirror
• Travel-size deodorant
• Hair tie
• Blotting paper
• Lipstick
• Gum/mints
• Hand sanitizer

Of course, you shouldn't take more than what you can fit in a small cross-body purse.
