Southside on Montford Drive is, hands-down, our favorite place in Charlotte to get sweaty. For starters, the music is consistently good for dancing, with both Top 40 and throw-back favorites. Additionally, they allow you to dance on the booths and even provide dedicated raised platforms for putting your sexy moves on display. The icing on the cake is that patrons are primarily 20-something white folks, so if you have any rhythm at all, you will be in the top 1 percent of dancers present.
