NIGHTLIFE

Club Crawler

The Lake Havasu club scene revolves around spring break. The clubs are usually closed except for big holidays and spring break, when thousands of sunburned kids pile onto the dance floor to sweat, dance, and eventually make out.

Students Speak Out On . . . NIGHTLIFE

"Make sure to stop by Kokomo. Everyone will find their spring break someone there."

"Red Room has some of the best drink specials. On Wednesdays, ladies drink half price and get in the giant red doors for free."

"The Desert Martini was one of my favorites---Frank Sinatra music, delicious dirty martinis, and cigar smoke."

"I don't think I have danced that hard or that much ever. We were still dancing as they were closing the bar because of how much fun we were having. Plus, the man of my dreams was there."

"I asked everyone we met what the plan was for the evening. This led us to a house party, followed by a houseboat party, followed by a bar party."

"To be 100 percent honest, I got sick of the bar scene fast."

The College Prowler Take On . . . NIGHTLIFE

A lot of the clubs in Lake Havasu are only open during spring break and on major holidays. Kokomo is best for cutting a rug, listening to Top 40 hits, and hooking up; FireHouse is the place to chill out and play pool, darts, or beer pong; and Desert Martini is perfect for a classy night filled with a dark, romantic setting and martinis to die for. Finding all the hidden gems in the city is something the locals pride themselves on, so definitely take their advice on where to go for the best drink specials because they are few and far between during spring break.

There are only a couple of main bars within walking distance that spring breakers can easily access, and going to those bars for four nights in a row gets a little boring. To prevent that from happening, make sure to check out all the little bars and lounges around to change up the pace of the evening. But be warned: the police officers here are sticklers for making sure people don't drink and drive, so make sure to get the number of a local taxi before heading out. Depending on if you are going to hook up or just relax, Lake Havasu City seems to embrace all bar types.
