With many clubs open only to patrons ages 21 and over, it can be hard for a teenager to find a venue to hear music or dance the night away. Atlanta is known for its music scene and is home to artists like The Black Crowes, TLC, Young Jeezy, Ludacris and T.I. A few clubs offer teen nights or cater exclusively to the under-21 set.
Sunday night is Family and Teen Night at Wild Bill's (as of May 2010), where all ages are admitted until closing at 11:30 p.m. A $10 cover charge gets you entrance into "America's largest dance club," where patrons can dance to Top 40 hits. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. and no alcohol is served. Wild Bill's has security on-hand to make sure everyone stays safe while having fun. A dress code is enforced.
