Paladium
5688 W. Sample Road, Margate, 954/977-0565, www.paladiumnightclub.com

This multigenerational and multicultural nightclub brings Latin nightlife -- nightlife, period -- to Margate. The massive location features a banquet hall and ballroom with ample seating for guests to fuel up on empanadas, fajitas and arepas before hitting the dance floor until 3 a.m. The club offers one of the few teen nights around, but all ages stop by for salsa and merengue dancing throughout the week. Although this is a serious place for dancers, don't let that scare you. If you can't fake it, the Paladium provides free hustle and salsa lessons Tuesdays and Wednesdays respectively.
