How to Hit the Clubs in Your 40s

So you’re thinking about going clubbing again, but you’re no longer in your 20s? No worries! Here’s a light-hearted guide to navigating the nightlife scene when you’re over 40—because who says you can’t have fun?

Gather your friends over margaritas for a Girls Night Out and spend a good chunk of time figuring out a date that suits everyone’s schedule.
Spend the next couple of weeks texting back and forth about which trendy clubs to hit downtown, even if most of you haven’t stepped foot in that area for years.
Have a serious discussion about whether to splurge on a limo or a VIP table. I mean, if you’re going out after almost two decades, why not do it up right?
As the big night approaches, brace yourself for your friends to drop out one by one with “family obligations.” Classic.
Complain to the remaining crew about what could possibly be more important than a night of dancing.
In a last-minute scramble, come up with a plan to hit a club in the suburbs instead.
Debate the pros and cons of suburban clubbing. Is it a crime against nightlife? Or is it a practical choice?
Outfit time! Try on a flirty black mini dress and a snug tank top, but then switch to a cozy sweater dress with fleece-lined tights. Because you want to be ready for both clubbing and a PTA meeting—if you’ve ever gone to one, that is.
Roll up to the club with your pals at 10:15 p.m. thinking you’re fashionably late, only to find you’re among the first ones there. Guess everyone else is catching some Zs.
Be shocked at the $10 cover charge and ponder if you could have snagged a Groupon to make it cheaper.
While sipping drinks to beats that are too loud, contemplate a grocery run to Kroger next door while waiting for the place to fill up.
Let loose and dance like no one is watching on that empty dance floor—it’s good for the soul!
Wonder why the DJ feels the need to fill the air with smoke when there’s hardly anyone to appreciate it.
While lounging on a couch, get a friendly reminder from the bartender that you’re in the “VIP” section. Chuckle at the thought of a VIP area in your sleepy suburb.
Leave the club sweaty and satisfied from dancing, arriving home around 12:36 a.m., thankful for the chance to sneak in a few hours of sleep before the kids wake you up.
