Night clubs in television are always much cooler, bigger, and cleaner than the ones you find in the downtown of your town (unless your town happens to be New York City, Tokyo, Ibiza or London). Expect to see a line around the block to get in whether the club is full or not, though some people need only wink at the Bouncer or have a spot on the guest list and in they go (this seldom includes the main protagonist unless they're a sexy female). Often a Bad Guy Bar and rarely a Good Guy Bar (because Evil Is Cool and Good Is Boring). See also Where Everybody Knows Your Flame, for the gay version.
