Looking to trip the light fantastic? You’ll find a crowd and camaraderie if you head to these local places. For an astonishing 13th year in a row, Scooter’s (411 Galloway St., Eau Claire) tops the heap. Here you’ll find DJs and customers that make your late nights feel like they should never end. She-Nannigans & Lucky’s (415 Water St., Eau Claire), where the drinks come fast and the night feels like a holiday, takes second. In third we have Happy Hollow Tavern (1628 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona): Their light show, sound system, and HD Music-Video Wall are almost as fun as the people you’ll meet. – Cullen Ryan
