  I had low standards for Nightown.
  
  I've clubbed in NYC, LA, Vegas, Tokyo and London- been to the biggest clubs and parties and I was a big club rat. So coming to a small town, I expected very little. The outside of the club could get a facelift, and the 15$ for women 21+ and 20$ for locals made me hesitate even more (most good clubs have a 30$+ cover) and the first place you enter is weird. There's pool tables, video games, a bar and a constantly empty dance floor with a lonely DJ. I was worried it was going to be a bomb, until we went into the main dance floor.
  
  It looked like a standard good club. The set up, lights and everything looked really good.
  
  The good: Free drinks. I'm not kidding. Your pay to get in pays for your drinks. BUT they can only put an ounce in each drink. So you just need to drink 5 or 6 and you'll be blasted
  The DJs are good! Not the best I've seen, but they get the job done
  Did I mention free drinks?
  Smokers smoke in a different room (thank GOD)
  
  The bad:
  There's too many dudes. The dude to chick ratio is 4:1 and the guys try SO hard to get into the cluster of girls that are there, it's redic.
  God, this is going to make me sound so mean, but... they let anyone in. Anyone. Creepy guys, girls that are the size of small planets. I mean, I know it's the south, but you could at least keep undesirables out.
  Dance floor is too small :/
  The bouncers look like the staff at a theme park.
  There were cops chilling outside the club. Uh. Hey officers.
  It's a 18+ club, so there are kids running around. It's not that big of a deal, but sometimes it gets annoying.
  
  NO ONE can dance. I guess that's a good/bad, because if you can dance above average, you'll look like  a super star.
  
  I had a good time and I would recommend this place. Not if you're a dude or if you're looking for hot chicks though.
  
  NOTE: DON'T SHOW UP AT THIS PLACE BEFORE 12:30. They tote themselves as a late night club, and if you show up at 11:20, no one is there. But things hit their peak between 12:30 and 2 am

  It bugs the shit out of me that they spell the name of this place with one "T" especially since the sign over the door says "nt", implying that it's actually two words...nevermind.  On to the review!
  
  Fightown-er, Nightown is the prototypical Miami-esque nighclub here in Destin.  It's a little hard to find the firstime, but it's still close enough to the main highway not to be too far off the beaten path.
  
  I'm not a big fan of Nightown.  They have a habit of having you wait in line, and when you get inside it won't even be at half capacity.  Talk about creating a stir when no one can see.  They do a lot of different types of themed parties and concerts, and usually promote the "$20 all you can drink" deal, which for a bar or nighclub usually screams "Swirling the drain."  Perhaps it just isn't my scene, and that's not Nightown's fault, but I stopped coming here because of bad security and bad bar business.  Not too much has changed since then, as far as I can tell.

  It's like any other typical dance club... bars, dj and a dance floor. Nothing impressive, but not too bad either.

  Not sure if I should give 2 or 3 stars, probably deserves 2.5 stars to be honest.
  
  This place was douche heaven, all you can drink and all the stuck up girls you can fondle. I saw more Jersey Guido wannabes in here than I expected. There's a bar on one side and a "club" on the other, oh and it's 18 and up so all the kids come and hang around sipping gin and juice minus gin.
  
  PRO: all you can drink for 15 dollars.
  CON: all you can drink for 15 dollars.
  
  I left that place very drunk which was a good thing because there defiantly wasn't much going on inside to entertain me. On a side note, the bathroom attendant required a tip every time i went in to pee which was every 5 minutes, so at one point I started putting beer mats in the basket and he didn't say anything..

  This review is based on their New Years Eve performance.  The cover was $20 all you can drink.  There were only well drinks, other higher-end liqueurs were not available.  Just cheap shitty tasting drinks and shots.  There was a large bar upstairs that was clearly packed with people, but only two bartenders behind the bar.  They could have easily put 5-6 bartenders behind that bar.
  
  The talent?  There was NONE!
  
  They had the crappiest DJ ring in the New Year.  He didn't even play a  meaningful song, the club was not 'bumping'.  When the clock struck 12:00, it almost seemed like the vibe died, no cool, hey we're a club we'll play some cool music, maybe we'll have Heather from Rock of Love prepare us and get us hyped up to ring in the New Year, nope, nada.  Heather came out only during the countdown, somewhat did a countdown and then left.  She was the main attraction but hardly made an appearance, didn't stay for more then 1 minute.  I understand why, if I were her, I would want to get the heck out of an unhappening club filled with a whole bunch of ugly people with a crappy DJ.  New Years for me was, "What a waste!"
