A couple of additional thoughts: “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. (1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV) of what benefit is nightclubbing?
Also we should not give the appearance of sin and are exhorted to flee temptation not court it. Also: For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? (II Corinthians 6:14 NKJV)

There is a lot of so called christen and I say so called, because there no change in them. I can only speak from what happen in my life.
I went through a time in my life that I got so bad that I knew that something had to change. I lost all my friends so I went to church and became a so called 'Christian', but there was no real change, I still wanted to do all those things that I had been doing. I became worse than before.
After a few years in what looked like I had turn my back on God, God spoke to my heart and I was saved. He changed me I didn't want to do those things any more this is true salvation he changes us and we don't change our self, this is an act of God. The Father has to draw us to Jesus, then we are changed, this is what God done in my life. We are all different, but if God truly save a person there will be a change in the way they live. You will know them by their fruits.

Before I became a Christian, clubs and bars were my life. After I was converted, about a year later I went to a club, and it was not the same. In less than an hour I could not get out of there fast enough. God had changed me; the things in that place vexedmy spirit. My old self had died and I was different. What I am trying to say is if a person still enjoys the same things in the world as they did before they were saved, then maybe they need to check themself, because God changes us when we're saved. We become a new person. If there hasn't been this change, maybe they're not saved.

I remember a similar question quite a long time ago. In my opinion, nightclubs are called nightclubs because no good things happen at night.
John 3:20 “everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.”
Obviously our Lord Jesus knows what you do whether in darkness or light, but nightclubs are a wonderful addition (sarcasm) to Satan’s tricks and lies. You go to the club, it’s dark, alcohol is served and people’s inhibitions go away and you let your guard down.
Remember Mark, 13:33: “Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.” He emphasizes this for a reason.
So, quick answer for nightclubs: stay away. They, as others have eloquently answered, are a product of Satan.
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
If you still have questions, pray about it. He will never leave you and He will, I believe, answer your question in prayer. When you are not at peace with a decision, that is God telling you it’s not the choice He wants.
