Backstreet dance club is one of the only dance clubs in Arkansas that has an 18 and up admission, rather than 21 and up and as such is a popular night spot for younger crowds. Backstreet features a dance and club area, a night drag and dance show in the back and a porch area that is 21 and up and serves as a smoking lounge for the otherwise noisy club. Backstreet prides itself on promoting an open and accepting atmosphere.
