With so many options to party in the U.S., which cities stand out as the best for an unforgettable night out?

Bonus Finder recently analyzed the population of the top U.S. party cities, ranking them according to several criteria to help you decide where to enjoy your next night on the town.

Most partygoers believe that major cities are where all the action is. The analysis of 101 U.S. locations across 11 metrics, including the availability of bars and casinos as well as the nightly cost of a hotel room, shows that this is not always the case.

Top party towns include several in Florida and a few in New Jersey, both of which are known for their lively nightlife.

Here are the top 5 party cities in the U.S. for a guaranteed great nightlife experience.

The entertainment of Miami Beach’s neon-lit Art Deco District and oceanfront clubs will have you partying well into the night.

Hoboken has the most bars, nightclubs, and late-night food for a city, given its modest population of 58,000. Hoboken is a short drive to New York City, but hotel and alcohol prices are lower than in New York and other parts of New Jersey.

Hoboken’s waterfront views of New York City are among the best being just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Give Hoboken a consideration when you want a more budget-friendly tri-state party experience.

Sarasota, Florida – Rated: 8.5/10
