Wild Country is a country line dancing bar in Collinsville, IL. While they do serve alcohol, underage drinking is strictly prohibited and it isn't uncommon for minors to be breathalyzed before entering.
The club is 18+, and college students (with a valid ID) get in free on Wednesday nights. While I have only been once, I can guarantee it is a great time. However, this bar needs your help!
There are rumors that it has been struggling, and while they may be unfounded, this establishment deserves your support. While you can spend your time learning new line dances from fellow college students, you can also use it as a casual hangout spot or only dance to the rave songs.
That's right, they don't play just country. The progression is usually three or four country songs, two fast songs, and a slow song. The slow songs and line dances are usually earlier in the night, and as it gets later they start playing more modern/fast music that falls under the pop and rap genres. So, if you're from Illinois/Missouri area, go out and have a great night at Wild Country!

That's right, a dress code. It's pretty extensive for a nightclub, which is both interesting and different. I won't give too much away because you'll have to see it for yourself, but...some footwear has to be removed before going through a metal detector, and your sweatpants can't be baggy! Weird, right? I mean, I guess that would make it hard to dance...
