Nightlife has been a vibrant area of research for [[sociologist]]s. Nightlife establishments including pubs, bars, and nightclubs function as [[third place]]s, according to [[Ray Oldenburg]] in ''[[The Great Good Place (book)|The Great Good Place]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pps.org/reference/roldenburg|title=Ray Oldenburg|work=Project for Public Spaces|access-date=June 18, 2015|archive-date=July 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702120804/http://www.pps.org/reference/roldenburg/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Some sociologists have argued that vibrant city nightlife scenes contribute to the development of culture as well as political movements. David Grazian cites as examples the development of [[beat poetry]], musical styles including [[bebop]], [[Blues#Urban blues|urban blues]] and early rock, and the importance of nightlife for the development of the [[gay rights movement]] in the United States kicked off by the [[Stonewall riots|riots at the Stonewall Inn nightclub]] in [[Greenwich Village]], [[Lower Manhattan]], [[New York City]].<ref name="Grazian">{{cite journal|jstor=40542603|title=Urban Nightlife, Social Capital, and the Public Life of Cities|first=David|last=Grazian|journal=Sociological Forum|volume=24|number=4|year=2009|pages=908–917|doi=10.1111/j.1573-7861.2009.01143.x }}</ref>
 
There is debate about the degree to which nightlife contributes positively to [[social capital]] and the public goods of society. David Grazian points out that nightlife can "replicate the same structures of race, ethnic, and class inequality and exclusion found in the larger society."<ref name="Grazian" />
 
Grazian cites the use of dress codes by some nightlife establishments in the United States—mostly nightclubs—that specifically targets clothing popularisedpopularized by hip hop culture represents a form of informal discrimination and segregation on racial grounds.<ref name="Grazian" /> He also noted that nightclubs and club culture can create an environment that encourage or tolerate the "harassment and degradation of women," citing the expectation that both female workers and patrons of bars and nightclubs engage in highly sexualized performances of femininity including dressing in a particularly sexual manner in order to gain entrance to clubs.<ref name="Grazian" />
