Cooler dance venue where lovers get together (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fan club

'where lovers get together' is the definition.
(people in a fan club love a particular thing)

'cooler dance venue' is the wordplay.
'cooler' becomes 'fan' (I've seen this before).
'dance venue' becomes 'club' (night club).
'fan'+'club'='FAN CLUB'

(Other definitions for fan club that I've seen before include "Association of ardent followers" , "for keen patrons" , "Keep place of entertainment cool" , "Organised supporters' group" , "Devoted followers collectively" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
