You probably wont have a problem but don't be surprised if they give you the run-around. Had that problem once when I lost my driver license. I told them, "I don't know who would make a fake expired ID, that would be idiotic." I got let in.

I don't know why you couldn't if it
is a photo ID and your looks haven't
changed to dramatically.
I think what I'd do is call the club
before you go and ask someone. Get
their name if they say it will work
in case someone hassles you about it
when you get there. :)

You need valid government issued photo ID to get into those clubs or especially a casino. If a bouncer or security guard stops you going in and you have an ID with a picture that is several years old or even a year old for that matter they won't let you in.
This is to protect their liquor license and or keep minors from gambling if a casino. Now, you said you don't have your new license that might not necessarily be a problem.
Do you have a military ID card, a current passport, state/federal issued photo ID? If so, flash it if they stop you at the door and give them your birth certificate.
Birth certificates I've been told by casino security people cannot be presented without a photo ID as they're so easily counterfeited these days and easily transfered from one body to another because they lack a photo. If you present both types of ID they can't refuse it.
You should phone the club you plan to attend and ask them what types of ID they will take that will let you inside. In some states and especially Canada the liquor control board or province/state issues an age of majority ID card that you can use to prove age. Have a look into what you can do.
But yes, an ID that is old even though it contains your image will not be accepted at clubs or casinos as it's no longer valid. If worse comes to worse you may have to sit out on clubbing for a few weeks for your license to be replaced.

I wouldn't recommend risking that.
Most club owners have became more strict with their ID checking.
You have to have a valid ID, no matter what.
Best suggestion, is to wait until you get your ID, because they wont take that kind of story (even though you're telling the complete truth, they've heard so many other stories similar to that) I'm a Club Promoter, so I should know.
But, its really up to you. Depending on where you'd go, maybe they'll let you in, if they are familiar with you.
Good Luck!
