Me and my friend (we're Americans) are planning to go Guadalajara for 5 days. We're young adult and mainly planning to go to lots of night clubs. Is it safe during night time? Is there something we should know about?

Just general big city rules - don´t get overly drunk, don´t leave drinks unattended. Do not take drugs or buy pot even, what is quasi-legal for residents/Mexicans is big potential trouble for you. Do you speak Spanish -- Uber v prevalent here but somebody on this forum had some problems recently, scan the forum.
I would stick to international/tourist/more upscale areas like Col Americana, Providencia more upscale, lotsa clubs in Zapopan, many music places along Vallarta around Chapultepec. I am not a club type except when dragged by my young colleagues but here are some lists:

Like Phoenix its a sprawling city but with much larger population than Phoenix - an est. 5 million as opposed to 1.5 million in Phoenix, and demographics skew much younger than AZ so you have tons of students, people your age, clubbers of all variety.
I suggest getting familiar w the geography first on google maps and then daytimes when you arrive, there is a good bikeshare program so you can scout around https://www.mibici.net/en/ talk to people your age range in cafés and see what they suggest.
