Your guide to the best nightclubs across Europe!

Newsroom December 30 11:23

DJs, label managers and promoters were asked by the Guardian to describe their favorite places to party in mainland Europe. They came up with a list of 25 top clubs of which one is located in Greece.

Here’s the list:

Greece’s ownn Casablanca Soul in Santorini – Casablanca soul has been pioneering underground music on the volcanic island since the early Eighties. It’s a musical landmark on the island and its response to party island Mykonos. The club is about the music, the people and vibe but only holds 120 patrons, meaning that its tight.

CASA

Fluxus Ministerija Lithuania – An old shoe factory that feels like a squat party for 10,000 people. Weird art installations and AV projections through various rooms, including a tower that is atop a massive stairway where strange goings on happen, such as poetry seances. CLICK HERE TO VISIT

LITHUANIA

Berghain Panorama Bar in Berlin – Dubbed Berlin’s temple of techno it is perhaps the foremost institution in electronic music in the world. No phones are allowed in the club and DJs need to commit their programs in advance to ensure that they deliver something special. CLICK HERE TO VISIT

BERGHAIN1

OHM in Berlin – The club, formerly known as Shift, is located in the battery room of a derelict power plant and is becoming one of Berlin’s off-grid spaces with minimum white-tiled decor and powerful sound system. An added bonus is that it is cheap! CLICK HERE TO VISIT

20/44 in Belgrade – The club is on a boat moored on the Sava river. Summer parties are held upstairs on the outside deck. The name of the club is based on Belgrade’s coo-ordinates. CLICK HERE TO VISIT

AMSTERDAM

The Villa in Oslo – The place to go for underground tech house and techno. The place is a “secret” from the outside with a mysterious side door and head down to the basement that stretches beneath a couple of buildings. The club holds 600 people. It has a low ceiling creating an intense atmosphere and pushing people close together so that sweat literally drips off the ceiling. CLICK HERE TO VISIT

VILLA

Kaffibarinn at Reykjavik – Warm and cosy during the week and crazy on weekends as people cram into a tiny space to dance the night away. Wednesday nights have cheap wine and free cheese. CLICK HERE TO VISIT

KAFFIBAR

Badaboum in Paris – the club was once La Scene Bastille, a concert hall. Each room has its own ambience with some areas providing a space for a conversation to give a break from the large music.

BADABOUM

Yoyo in Paris – Both concerts and DJ sets are played at this hall, under the Palais de Tokyo for contemporary art. Once a French movie theater, the large balcony overhead is reminiscent of the club’s former function. The club is decorated with urban decoration and graffiti that givesit an underground feeling. CLICK HERE TO VISIT

YOYO

Concrete in Paris – On the outside its a huge boat with a top terrace for chilling out, but inside its a techno-rave den. Initially an after-hours party running from Sunday to Monday, it became so popular that it took over entire weekends. The DJ booth is impressive, held in a square with a crowd all around. House rules include no photos, selfies or filming. Sunday mornings at this 24-hour party zone see zombies ending their rave-marathon but the club fills up again by 6 p.m. in the afternoon. CONCRETE

DC10

Elrow in Barcelona – The club is known for partying 24×7 and has a great community vibe. Think Cirque du Soleil, drag queens and confetti… and even if you hate it you’ll still enjoy the decadence of it all here as it is done so well.
