brilliant article. I want to make it my mission to see how many of these clubs I can hit this year!

Sorry, I really have to disagree with the Guvernment. Sure it has all the bells and whistles of a super-club, but lacks two basic fundamentals: Sound and a good vibe. Need to mention Canada? Try Stereo in Montreal.
ps. I live in Toronto and spend my weekends at Footwork

i’ve been to nearly half these clubs and agree they are amazing.but how can you list the best clubs in the world and not mention tresor in berlin???????

Warung is a great club, but there is another club, called Green Valley, a few kilometers from Warung that is even better.
Going to Warung? Then check Green Valley in the next night.

Out of these I have been to Amnesia, Space, Pacha, Guvernment, & Fabric. The U.S. has some nice looking clubs but majorly lacks good house music and a crowd that knows how to party without being typical roudy and annoying americans. Space & Fabric by far are number 1.
stevie on August 26th, 2008 at 2:17 am #
Have only attended fabric, but these will be something i want to attend !

Try Vancouver B.C. tons of great niteclubs there.
jf on October 7th, 2008 at 6:33 pm #
c_mac….
dont kid yourself…Vancouver has nothing. I live in Vancouver and if you liek top 40 its the place for you. But real house music and late nights are impossible in vancouver. Even in Canada, Vancouver is known to have a less than crazy nightlife. MTL, TO and Calgary are all better.

People its apparent you have never been to serbia, yes maybe they dont have one club that stands out but over there, well lets just say you gotta c it to believe it. (Im from canada)
michael goodwin on November 10th, 2008 at 5:55 am #
how can you forget about one of the clubs in amsterdam!!!
Niles on November 14th, 2008 at 4:27 pm #
What? Not even a single club from Vegas! I dont believe that…what about Tryst or Pure or Rain? New York is missing as well.
Some other great clubs I have been to:
- Lux (Lisbon, Portugal)
- Nikki Beach (Miami, Florida)
- Platinum (Warsaw, Poland)
- Enigma (Bombay, India)
- Nautilus (Riga, Latvia)
- Hollywood (Tallinn, Estonia)

Razzmatazz in barcelona is huge like pravlige in ibiza- defo rate it..

I’m in the US Navy and stationed in Japan. It’s hard for me to go two weeks without a trip up to Womb. One of the best things about it, which isn’t mentioned above, is how exclusive and hard to find it is. There are no lights or signs on the outside at all, just a big rollaway door that could easily be anything. It’s the kind of place that is impossible to find unless you already know where it is.
I’ll be in Singapore later this year too, so I’ll be sure to check out Zouk, Phuture, and Velvet Underground.
dtp on February 3rd, 2009 at 11:13 pm #
LOL vancouver? are you kidding me with that? vancouver has the worst night life and anyone whos anyone that can even call themself a true clubber would know that! ya they have raves but barely any big names play at your damn rip off raves. the raves in vancouver are over priced and a horrible representation of true partying. I must say i’m so proud guvernment is among the top clubs in the world. i must go to ibiza though. Montreal is amazing as well although ppl cannot dance there

dj mag is an english magazine so its completly biased towards british clubs.it consistently puts fabric in the top 3,fabric is a great fun,but top 3 in the world no way.its all opinion in the end but i think you need to spend a few weeks in berlin to experience the best clubbing in the world(although i’ve never been to south america)
hey Don’t Forget Space-Ibiza en your top ten 
it’s the best one in spain and it’s ranked the in the 7 place i the WORLD best CLUB
George Monch on March 1st, 2009 at 1:58 am #
Im from London and its a shame that the key and the end are now closed there brilliant Ive been vegas and to be fair they are amazing clubs but you gotta pay through your ass to get in!! Ibiza is fucking quality I go every year!! Next destination for me is The whole of U.S.A anyone got any clubs that are a must see??
FrankOoOo on March 4th, 2009 at 7:22 pm #
I have been to about 5 clubs on this list and ask, how is Palladium in Acapulco, Mexico not on here?? Dance with the Devil!!
Sam on March 7th, 2009 at 1:04 pm #
wow…i would like to visit Ibiza…It would be unfair not to mention TAU and PURE (Vegas) and Vanguard (LA) in the list above.
Oscar Baia on March 22nd, 2009 at 6:54 am #
In Portugal forget Lux, it’s a nice club but with cheesy music and crowd. True clubbers go to Kremlin. Superb funktion one and turbosound, sound systems. It as been in top Portuguese clubs for 20 years. I,m from Lisbon. Music is top notch.
GIAK DJ´S on April 18th, 2009 at 1:48 pm #
why you don´t visit Acapulco there are the best clubs in all the world, the rest are only greats storages
cris on April 18th, 2009 at 5:24 pm #
Hi everyone !
My favorite nightclub is in Christchurch,New Zealand , the people its so friendly and its classy and the djs rocks !! if you go 2 New Zealand you can’t miss this place
p.s. the chiks are sooo hot ! ;=)
G on April 23rd, 2009 at 2:46 pm #
Montreal is definately my favourite place to party!!! STEREO and CIRCUS, although at times I wish there was more women. Best music hands down which is y MTL is # 1 on my list!!!

Best Night Club in Cracow – Paradise Club
wait a second I’m sure these clubs are great but ther lack a one biggest. the city cancun mexico. this club is a bomb and the truth should be on this list if you really know about clubs.
check the page thecitycancun.com trust me you need to see this.
i been on ibiza space, amnesia and pacha realy its a good selection of clubs, but the city need too be on this page.
peace of heaven on May 22nd, 2009 at 2:24 pm #
With all my respect to pacha clubs and all the clubs in the UK..LEBANON will always be the capital of nightlife in the world..if u havn t been to SKYBAR then u haven t been to the best club on the planet!!!
friend. i been in Europe we are the best night clubs in the world but believe me you have no idea what is the city cancun. i now Europe its the best. but go to cancun mexico and you well see why im telling you about cancun trust me the city in america its realy biggest night club if you go, you gone have realy fun good dj´s trance music and great shows.
PW on May 25th, 2009 at 8:20 pm #
I’ve been all over the world, and the reason that you don’t see any NYC clubs on this list with the other great club cities of the world is because the top clubs in NYC cater to a more exclusive crowd, Quality over size. Higher end and smaller and more intimate. 1OAK, Pink Elephant, etc. The days of the NYC megaclubs are over. Trust me. It is better this way. NYC doesn’t want to be like Vegas or Ibiza. If you have ever been out to the Hamptons in the summer, you know what i’m talking about. Head to a club like Dune on a saturday night in the summer and you literally might be hanging next to Jay-Z, Paris Hilton or Leonardo Di Caprio. The reason that no one outside of those in the know in NYC have heard of these clubs is the exact reason why people like Jay Z like to hang out there.
kholio on June 13th, 2009 at 2:06 pm #
BO18 beirut, the best ever
rob on June 19th, 2009 at 12:19 pm #
beluga bar is the best night club in the world it is amazing
lajja on July 7th, 2009 at 8:58 pm #
Coco Bongo and The City in Cancun are definetely one the best clubs in the world
dj angel on July 8th, 2009 at 11:35 am #
Man your really know about clubs the city and coco bongo rules yehaaa dude. that are the bests night club’s. and by the way jay-z goes to the city to, and Madonna, 50 cent and Many greatest artists in the world. so the city its the best.
chad on July 8th, 2009 at 12:54 pm #
You forgot to include Stereo In Montreal. It has one of the best Sound systems in the world. Its amazing
loreeh on July 10th, 2009 at 3:47 pm #
hahaha you should know the best nightclubs are in Ibiza:)
come & visit them!
Bash on July 11th, 2009 at 2:06 pm #
Sky Bar Beirut is Number one world wide, google it, u tube it, it”s simply Z best.
jatin on July 29th, 2009 at 3:29 am #
i dont understand y ELEVATE (india, noida) is not present in the list…in my opinion it is the best disc of the world….
Tizzle on August 7th, 2009 at 4:57 pm #
whoever mentioned putting Vanguard in LA on the list is out of their mind
Pacha clubs are the best (with exclusion of NYC)
and Guvernment in Canada is hand down amazing
mitch on August 9th, 2009 at 11:56 pm #
try matter in greenwich, london, it has the best bass system in the world
sweeney on August 14th, 2009 at 7:13 am #
BCM in magaluf is quality, foam party there best night of my life!
elio on August 24th, 2009 at 9:45 am #
i’m portuguese and i recomend cocoon club in frankfurt, generaly i go there every weekends. kremlin it’s also very good (lisbon). those are my favorite clubs. but cocoon rocks!
El Rico on August 25th, 2009 at 6:04 am #
If you’re into pure hedonistic freedom, then the Stadium, Jakarta blows everything else away IMO. I dare anyone to set foot in there and then disagree.
Hoda on August 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pm #
One of the best night club in the world is Sky Bar Beirut – Lebanon … U have to go there to know what I’m talking about, the music is great but what really makes the difference is the PEOPLE…
yiannis on September 3rd, 2009 at 5:11 pm #
rescue greece zakynthos the most exciting club in greece….
Diane Wood on September 3rd, 2009 at 7:16 pm #
Coco Bongo is the club to go to. It is mind blowing and if you are visiting Cancun, Mexico must be done for a truly awesome mind blowing night!!
Tom on September 4th, 2009 at 6:44 am #
This shall be a ticklist for me over the next year. I have already been to one pretty much every weekend of my life. Fabric deserves to be in this list because the line up, atmosphere, staff, people and sound system make it a truly amazing night out everytime. I have never been to fabric and had a bad night, I don’t think it’s possible.
Arindam Ghosh on September 4th, 2009 at 7:37 pm #
@ Everyone …
Hi, What do you think can be the traits to the best Night Club? Any pointers … would really appreciate all your opinion ….

Where is Montreal????
Commmmeooonnnneeee people!!!:)
Fred on September 5th, 2009 at 4:41 pm #
Rescue in Laganas, Zante is very good. Although not a patch on Sankeys, Manchester. Brilliant music, great atmosphere, an excellent club. If you like house and electro its a definite must. Matter in London isn’t bad either. Went there to see high contrast last night and thought it was pretty good.
ctc on September 13th, 2009 at 7:02 am #
Buenos Aires (Pacha being one example) has great clubs. I notice Cancun did not get mentioned much either. As for Vancouver, I have lived around the world (including vancity for 4 years) and it may be one of the most beautiful cities but has horrible night life. It is brutal. But the girls are hot, so hey that really is what is most important. With that said, dont get married until you have been to Rio-
Brazil rocks.

It’s a shame Beirut’s Skybar is not in this article !!
I have travelled right around the world, visiting six of these clubs. If im honest, New Zealand boasts some of the most underated clubs in the world. most notably The Big Kumara in Wellington, or the Mad Cow in Christchurch. Margies in AUCKLAND is home to some of the most beautiful girls I have ever witnessed. Gardies in dunedin is also renowned for its fantastic music and outrageous woman. If your looking for a bit of spice and class, you cant go far wrong with Fringe Bar Wellington.
John on September 27th, 2009 at 1:14 am #
what do you think about BCM (Magaluf, Mallorca)??
vladimir on September 28th, 2009 at 8:01 pm #
i am canadian born as well and never visited serbia until 5 years ago under the guise of discovering my heritage.
i fully agree with damien.
Joe on October 1st, 2009 at 6:16 am #
Skybar is surely the best in the world…
Martin on October 1st, 2009 at 2:38 pm #
Folks, i’ve been to Fabric many many times, and it’s always awesome. I am from Glasgow, however, and The Arches is just as good. If you’re ever in town you have to go to Pressure or Death Disco at The Arches. Both are great nights in a great, great club. But no-one has even mentioned Glasgow’s Sub Club; the best small club on the planet. If you want to experience a truly awesomely fabulous night out, then get on down to Optimo every sunday @ Sub Club. There is not a better night out anywhere in London or Glasgow or anywhere else i’ve ever been clubbing for that matter (sadly that doesn’t include Ibiza).
Mizoss on October 9th, 2009 at 2:41 am #
i have been to London several times, only last November started to like my trip to london because of fabric, wish to have one in hurhgada fabric we r coming next month, yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nightlife is amazing all over europe. Music and people themselves are both extraordinary
carlie on October 19th, 2009 at 1:10 am #
ive been to all of these and the best is fabrics
JACK on December 7th, 2009 at 7:17 pm #
Fabric…Fabric…Fabric. No way is it only in the top three simply because mixmag is British. Its an amazing club with tons of character. Cocoon is also wicked though i saw vath their on his birthday. Im a DJ and trust me, fabric is definately the place to be
Nice post. 10 Best Nightspots around the world. Decided to include no more than one club from any major city, You can spend many sleepless nights. There are many night clubs such as La Boom, Cancun, Mexico, Groove Jet in Miami, Club BBoss in Hong Kong, Scorpions in Ios, Greece, C2K club in Las Vegas, Crobar in Chicago, Garden of Eden in Los Angeles, Privilege in Ibiza, Twilo club, Sheffield.

could you perhaps do a list of the top 10 essentials in a club. What makes a great club?
Tais Q on February 5th, 2010 at 6:05 am #
Complete nonsense list. Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar is by far the most original club of these days. The other names on this list are same old same old
