Best nightclubs Sweden

When summer comes, the underground club Under Bron moves outdoors and keeps the party going. At the foot of the huge concrete pillars, just under Johanneshovsbron, Trädgården installed in 2008 its amazing universe: a stage, small bleachers, sofas mounted on wheels arranged around low tables, a long bar that borders a house lost in this hostile world, a cocktail bar, tables shaded by umbrellas ... A place apart, which closes late on weekends in a warm atmosphere of outdoor club.

On the border of the bohemian district of Haga and the old centre, the Nefertiti jazz club welcomes all jazz fans of the city. Numerous concerts by more or less well-known artists, some of whom are real international names, take place throughout the year on Friday and Saturday evenings. The price of admission to the concert depends on the fame of the artist on stage. These concerts, always of high quality, sometimes even attract celebrities passing through town... This was the case of Bono who came to the Nefertiti in 2010!

Along Monbijou Street (that's already a poem!), in the old knitting factory of Malmö, here is a surprising hybrid place. As you climb the iron steps of this imposing brick building, you feel like you've been teleported to Brooklyn, so you push the door open and discover a sublime setting, somewhere between a 1950s diner and an old jazz club. The Asian-inspired cuisine is as refined as the cocktails. On weekends, musicians and DJs come to electrify the adjoining concert hall. Exotic!

This bar-restaurant turns into a nightclub from midnight. The atmosphere is always festive at weekends. The audience is mixed enough, which is rare in Östermalm, and eager to have fun.

This club is one of Avenyn's trendy nightclubs. It has an electro program with good DJ's from the Swedish scene who perform here regularly, like the famous and iconoclastic DJ Peter Siepen. The club's owner claims that "everyone has been here", from the King of Sweden to Bill Gates to the king of disco, Prince himself! However, the legend has yet to be proven... Having said that, it's true that the place is popular and that one generally spends a good evening there. On the other hand, the clientele is rather young.

Gothenburg's biggest club with its huge dance floor, terrace and lasers, attracts a huge crowd every weekend. DJs from all over the world come to play in this club to make the youth of Gothenburg dance, and they always rise to the occasion! It's best to come early to avoid the queue, or be prepared for a long wait to get to the dance floor: but it's worth it either way! Special parties are organized from time to time, check their website to see!

If you ask the inhabitants of Gothenburg a good club to go dancing in, they will answer without hesitation: Excet! With four rooms and as many different atmospheres, it has become one of the most popular clubs in the city, no doubt thanks to its programming, its atmosphere and the quality of the artists who perform there. Whether you're into house, urban music, techno or mainstream hits, you're sure to find something to get your groove on! It's up to you to choose, or to navigate from one room to another throughout the night.

A nightclub that offers a wide range of rock music from the Pixies onwards. On Thursdays, a stereo club night that allows young local artists to be discovered by the Gothenburg rock audience. Sticky Fingers focuses on quality concerts and live performances, and you can hear hard rock, pop, indie music, funk and soul! So there's something for everyone and it's a good opportunity to discover new, sometimes famous bands and to let loose on the dance floor!

This former theatre is now a nightclub where rock music is the star. What was once a cinema is now a music scene with two bars and a balcony, and a capacity of 900 people! Many concerts are organized with sometimes a hip-hop or indie pop program. This club has a very special charm, both rustic and typical, which gives the place the cachet of the rock clubs of the past. You can also eat in the "dining room", a large room that can accommodate up to 200 people.

Debaser is one of the clubs where the atmosphere is always there. With a varied program of concerts and DJs, Debaser is a good place to spend an evening dancing, meeting people and eventually watching the sun rise in Tanto Park when the evening ends! Emblematic place, HQ of the young generation. Here, it's two rooms, two atmospheres, so if the loud decibels are not for you, go to the next room to enjoy the bar and a corner table to chat, more quietly.

On board the Patricia, you can relax on deck with a drink at the bar and enjoy the clear Stockholm nights, then go down to the back of the ship to dance on one of the dance floors. If the place is not known as "classy" (it is clearly a change from Stureplan and its chic clubs), it has the charm to gather all the night owls who want to continue the party until the end of the night, because it is one of the only addresses that stay open so late. Varied music that keeps the crowd going, the DJ doesn't count his hours!

Babel is the temple of the party people. Housed in a former church, this club attracts faithful night owls with a large neon cross. The evenings are eclectic, the atmosphere varies between soul, techno, pop, jazz, electro, as well as live concerts. The clientele is just as varied and depending on the night, we meet a completely different public. One goes there with an open mind and ready to be surprised, and generally one does not leave disappointed. Recently, the whole sound system has been redone, so let yourself be impressed by the sound!

If you want to go out during the week and are looking for some atmosphere, come to Yaki-Da. Housed in a beautiful 18th century house with four floors, this bar-club has a different music programme on each level. Upstairs, there is a piano bar for those who just want to chat, but downstairs, DJs and live bands (depending on the night) set the scene. The kitchen stays open until late, so you can eat good food. As far as the clientele is concerned, Yaki-da is the place to be for trendy clubbers and even Kanye West has been there!

Avenyn's chic club, quite posh and blinged out. You'd better dress up to go out if you don't want to be refused entry by the ruthless face booker. Lounge(s) is one of the most established nightclubs along the main Avenyn boulevard. Inside, a beautiful multi-storey house awaits you, with dance floors and well-stocked bars. The decor is cosy and the DJ plays upbeat commercial hits. A special bonus is the beautiful terrace with a view of Gothenburg's rooftops by night!

This club now housed in the same building as its big brother Trädgår'n is the meeting place for the cream of Gothenburg's party people and Beautiful People, as soon as the weather is fine. With its large terrace and its outside bar, one would think in a trendy club of Cannes or Saint-Trop', from where the name of the club. Inside, two large bars and a very large dance floor where the DJ (always excellent) is enthroned, await you. The decoration is directly inspired by the best dancefloors of Miami and Ibiza! But what a success! We loved it!

A monument to Stockholm's nightlife! Atmosphere at the rendezvous, and a direct reflection of the mentality of the city. Four rooms on two floors, with alcoves and plants that climb along the walls... but you have to be patient because the queue can spread out on the pavement in an impressive way. Here, the clientele is rather young and the drinks rather expensive... Sturecompagniet remains an essential place of the capital: attention, evening dress is not required, but recommended to have all its chances to return.

The Royal isn't just a nightclub. That's where it all happens! It's both the best and the worst, since it's actually the only one around. All the more reason to go there! On Fridays, the track is almost deserted and the most famous international hits are played. On Saturdays, the average age is much lower and the electro hits and remixes follow one another. Don't forget to take a small souvenir photo at the photo booth. In short, a must for those who want to get an idea of the nightlife in Swedish Lapland!
