Best nightclubs Lausanne

The Darling is a night pub that doubles as a club. Set in a prime location on the second floor of the Galerie Saint-François, the revamped interior still revolves around the central bar and its beer pumps. Regular customers won't be too disoriented: the screens are still there to follow the sports in the early evening, and the dance floor means that aperitifs can go on until the end of the night. The walls are decorated by different painters or by kisses in the entrance, roses here, graphic themes there..

Night owls, here you'll find a rich line-up of concerts hosted by trendy stars and famous DJs, right through to the end of the night! Bar Club ABC is part of the in D! Club. ABC specializes more in concerts and one-man comedy shows, and afterwork drinks for a younger clientele, while D! is more devoted to electro. If carousel planes try to fly from the ceiling and you're sunk in a red velvet armchair, you've come to the right place.

Located near the Bleu Lézard and the Buzz, the Jagger's is a discotheque bar very popular with rock fans. In fact, you will have guessed that its name is in honour of Mick, the famous singer of the Rolling Stones. Despite this reference from another time, Jagger's is well known for its relaxed, young and overheated atmosphere, especially at weekends. The dance floor is quite small, but you can dance around the bar and chat with the waiters who are not the last to party.

The XIII is a chance to let loose on the dancefloor to the sound of hits from the 1960s to the present day. Through the heavy, solid-wood door, you can stay in the Grand Bar, or take the stairs to La Cueva, a magnificent, dark, vaulted cellar decorated in medieval style. The atmosphere is welcoming, rather student-like, and the music resonates throughout the different rooms. Themed evenings are a real blast! In fine weather, the terrace offers a view of Lausanne Cathedral.
