The best clubs Tirana

This establishment launched the restaurant-nightclub concept in Tirana in 2019. You can eat international dishes (bao buns, salads, burgers...) in a very pleasant green setting: the decor and name are inspired by the American TV series Lost (2004-2010). You can dance to soft music in the company of forty-somethings. Good cocktails, but on the whole rather expensive. On the same street, you'll find the imposing Iranian embassy and a host of chic restaurants and bars. An ideal place to spend the evening with friends.

This big nightclub is located near the Ministry of Culture and the Akademia Marubi, in the Kinostudio district of the former Communist film studios. A few good DJs sometimes perform here. But it's generally crowded and smoky. What's more, drinks are expensive and foreign customers are often refused entry. If you really want to go, it's best to book by phone: +355 69 35 85 997 or +355 69 992 95 85 for the VIP area. Bus: line no. 15a and get off at the Kinostudio stop.

This nightclub is located on the southern ring road, between the Grand Parc and the Elbasan freeway. It's frankly not very good: smoky atmosphere, foreign customers refused and exorbitantly priced drinks. But it's only by buying a very expensive bottle that you can access the VIP area, which is a little quieter. If you really want to go, it's best to book by phone: +355 68 555 08 61 or +355 69 378 43 12 for the VIP area.

Bar by day and club by night. In fact, it's one of the few places in central Tirana where you can dance until very late. Because of the rise in rents caused by the construction of the "mafia towers", the locals now prefer to party in the lounge bars in their neighborhoods, far from the city center. Here, it's very small and quickly crowded in the evening. And as the bouncers don't easily let in unaccompanied foreign male customers, it's best to book on Instagram (thecodetirana).
