Nightclubs in Granada City Centre: Every Venue You Can Walk To
· Updated:
Granada, Spain, keeps most of its nightclubs inside the old centre: Granada 10 on Calle Cárcel Baja by the Cathedral, Aliatar at Recogidas 2, Taböa on Plaza de Gracia, Vogues on Calle Duquesa, Backstage on Calle Moras and Colón Plaza on Plaza Isabel la Católica. You can walk between all of them. The big exception is Mae West, which sits out on Calle Arabial in the Neptuno area. Here's each venue with its street, the nights it opens and its closing time, as published by the venues in October 2026.

Why 07:00 and not later? Andalusia's Decree 155/2018 sets 06:00 as the latest closing time for clubs and adds one hour on Fridays, Saturdays and the night before a public holiday. That's why the weekend timetables all end at seven.
Cárcel Baja: Granada 10
Granada 10 is a club inside an old cinema next to the Cathedral, with a big stage, booths and an upper floor. It's the busiest student venue in the centre: Tuesday is the Erasmus night and Thursday the university night, and in late October 2026 it had something on every night from Tuesday to Sunday. Its event pages ask for a smart look on Fridays and student Thursdays and casual on Tuesdays, and every listing says 18+.


Recogidas and Puerta Real: Aliatar
Aliatar is another old cinema, more than 70 years old according to the venue, at the start of Calle Recogidas by the Alcázar Genil metro stop. It works as a club and as a gig venue: the late-October and November 2026 programme includes Patax, Melón Diesel, Temples and Los Rebeldes. Its website lists Tuesday to Thursday 23:00 to 06:00, Friday and Saturday until 07:00 and a Sunday session from late afternoon to midnight. It has ten booths and boxes for up to seven people each.
Plaza de Gracia: Taböa
Taböa is the reggaeton and urban option in the centre, with faculty parties on student nights. Its Instagram bio gives the hours as 'M, X, J 00–06H · V, S 00–07H' (Spanish day initials): Friday and Saturday until 07:00, the other nights it lists until 06:00. The door rules on its website are clear: 18+ and no sportswear, flip-flops or trainers.
Calle Duquesa: Vogues
Vogues (many people still call it Sala Vogue) has two rooms at Duquesa 37: indie and commercial in room 1 and techno in room 2, which opened on 19 September 2026. It opens Thursday, Friday, Saturday and the night before holidays from midnight, and it's free before 3:00. Some Saturdays it also runs an indie tardeo from 17:30 to 23:00.


Fuente de las Batallas and Isabel la Católica: Backstage and Colón Plaza
Backstage, on Calle Moras, is a two-floor club and gig room. Its bio says it opens every night, with live music on Fridays and a Friday tardeo with a band from 16:30. A few streets away, Colón Plaza on Plaza Isabel la Católica has a karaoke room, an electronic room called Noise Club and an outdoor terrace, and says it's open 365 days a year.
Gig venues that turn into clubs
Planta Baja on Calle Horno de Abad has been a gig venue and club since 1989: after the concerts there are DJ sessions, and on Saturdays a free tardeo at 16:30. Sala Víbora, on Calle Santa Bárbara near the Triunfo gardens, is the venue that used to be Boogaclub and now books gigs and club nights. RocknRolla, on Calle Gran Capitán, is more of a rock bar with free gigs than a club. For the full picture, see our guide to indie, rock and live music in Granada.
Indie, rock and live music in GranadaDisco-pubs: Ganivet and La Moderna
If you want to dance without the full club, Ganivet (Calle Ángel Ganivet 13) runs indie nights and opens from the afternoon, and La Moderna, on Plaza Poeta Luis Rosales near Isabel la Católica, plays 80s and 90s dance music. They're good first stops before a club, or the whole night if you prefer something smaller.
And Mae West? The Neptuno side
Mae West, the biggest club in Granada (over 2,000 people according to VIPLIST), is not in the centre: it's in the Neptuno shopping centre on Calle Arabial. 365 Music Club (Calle Neptuno 10) and UNY Club (Arabial 62) are in the same area. If your night starts with tapas in the centre and ends there, you'll most likely want a taxi.


A walking night in the centre
- From 20:00: free tapas around Calle Navas or Plaza Nueva (see our free tapas guide).
- Midnight to 1:30: a disco-pub such as La Moderna or Ganivet, or straight to Granada 10 if you're on its free list (until 1:30 on Fridays).
- Before 3:00: Vogues is free until then.
- Late: Aliatar, Taböa and Granada 10 run until 07:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
