The best clubs in Granada, Spain, in 2026 are Mae West, the biggest, in the Neptuno area; Granada 10, the old cinema next to the cathedral where students and Erasmus go; Aliatar, also a former cinema, on Calle Recogidas; and Industrial Copera in La Zubia for techno and big gigs. Around them sit a dozen more rooms, from reggaeton in Neptuno to indie and techno on Calle Duquesa. This guide covers all 17 we found open as of October 2026.
Every fact comes from the venue's website, Instagram or ticket page, checked on 20 October 2026; where there's no reliable source, we say so. Each venue links to its page on this site.

The big three: Mae West, Granada 10 and Aliatar
Mae West is the size reference in Granada: a multi-room club in the Neptuno shopping centre on Calle Arabial, with Sala Mae West, El Bribón, Molly and La Terraza de Granada under one roof, and over 2,000 people according to VIPLIST. Its weekly listing runs from Monday to Sunday (Pretty Monday, Maertes, Ladies Night on Wednesdays, Contoneo on Thursdays), and since October it also opens on Saturday afternoons from 16:00 with Sentido Tarde. Tickets have started from €9 and it sells through Entradasmaster, not FourVenues.
Granada 10 is the club in one of the city's best-known old cinemas, on Calle Cárcel Baja right by the cathedral, with a big stage, booths, stalls and an upper room. It's run by Grupo Zeppelin and opens from Tuesday: Tuesday is the Erasmus night, Thursday the Universitario one. On a Friday in October 2026 an advance ticket with a drink cost €10, the guest list was free until 1:30 and tables started at €120.
Aliatar, on Calle Recogidas 2, near the Alcázar Genil metro stop, is another converted cinema with more than 70 years behind it. It mixes club nights (Tuesday to Thursday 23:00–06:00, Friday and Saturday until 07:00, Sunday afternoons) with a serious gig programme; in the autumn of 2026 that means Patax, Melón Diesel and Temples. It has ten booths for up to seven people with a bottle, and salir.com puts its average crowd at around 30.
Reggaeton and student nights: Neptuno and Plaza de Gracia
Next to Mae West, Calle Neptuno and Calle Arabial have two more clubs. 365 Music Club (also branded Dsoko) is reggaeton and urban with booths, opens Thursday to Sunday and leans hard on student nights; an advance ticket with a drink was €8 in October 2026. UNY Club, at Arabial 62, has a central floor with high tables and VIP booths and opens Thursdays and Fridays from 23:45, with tickets from €10 with a drink. In the centre, Taböa in Plaza de Gracia opens Wednesday to Saturday and is the faculty party club: barrel nights for science and musicology students, reggaeton and some 2000s house sessions. Its door bans sportswear, flip-flops and trainers.
Indie, live music and something different in the centre
Vogues, on Calle Duquesa 37, is the one to know if reggaeton isn't your thing: room 1 plays indie and commercial, and room 2, opened on 19 September 2026, is pure techno. It opens Thursday to Saturday and on the eve of holidays, and in October 2026 entry was free before 3:00. Backstage, on Calle Moras by Fuente de las Batallas, has two floors, says it opens every night and does live music on Friday afternoons. Colón Plaza, in Plaza Isabel la Católica, combines a karaoke room, an electronic room called Noise Club and an outdoor terrace. Ganivet, on Calle Ángel Ganivet 13, is more disco-pub than club, with indie nights and a monthly Sunday party called Clímax.
Three more rooms are for people who go out for the music. Planta Baja, on Calle Horno de Abad 11 and running since 1989, is a gig venue that turns into a club after the concerts and holds a free Saturday afternoon session, Plantarde, from 16:30. Sala Víbora, on Calle Santa Bárbara near Triunfo, is the old Boogaclub building reopened as a gig and music club. And RocknRolla, on Gran Capitán, is a small underground rock bar with free gigs. Up in the Albaicín, on Cuesta de Santa Inés, Efecto Club is Granada's intimate house and techno room, open Friday and Saturday from 22:30 to 04:00 with a €9 minimum drink.
Techno and big events outside the centre
Industrial Copera has been working in Granada since 1992 and is the city's heavyweight for electronic music and big gigs: 1,000 capacity, an outdoor garden and a polygon location in La Zubia, next to the Alshur shopping centre. This autumn it has Ben Sims and DVS1 (7 November), Héctor Oaks all night long (13 November) and Ben Klock (11 December). Club sessions are 18+ with named tickets and ID. Sala El Tren, on the Málaga road in La Chana, has mixed gigs and underground techno since 2002. And Complejo Embrujo in Las Gabias is an events site rather than a weekly club: it hosts DOMO's techno nights, the Babilonia summer parties and the biggest university parties, like Medicine's San Lucas.
In ski season: the Sierra Nevada clubs
From December the party also goes up the mountain. In Pradollano, the Sierra Nevada ski village in Monachil, Sohmo, Mango, La Chimenea, Edelweiss and Après Ski Monachil only open in ski season, and the 2026-27 season is scheduled to start on 6 December 2026, according to ABC. We cover them in our après-ski guide.
Closed clubs that still show up on Google
Many guides still recommend places that no longer work as clubs. El Camborio, the cave club in Sacromonte with Alhambra views, now only does weddings and events; its club account went quiet in March 2020. MoonBack, the techno club on Calle Arabial, announced its closure after its last party on 22 May 2026. Boogaclub said goodbye in July 2023 and its building is now Sala Víbora.
