I love a night out, especially in NYC. This is guide is my favorite night clubs I love to dance at or just grab some drinks with friends. This map has nightclubs mostly in Midtown & Chelsea, plus a couple of options in Greenwich Village, NoHo, & Harlem. I've included the classics, plus some hidden gems.
Nebula
Great ambiance & music!
123BSB
This spot is great if you're on a budget. They have $1 shots, $2 wine, & $3 burgers. It's a cool, cheap spot.
PHD Terrace at Dream Midtown
This spot has a great rooftop vibe that overlooks the city in Midtown.
LAVO Nightclub
This club is known for having some of the most popular DJ's in the world perform.
Harbor NYC Rooftop
This is one of my favorite nightclubs. You're almost guaranteed to see a celebrity appearance on the weekends.
Stage 48
Also known as HK Hall, this club has a bunch of levels so if you don't like the music on one level, you can go to the next one. It's also by Times Square, so it's pretty touristy.
Sapphire Times Square NYC Gentlemen's Club
This club has a bunch of different locations. It's one of the latest clubs that's open late into the night.
Moxy NYC Times Square
The rooftop on top of the Moxy Hotel is really nice for some drinks. It's really classy."
PHD Rooftop Lounge at Dream Downtown
This spot has a great rooftop vibe overlooking the city in Downtown.
Marquee New York
This is another one of my favorite clubs. It's always a good time and you'll often see celebrities here.
Somewhere Nowhere NYC - Lounge, Nightclub & Rooftop Pool
This club has a two level indoor lounge and open air rooftop pool. It's at the top of the Renaissance NY Chelsea Hotel.
Pergola
Pergola is a cute hookah lounge. It's one of my favorite places, I love it. You can often spot celebrities, they sometimes go after games at Madison Square Garden which is nearby.
This is my number one top pick when people ask me where they should go when they visit New York. They also have really good food.
The 40/40 Club
This club is owned by Jay-Z. It has a really cool ambiance. It's more upscale and classy. A lot of older people go here too, so it doesn't feel like it's just for young people.
1 OAK
1 OAK is a famous club and is pretty much known everywhere. They have one in Vegas, Tokyo, Dubai, and in some other places. Everyone goes here.
Dream Downtown
This is a good spot for a day party at the pool, but they also have nightlife on the rooftop in the evening.
Le Bain
You can eat here & stay late into the night. They have super nice sunset views overlooking the Hudson River as well, and a hot tub located inside.
Webster Hall
They hold a lot of events and concerts here. It's a fun spot.
Pianos
Pianos is really hip, a lot of young people like to go here. It's in the East Village and is a great spot to go if you're bar hopping. It's pretty affordable also.
Sound Of Brazil
This is a really cool place where they often have events and live music.
Avant Gardner
This Brooklyn spot is a vibe. They play mainly techno, house, EDM, & Hip hop music.
House of Yes
This club is super non-judgemental. Everyone is welcome with no fear of sexism, racism, or any other form of discrimination. And they make it known! It's always a super good vibe.
