Nightclubs in Malmö

The best clubs in Malmö

Moriska Paviljongen

Party in the park

This enchanting pleasure palace in the middle of Folkets Park has three dancefloors on which to dance the night away. Enjoy a peaceful evening in the bistro, stay on until the small hours after post-work drinks on a Friday or go all-in and shake your funky thing on all the different dancefloors. Live music alternates with theme nights and DJ performances, so just check their website.

Plan B

Music mecca off the beaten track

Plan B plays host to Malmö's most packed line-up, drawing music fans out to Norra Grängebergsgatan - a way away from the city's busiest nightlife districts. A great atmopshere, decent prices in the bar and a large outdoor area also add to the attraction. DJs, producers, bands and artists of varying genres get the party started and it can often go on until late.

Etage

Something for everyone

Étage has been taking care of Malmö's various party demographics for years, with generous opening hours and varying minimum age requirements several days a week. At least four evenings a week the bass pumps out over Stortorget from the club's four dancefloors, with yet another evening reserved for private events. Especially popular in the early hours.

Grand Malmö

Lively bar and nightclub

Another favourite spot in Möllan, Grand is reached via a car park just a stone's throw from Folkets Park. Chilled lounge vibes and live music alternate with a lively bar scene and proper party atmosphere, depending on when you choose to drop by.

Babel

Möllan's temple to clubbing

Partying is sacred at this popular club housed in a former church. Babel books everything from artist performances to DJ sets for club nights on two dancefloors. Performers come from all over the country and beyond and from a wide range of genres.

Swing Inn

Minimum age 27

Swing Inn houses several different nightclub concepts under one roof, all with one thing in common: a minimum age of 27 years. A slightly older crowd can dance to the best hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, become the star of the evening in the karaoke bar, and sip cocktails on the Deck, a heated outdoor bar. The dress code is smart, so make sure you dress up nicely.

Inkonst

Club, concerts and performance art

Stand-up comedy and performance art alternates with club nights and concerts at Inkonst. The common denominator is slightly smaller events with an emphasis on high artistic quality and diverse creative expression. Count on interesting, eclectic DJs and artists.

Club Privé

Historic nightclub

In filmic surroundings that span multiple dance floors, club veteran Privé is still alive and kicking after forty years in the business. A variety of music styles are played over the different floors, from Eurovision hits to to poppy 80s hits. Club-goers can also try their luck at Blackjack, sing karaoke and have a drink at the bar.
