Ljubljana · Nightlife

The heart of it: Gala Hala for gigs, Klub Gromka for punk and film, Tiffany and Monokel for the LGBTQ+ crowd. Beer around €3.

Underground techno and house in a basement on Kersnikova since 1989. Seasonal: it shuts for summer and reopens each September.

The mainstream counterweight to Metelkova: big-room house and pop near Tabor, busiest Friday and Saturday from midnight.

Cocktails on the open-air terrace atop the 1930s Skyscraper, nine floors up with a full circle of city and mountains.

Comic shop, cafe and bar on Mestni trg, reliably queer-friendly, with DJ sets and events running late into the weekend.
