For some, nothing can replace a good rave or a deep house party that lasts until the morning - and while we agree, we must add that it has to be at the right place. Luckily, Budapest is pretty much Berlin when it comes to nightlife, so here we collect the best places to go if you are wearing your dancing shoes or if you are longing for some gut-shaking bass.

1/9

Lärm

Imagine the blackest club in Budapest, where a no-decibel-cap is paired with Martin audio equipment. That's Lärm. The place that isn't about trendy interior design, colourful cocktails or music for the masses, but about the most talented DJs and underground electronic music whether it's labelled techno, house, disco or footwork. Clearly this place is not for everyone (and that's not a bad thing - it has a max capacity of 250), but if you are looking for a truly underground underground venue in the heart of Budapest, this is it.

Upcoming events:
January 24 Petter B
February 14 Marquis Hawkes
February 21 Kamran Sadeghi, Coldfish

2/9

Corvintető

Corvinető is located on the top floor of a battered department store, so their slogan is more than fitting: underground above the city! The club is one of the most popular meeting places for the local youth - as well as tourists looking for a big night out. It's just a 2 minute walk from the easily accessible Blaha Lujza Square and it hosts one of the longest running party series in Budapest: Rewind. Corvintető (and Rewind) isn't bound by genres, the DJs here spin everything from deep house to drum 'n' bass and hardcore. And let's not forget that you can usually rely on this place to remain open until dawn. Electronic music fans are likely to become regulars here.

Upcoming events:
January 23 Rewind Special
January 30 7 Years Of LavaLava 
February 14 8 Years Of Ninjabreakz
February 20 Rob Hes
February 27 Delano Smith

3/9

Tesla Budapest (Closed)

A building behind the Museum of Electrical Engineering has turned into a real party palace called Tesla. It's the most outstanding club in Budapest's party quarter with its premium quality Void sound system, tasty cocktails, heated smoking area and eyecandy interior design. Unlike most of the places in the party quarter, the club covers a wide variety of genres night by night: pulsing deep house, gut-rippingly brutal techno, drum 'n' bass and a lot more. If you want to party like a sir/lady, this is your place!

Upcoming events:
February 7 Marcus Intalex & MC DRS
February 21 Adriatique & Lehar

4/9

kolor

Now let's get more easy-going and start that damn hustlin! If you agree then kolor is your place. Here the DJs cook a healthy portion of hip-hop, trap, juke and other genres to keep you on the dancefloor. Shake, shake, shake - that's our advice. If you get tired, grab a cocktail or try one of their snacks, both of them are great cures for nearly any kind of night you're having. As far as ongoing party series are concerned, the weekly Monday Sessions and monthly Onehundred are both a must for hip-hop heads.

Upcoming events:
January 23 Onehundred #3
January 24 Easy Lovin'

5/9

PRLMNT

PRLMNT (pronounced Parliament) is in the heart of Budapest near Nyugati Railway Station. In addition to the auditorium (with gallery), it also has a charming terrace onto the Grand Boulevard, a bistro, exclusive VIP areas and private rooms. Like Tesla they have a Void sound system guaranteeing the ultimate clubbing experience as far as music is concerned. A night spent at PRLMNT is a night you won't forget.

Upcoming events:
January 23 Butch & Adam Port
February 13 Aly & Fila
February 27 Monika Kruse & Karotte

6/9

NOMURI

One of the best things about Nomuri is that it hosts one of the city's hottest ongoing party series: Snapback - a very cool hip-hop party. It also hosts Standard Disco - the name says it all really, and Sex&Schluss - the sexiest deep house party in Budapest. Another reason to go to Nomuri is the welcoming atmosphere, the charming interior design and the good vibrations that keeps you here until the moon becomes the sun.

Upcoming events:
January 23 Deep Cafe Season Opening Party
January 24 Snapback Volume 6

7/9

Room 8

The best kind of parties are house parties: your friends, your favourite DJs and your favourite drink. And that's what is good about Room 8, it brings a house party-vibe to Budapest's nightlife. It is refreshing to have a place which isn't about slavishly following current trends but about good music and quality entertainment. As the founders said: 'we wanted to create a real hangout, which could become the long-term answer to the question: ‘where should we go clubbing?’ ” We can't really add anything - only that Room8 has succeeded in becoming the answer.

8/9

trafiq

With an elegant and timeless interior, quality sound system and unique events trafiq reflects the sophisticated air of nightclubs of the 1930s. At this bar and club, every detail invites you to drop in and return. If you're at trafiq do not give a thought to tomorrow - anything can happen, right here, right now. During the Set&Live nights the DJ is joined by the most talented musicians, at other times the most famous deep house DJs pop up behind the decks. Enter the wonderland!

Upcoming events:
January 23 David K & Tom B & Compact Grey
February 19 Claptone

9/9

Fogashá

Fogasház functions both as a ruin pub and a club: they have budget-friendly drinks and cocktails to quench your thirst and a big dance floor and well-known local DJs to cure your boogie fever. They also prepare tasty burgers and pizza slices, so if you are running low on energy they know the answer. The place also functions as a hub for arts events and as a gathering place for contemporary visionaries, so you can run into exhibitions as well as the biggest Hungarian talents here too.

Upcoming events:
January 24 Soul Cure
