This club has been around for years and consistently attracts huge, diverse crowds, gay and straight, younger and older. The most cutting-edge music is always featured, and the theme nights are some of the best on the Riviera. Popular among people who like to stay out late ­ and early into the morning.

Ladies get in free until 12:30am, and a free drink is given to students, which means this disco is guaranteed to be full of the young, hip, and wild. This club is one of the newer entries onto the Nice scene and has gained quite a following thanks to its cutting edge DJ's spinning everything from house to garage to techno and disco. If you like late nights and bright lights, this is a top pick.

This bar does not cater to the rowdy young backpacker set, but offers great music, ambience and dancing to a classy, sophisticated crowd. Wear your best, for the locals and visitors here are typically high fashion and dressed to the nines. The door policy is somewhat restrictive, but once inside, you will find the decor is a colorful, high-tech visual treat. Then grab a cocktail and hit the dance floor with Nice's young elite.

This club starts out the evening as a well-regarded restaurant, and many patrons stay after dinner to listen to music and enjoy an after-dinner drink. If you like dancing into the wee hours, you can do that here. Otherwise, grab a good seat and watch the scene, which is also entertaining. One of Nice's hippest dance clubs, with upscale surroundings and a diverse crowd.

This ornate, over-the-top bar recently opened and is drawing huge crowds thanks to attentive service (door people, bartenders, and even valets) and festive Baroque decor. The door policy leaves many people outside, which has added to the club's mystique. Friday and Saturday are called "Extravaganza Nights," when the management pulls out all the stops to keep the party going until late. Sundays bring guest DJ's from around Europe, and Tuesday is "Surprise Night," so you never know what will happen ­ but expect a good time.
