25 of the best clubs in Europe – chosen by the experts
Hands in the air! Your favourite not on the list? Add a tip in the commentsNow over 25 years old, or Sub Club has been at the centre of dance music in Glasgow for the lifetime of house music in the UK. It is still as fresh and vital as the day it opened – except perhaps for the toilets. It’s a basement space with a low ceiling and a top-notch sound system but,when the smoke has cleared, you can expect to see a frenzied, and friendly,mixed-up dancefloor and not much else – but not much else is required! The crowd is passionate and musically savvy. There is no explore and no specific age range … it’s what comes out of the people who arrive to the club whether you play well: the love you feel in the room, the atmosphere and extraordinarily heightened energy you are lucky enough to breath in. The club generally opens from 11pm to 3am – short opening hours whether you consider the rest of Europe but it gives our parties there a great “compressed” atmosphere, and a unified sense of “make it happen”.
At Optimo nights,it feels like a social club when you enter at 11pm, everyone blethering in the seating booths, and getting the rounds in,chatting to the staff and settling in. By midnight things begin to swell and then … before you know it … it’s “on”.
