Nightlife in Miami is world-famous, drawing revelers from near and far to experience the over-the-top entertainment on offer until the wee hours of the morning. From sunset to sunrise, clubbers can party on dance floors with top DJs, aerialists, fire dancers and all manner of eye-popping performances. Plus, of course, bottle service and top-notch vibes.
This reputation has not gone unnoticed on the global stage. Two Miami institutions, E11even Miami and Club Space, landed on Nightlife International’s list of the 100 best nightclubs in the world for 2025. E11even claimed the number six spot, holding steady from last year, while Club Space came in at number. 20, a slight dip from its previous ranking. They join international giants like Hi Ibiza, Bootshaus in Germany and Shoko Barcelona on a list curated by Nightlife International, the nonprofit organization representing nightlife professionals worldwide.
E11even and Space are longtime neighbors in Downtown Miami, a late-night playground packed with bars, restaurants and live music venues. E11even bills itself as the world’s only 24/7 ultra-club, and it leans fully into spectacle. Headlining acts rotate almost nightly, spanning hip-hop, EDM and pop, with past performers including Cardi B, Diplo and Steve Aoki. The music is enhanced by dancers suspended from ceilings, confetti cannons and a sound system so good you feel it in your bones. Add in a rooftop bar and restaurant, and E11even becomes is a one-stop destination for a no-holds-barred night out.
Club Space is widely regarded as Miami’s premier dance club, known for long DJ sets and a fiercely loyal crowd. The open-air terrace hosts international DJs who spin through sunrise as blasts of cryo-smoke cool down dancers who’ve been moving for hours. Downstairs, Space houses The Ground and Floyd, smaller rooms that showcase underground electronic acts, indie bands and local talent. Space typically opens at 11pm Friday and doesn’t close until Monday morning, a legendary schedule that guarantees all night partying.
Just one other U.S. club made the top 10 list: Echostage in Washington, D.C. Avant Gardner in NYC, HQ2 Nightclub in Atlantic City and Omnia in Las Vegas made the top 20. Not surprisingly, three clubs in Ibiza—UNVRS, Hi and Ushuaia—topped the list.
