Before You Go Out This Weekend Check Out TripAdvisor Reviews of Europe's Favorite Nightclubs

"I had just arrived from a baptism so was feeling pretty pumped."

The clubbing landscape in 2015 is treacherous. With the cost of entry, drinks, cigs, taxis, and Lynx Africa to consider, the last thing you want to do is shell out for a night out only to be cruelly disappointed by the reality of the club. Never fear, the internet has a solution. Despite being more associated with ranking river cruises, or rating tapas bars out of five, the TripAdvisor community also has plenty of advice when it comes to rating night clubs. So, in order to cut to the chase, we've compiled a few of the best reviews of the biggest and best clubs in the world. Enjoy.

Fabric

Ah, Faringdon's finest. London's pride. The best club in the world. Or something. Even if it's not quite that, fabric is still a really good club with a load of really annoying staircases in it. And odd toilets.

The Good:

I want the night these guys had. Big up the ever hilarious Paul Durand.

The Bad:

Right, firstly, you could have looked up who was playing that night, so no, no sympathy here for you being subjected to crappy dubstep in both dance floors. Secondly, two girls is enough for a party. Any amount of girls is enough for a party unless you literally only go to clubs that have strict gender splits and everyone at the party is there to have sex. Thirdly, why were they playing ambient at a crappy dubstep night? Fourthly, what if I like throwing my money AND my night in the trash? So what if I like that?

The Ugly:

This is very dramatic and paints quite a terrifying, though cinematic, picture. No one wants to expelled from anywhere, do they? Let alone a club as good as fabric. Not to come across as too Daily Mail here but the guards did the right thing. You can't just go around giving cigarettes to girls willy nilly mate — especially not troublesome ones who light up any old place.

Berghain

There's a very common theme to the Trip Advisor reviews of Berghain. They generally either say "arrogant horrible pretentious club that wouldn't let me in" or "the greatest club in the world who did let me in." That being said, there are some odd hot-takes in amongst the appraisals.

The Good:

Just wow…really makes you take a breath and say, "just wow". Toilets for both man and woman in the same place. Just wow.

The Bad:

When negative reviews become uplifting, pre-battle speeches from military movies.

The Ugly:

A stag party of lads in matching chinos trying to enter Berghain — ugly but somehow beautiful also.

How to survive 24 hours in Berghain.

Sub Club

The reviews of Glasgow's jewel are about as fiercely passionate as you'd expect. Everyone fucking loves Glasgow and everyone really fucking loves Sub Club (nearly).

The Good:

I mean, there are tonnes like this, but there is something especially lovely about this one. Mmmmmmmm.

The Bad:

"I did not…NOT…trek all the way from seeing Kasabian — who fucking smashed it by the way — only to be denied entry. Wasted journey."

The Ugly:

Check out Wikihow's guide to pulling girls in a night club.

XOYO

East London's finest is gradually becoming one of London's clubbing landmarks. We love it there, but here is what Trip Advisor thought…

The Good:

Pretty straightforward nice review there, somehow made a million times more poignant with the simple word "Faith" for a title.

The Bad:

TFW you go to the club and there is smog everywhere.

The Ugly:

We've put this in the ugly section, but you know what we mean. It's obviously not ugly, more weird — capturing as it does the irrepressible energy of a man freshly pumped up by a baptism. Leroy out.

Space

Space is one of those massive clubs in Ibiza that's so big it seems like a frankly terrifying experience even entering it. So I haven't been. Because I'm a pussy.

The Good:

Alright mate, didn't read the post but the headline was good. Well done.

The Bad:

Alright mate, I actually really like young drunk pushy girls flicking hair all over them and I like seriously awful music and I like the Inbetweeners and I like paying 12 euro for a beer and I like paying 14 euro for a Red Bull even if that is cheeky. So fuck off.

The Ugly:

Alright mate, we didn't ask for your life story.
