Le Redlight
Beneath Tour Montparnasse, this huge, laser-lit venue, fittingly called l’enfer (hell) in a previous life, is up there among Paris’ busiest house, techno and electro clubs. Its podiums get packed out with a young, dance-mad crowd well past dawn. Hours often vary depending on the soirée – see its website for flyers.

La Dame de Canton
This floating boîte (club) aboard a three-masted Chinese junk with a couple of world voyages under its belt bobs beneath the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Concerts range from pop and indie to electro, hip-hop, reggae and rock; afterwards DJs keep the young crowd moving. There’s also a popular restaurant and bar.

Le Wagg
Although it’s not as hip as many Right Bank party spots, this slick, contemporary club (associated with the popular Fabric in London) isn’t as hard to get into, either. The dance floor starts filling up in the wee hours; check the website for parties and events including Sunday salsa class followed by une soirée 100% cubaine.

Krystle
The favourite venue of many a Celtic cub, Krystle (annoyingly pronounced 'cris-tal' by its snootiest devotees) is where you'll most likely find the current crop of celebrities and their hangers-on, although you'll have to wade your way through the huge main floor and gain access to the upstairs VIP lounge for maximum exposure. Chart hits and club classics are the mainstay here.

Le Djoon
In an area increasingly known for its cutting-edge venues, this urbanite, New York–inspired loft club and restaurant has carved out a name for itself as a super-stylish weekend venue for soul, funk, deep house, garage and disco, courtesy of visiting DJs. Thursday and Sunday evenings are tamer but still DJ-fed dance. Look for the striking glass-and-steel façade.

Sanz Sans
A little cheesy, a little sleazy, this lively bar clad in red velvet and zebra stripes continues to hold out as a busy drinking venue on the Bastille beat. DJs spin everything from electronic to funk and soul, and the crowd is similarly unpredictable.

Barrio Latino
Still squeezing the salsa theme for all that it’s worth, this enormous over-the-top bar-restaurant with serious dancing is spread over three highly impressive floors. It attracts Latinos, Latino wannabes, Latino wannahaves and a gay crowd. Don’t arrive too late; the queue to get in can be formidably long.

Think Tank
Dance DJs, Battle of the Bands nights, visiting live acts and assorted other festivities make up the menu at this basement club in Temple Bar. There's a mix of underground R & B, hip hop, trance, house and other electronic beats to keep the largely youthful crowd dancing.

Village
When the live music ends , the club kicks off and takes 600-odd groovers through a consistent mix of new and old tunes, dance-floor classics and whatever else will shake that booty. A great venue, an eager crowd and a top night out overall.

Spy/Wax
Part of the magnificent 18th-century Powerscourt complex, at Spy/Wax you get two clubs for the price of one: upstairs, spread across three levels and a host of rooms, is handsome Spy, where the music is eclectic and the crowd beautifully self-aware. In the basement is Wax, a hardcore dance sweatbox where you can really let loose.

Pod
Dublin's once-legendary dance club has been resized to fit owner John Reynold's vision of three entertainment venues in one complex, with the now smaller PoD still hosting some excellent club nights, including Friday night's Trainwreck – all techno, house and electro.

Hogan's
The basement of this popular bar is where you'll hear some of Dublin's best DJs spin to a sweaty, appreciative floor – the music policy is not overly precious, but you won't hear anything charty. On Fridays, Mr Moto and Nelly Romano play Latin-fused house.
