    3001

    A clubber's nirvana, this hot 'n' heavy club in Medienhafen has a giant dance floor where DJs whip shiny, happy and barely legal hotties into a frenzy with electro and sizzling light and video projections. The crowd's a bit older and admission is free during 'Milchbar' on Thursdays.

    Harpune

    At this highly rated club the dance floor hums with a mixed bag of globally influenced techno, House and electronica. Fridays are dedicated to other music styles, from hip-hop to reggae. The door policy is pretty relaxed, but don't show up drunk or dishevelled.

    Pretty Vacant

    It may be named for a Sex Pistols song, but this Altstadt haunt ain't no punk club. It's a shape-shifter really, whose cellar walls vibrate to different sounds nightly - glam rock to Britpop, electronica to R&B. Live bands, too.

  4. Malteserkeller

    Elvin Jones and Bill Ramsey used to be regulars at what was once a venerable jazz venue. Changing tastes and financial realities have translated into an expanded musical menu that includes electro-funk, house, Nu Skool and punk.

    Lauschgift

    This three-part fun zone is tailor-made for those nights when you're not sure whether you simply want to chill or hit the dance floor. If you fancy a spin, expect different sounds nightly - electro to funk, soul to trip-hop.

    Gebäude 9

    This ex-factory is an essential indie-rock concert venue in town. DJs take over at other times, and there's also an eclectic programme of non-mainstream plays and films. Take tram 3 or 4 to KölnMesse/Osthallen.

  7. Starfish

    A cornerstone of Aachen's dance-club scene, Starfish keeps things interesting with four different dance floors playing house and charts, rock and soul. It's about 2.5km northeast of the city centre.
