UPDATE YEAR 2007:
Voted BEST Night Club in India!
After hearing about the Club Cubana on VT, being approached by flyer-clutching youngsters on the beach, and being asked by every second taxi-driver "Party tonight, girls?" we semi-reluctantly decided to reserve our Wednesday evening for the Ladies Night at Club Cubana, the "Night Club in the Sky"...
...and seriously: we weren't disappointed!
After bumping along the Goa-typical country roads for 15 minutes, with Trance music thumping throughout our little mini van and a hyperactive taxi driver, we arrived at the foot of Arpora Hill where a signboard with big golden lips declared a right turn. Up the dirt road we headed (I honestly thought the mini bus wasn't going to make it without stalling!); and we were amused about the flashing cat-eyes embedded in the dirt track, showing us the way.
At the top, we arrived at an entrance fit to represent the Playboy Mansion, the bouncer marked our wrists with glow-in-the-dark ink, and up the stairs we climbed. Indeed, as we found out later through the manager Raat, it was once an inhabited family home that was later converted into this trendy night club, with great views at day and night.
To your left, there's the pool area with BBQ & bar, straight up and ahead takes you into the club with the dark dance floor and yet another bar, and to your right you'll find another plateau with a large bar and a large seating area (chairs, bar stools and sofas).
With bats flapping over our heads, confused by the laser show we quickly made friends with the German (gosh, we just get everywhere, don't we?! Haha!) bartender Oliver who gave us the low-down on the club's entrance & admission policies, special theme nights and his recent encounter with a tummy-bug.
On a regular night (open 7 days a week) the cover charge is 400 Rupees, which includes free unlimited drinks all night long!
Wednesdays is Ladies Night, with free entrance *and* free drinks all night.
Fridays is Bikini Night: anyone (even blokes) in a bikini gets free entrance & free drinks.
We went to Club Cubana on Wednesday and again on Friday (one has to show off her new bikini, right?).
You can enter the Bikini competition (yes, guys as well!) with weird games in & around the pool, with a prize of 10,000 Rupees for the winner; 7,000 Rs for the runner-up and 3,000 Rs for 3rd place... not bad!
All in all: I have NO CLUE how this club makes money whilst giving away free drinks all night long - but it's definitely a great place that you shouldn't miss.
Opening Hours: Every day, 09:30pm onwards.

 Shorebar Sunset by vinodcia
These three places are the best hangout zones for rave/Trance party. Paradiso is located at the starting point of Anjuna(while coming from vagator). On High season, party goes on for days. 9- bar, which is located at vagator, is also a good one for rave music but it closes down at 10.00 pm sharp. Shore bar is at Anjuna beach, here the parties go in full swing on wednesdays as many forgieners hang around at Anjuna beach after going to the Flea market.
A WORD OF WARNING: There are some transexuals (Hijras-A local term) who look like any other normal girls or even more beautiful than Indian Film actresses and they speak in a girls voice and a person can get easily fooled and can be ripped off his money after coming to know that the person is not a girl. They usually hang around in these places to make a quick buck and Rip-off anyone who takes them for having SEX. SO make sure you choose the right person.
Anything would do except a birthday suit! Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubDirections: Paradiso is located at the starting of Anjuna Beach, ask anyone out there. Shore bar is located at Anjuna beach. 9bar is at Vagator. The shack owners are well informed about the day to day Parties and they could suggest good places.

Tito's is another popular hangout place situated at Calangute-Baga lane where one can chill out and also a place for all the expats & travellers to meet up. It has an indoor night club, a multi-cuisine restaurant called "Brass", an outdoor pub, the currently most popular beach pub - "Mambo's" a 24 hour coffee shop and boutique.
Warning: Drugs are strictly prohibited inside the club and anybody found in possession of the same would be handed over to the Police.
A Normal clubwear would do! Leave a Comment

A couple of footprints from Tito's, right on Baga beach, you come across Mambo's, an open aired pub/club and one of the most happening places in North Goa. Things have changed a bit from yesteryears when there would be bonfires in the huge ground that the bar overlooks; fifty pint-sized bottles of beer on each table, piled up high in a form of a pyramid and waiting for the first jostling character to tip them all over.
Not like it would be a big disturbance; a lot of guffaws, clapping, cheering later, and everyone would go back to what they were doing before interruption stepped in. Don't get me wrong. The parties haven't dulled by far, people still getting wasted and high, dance, music and fun all around with more nationalities than you can count off your fingers. Very "multi-kultural" you might say! Sort of reminds me of an organized chaos.
There's theme nights for retro music, trance night, etc and the place is always crowded. A couple years back the entire tiny street would be jam-packed with rented motorcyles, a few cabbies outside wait anxiously to transfer tourists back to their beds for exhorbitant sums in rupees (not too many $$s). The restrooms have definitely been cleaned up from the parties back then.
If you're lucky you may see a dancer step up onto the tables 'sans' footwear, and gyrate to the music to some whistling and jeering from the crowd, women included, some of whom will jump right onto the bar tables and dance a bit themselves. There's a bit off food served too, but not many people I see go there for the food. Go on, have some fun!
Casuals are fine. It's Goa, you're expected to be lazying around, sneakers are preferred over sandals. If you came in straight from the beach, shorts 'might' be a problem.
It's approximately US$5-10 to get in (cover charge) but the price really varies per night. Christmas and New Years more expensive. Beers are about US$2-4. Order the local kingfishers and see what the fuss is all about. And no need to worry about getting tipsy. What happens in Goa, stays in Goa!

THis old, haunted and dangly house turns into a vibrant and lively night spot at the stroke of 11 every nite, if it the season" The season BTW is from Oct-Feb. Located in the lanes and bylanes of little vagator, this place offers carefree dancing and guaranteed good time.
Since they have psychedelic lites, it serves right to wear reflective clothing. If you dont have anything with that lineage, dont worry they have clothing specially for dancing sold just outside Primrose Club.
Hey if you dont any clothing dont worry, u can paint your body blue, white, and all that....
They have a free entry, so it was bliss for a ragpicker like me!!! Leave a Comment Theme: DancingAddress: Little vagatorPhone: 2273355

There is a new Ganrden restaurant open in Sinquerim, north Goa.
It's called 'SWEET CHILLI'
Beautiful layout on a hillside by the road to gort Aguada ( opp. road to Taj Gort Aguada).
They are open only on weekends now as it is off season. They have all the top of the line bands playing during weekends. May be during the season, the frequency of entertainments will increase.
It's worth a try during your stay in Goa Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: On the way to Fort Aguada ( Opp road to Taj AguadaDirections: Sinquerim, North GoaOther Contact: spiceodyssey@gmail.com

Great little club built into the Baga hillside, on the way to Anjuna. Its about 500 Rupees to get in but that covers drinks for the night! Good music and a great place to 'people-watch'.
Anything goes... Leave a Comment Theme: Dancing

hi everybody there are lot of places were you can spend you Nights in Goa. if your staying in calangute beach their lot of beach side resturants were you can have candle light Dinner with your most loving one all these beach side resturants are open till midnight. if you want to enjoy with rock Music Eden is the place but Drinks served here are quit costly not worth of it. If your are couple then Tito's is the right place. tito's is located in Baga beach its about 10 mins travel by Auto from calagute Beach( by Auto 40 rs). If your alone Mamboos is the right place you will be charged around 300 rs/ person. mamboos opens only after 11 pm and goes till early mornig its nice place to enjoy your night. In club cubana only couples are allowed mostly you can find only outside country people here you will be charged 600rs /person as enrty fees and unlimited Drinks free. if you want to go to club cubana it better you hire a taxi.
any thing will do Theme: Nightclub
