Our knowledge of nightlife doesn’t limit itself to North America, and that’s because our ears don’t only cover the music that comes out of this continent. We do have some pretty notorious nightclubs in the U.S., but if you haven’t seen the nightlife outside of this country, then you’re missing out on some of the top nightclubs in the world. From Germany to England, Spain to Singapore, there are nightclubs that constantly try to stake the claim as “Best in the World.” We’ve narrowed down the list to the top ten best nightclubs in the world for music, and here’s what we’ve come up with.

#10 Cielo – New York City

If you’re looking for the best house music in New York City, there are only two venues worth mentioning: Pacha NYC and Cielo. For those ravers and techno-music junkies out there who nightly crave the sounds of deep European dance music and floor-pulsing, heavy-hitting house in an upscale environment, Cielo is where it’s at. Found between 9th and Washington in the Meatpacking District, Cielo boasts a simple space, with a ‘70s playboy feel and a rowdy Ibiza flare, with nothing but house music, and those who crave it, filling the nightclub. Since 2004, the posh party haven has racked up tons of titles, including “Best Deep House Club” (New York Magazine, 2006), “Best Club” (ClubWorld, 2008) and “Best Party” for Dance.Here.Now (ClubWorld, 2009). Perhaps it’s the world-famous DJs this club attracts or perhaps it’s the reputation that continuously propels Cielo’s success that keep it going strong, but either way, it doesn’t look like this venue will be leaving the spotlight anytime soon.
