Ahmedabad’s nightlife operates under Gujarat’s prohibition laws, which means alcohol service requires a permit and many of the venues on this list operate as private lounges, members’ clubs or permit-based entertainment spaces rather than standard nightclubs. This is a structural reality that affects both the format and the character of going out in the city. Most of the venues here are lounge or recreation club formats with DJ and live music programming rather than the high-energy dance floor clubs you’d find in Mumbai or Gurgaon. We mapped 20 clubs in Ahmedabad, sorted by area.
A quick note: if you are visiting Ahmedabad, check the permit requirements for your specific situation before planning a night at any of these venues. Permit requirements, operating formats and venue availability can change. Several venues on this list (Rajpath Club, Karnavati Club, Silver Leaf Club) are private members’ clubs that may require membership or a member’s invitation.
If you’re based in Ahmedabad, Stanza Living’s PG in Ahmedabad options cover Navrangpura, Bodakdev and Satellite.

Reviewers describe the setting and the DJ programming quality as comparable to mid-tier lounges in larger cities. Worth knowing if you’re comparing PG in Navrangpura with Prahlad Nagar as your base.

Amnesia Lounge on SG Highway combines late-night dining with music programming in a lounge format suited to an evening that spans food and music.
O2 in Bodakdev is a rooftop lounge format with DJ programming, giving the Bodakdev residential area an outdoor evening option.
Mocha Lounge in Bodakdev operates as a relaxed music lounge for a casual evening rather than a high-energy dance floor night. Suits a group that wants music in a calm setting.
650 is primarily a fine dining restaurant with live music programming rather than a nightclub, making it the most dining-forward option on this Ahmedabad list. The live music happens alongside a meal rather than after it. Worth reading our restaurants in Ahmedabad guide for the full dining context alongside this nightlife list.
Spirit O Sound in Bhat is specifically a DJ and live entertainment venue that leans closer to the nightclub format than most other Ahmedabad options, running weekend DJ nights in a dedicated entertainment space.
Electron in Bhat is the most disc-lounge and EDM-oriented venue in Ahmedabad, offering the closest approximation to a dance-floor club experience available within Gujarat’s permit framework.
Club Babylon in Sola programmes luxury events and parties in a setting that reflects the premium club format within Ahmedabad’s regulatory context.
Silver Leaf in Sola is a family club and evening entertainment venue rather than a nightclub, with programming that includes family-appropriate entertainment alongside evening music.
Pleasure Club in Ghuma is a recreation club with weekend events, serving the residential Ghuma area with community-format entertainment programming.
Encore in Gurukul is the most Bollywood and EDM-forward club in the northern Ahmedabad belt, running dance floor nights that are the closest to a standard club format in that part of the city.
Rewind in Memnagar specifically programmes retro and commercial music, which gives it a different character from the more contemporary formats of Encore or Electron. Good for a crowd that wants 90s Bollywood and classic commercial hits rather than current EDM. Worth knowing if you’re based near Bodakdev and want the Memnagar option close by.
Lil Heaven in Thaltej is a rooftop DJ lounge, adding a third rooftop option to this Ahmedabad list alongside O2 in Bodakdev and Skyz in Vastrapur.
Business Class Lounge in Ellisbridge offers a premium lounge experience for the central Ahmedabad crowd, with a setting and service standard that reflects the upscale character of the Ellisbridge area.
Skyz in Vastrapur is a rooftop restaurant and banquet that programmes music evenings, making it the third rooftop option on this Ahmedabad list. The restaurant-and-banquet format means it handles group bookings and events better than the pure club venues. Also worth reading our cost of living in Ahmedabad guide if you’re settling into the city.
