After covering all of the finest places to wine and dine with friends and family in our New Year’s restaurant guide, now it’s the turn of the top bars and nightclubs in the Principality.
It looks like Monaco is gearing up for a huge New Year’s Eve, with parties and concerts set to take place in every corner and venue of the Principality. From all-out club experiences to concerts and cocktails, here’s our pick of the best and the biggest.
NIGHTCLUBS
Jimmy’z Monte-Carlo is one of the longest standing nightclubs in Monaco, but its popularity has certainly not faded with time. If anything, the place is going from strength to strength, as shown in its massive plans for the New Year’s weekend. A line-up of renowned DJs, including Ollie Deejay, DOSH, RAWDØLFF and Siryll, will be performing from 29th through to 31st December from 11pm until the early hours. Click here for more information.
Next comes Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo, with its combination of party and in-house dining. There’s a €490 menu on offer in the restaurant and a €450 Omakase menu in the lounge bar, while DJ Papa will be serving up the tunes in the club.

MK Club down on the Route de la Piscine will be hosting a Studio 54-themed party on 31st December from 10am until 7am. Yes, 7am! It promises to be an unforgettable night. For more information, click here.
BARS
The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort’s Blue Gin has been transformed into the Antarctic-inspired Blue Ice for the holidays, complete with frosted fir trees and sledges as seating. The New Year’s Eve programme features fireworks, a live DJ and one of the most inventive cocktail menus in the Principality at the moment.
There are blues of a different hue over at the Hôtel de Paris’ Bar Américain, which will be pairing live jazz and soul with elegant cocktails and an à la carte dinner service. It is worth noting that there will be a minimum €750 spend on cocktails and other beverages in place here.
Another option is the Crystal Bar at the Hôtel Hermitage, with its special aperitif evening from 7pm. There are two canapé menus on offer here: a €40 package for four gourmet canapés and a cocktail or the €65 menu that offers five dishes and a drink. For more information, click here.
ICONIC VENUES
Live music in the lounge bar of the Salle Europe will provide the perfect backdrop to an evening at the games tables of the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Spending the evening at this legendary Monaco address offers a different kind of thrill to a night on the dancefloor, but will provide an insight into the golden history and heritage of the Principality in a way that no other place can dream of.

And the final spot on the list goes to the famous Salle des Etoiles and its ABBA tribute show. The doors to ‘The Show: A Tribute to ABBA’ will open at 8pm. Tickets cost €665 and the event is suitable for all aged seven and up. Click here to find out more.
