Babylon

Conveniently housed above The College bar, the same clientele often migrates upstairs to finish their evening in Aberdeen’s smartest nightclub. Upmarket without being pretentious, the dark purple décor and granite stonework have a gothic feel, making a fresh change from style-land’s creams and muted tones. The absence of a large dance floor means the grown-up, well-heeled crowd grooves rather than moves to diverse dance music.
