The Djungeltrumman club editor's tips.
Café Rasoir
Address: Café le fil du rasoir, Norra Vallgatan 62
9pm – 1am
Free entry until 10pm, 90 kronor later
Age: 20 and over
This French-sounding gem is located right down at the bottom of the Hotel Savoy. The club has attracted work weary Malmö residents for atmospheric tête à têtes over a glass of red wine. Given that it's a steakhouse, there are oysters, snails and entrecôte on offer. But you can just as easily go there to enjoy a classic cocktail in the award-winning bar section. By night this is a meting place for the city's representative's of bohemian chic, discussing important matters in the glow of candlelight.
Tonight
Lounge and house with Ali Atié. Cocktails of the week: Rusty Nail and Gimlet.
Freaks'n'Geeks
Address: Debaser Malmö, Norra Parkgatan 2
7pm - 3am
90 kronor (Free until 10pm)
Age: 20 and over
Nerds and dorks also want to be able to party without risk of having a bucket of pigs' blood poured over them like in the movie Carrie. This autumn they'll find a refuge at Debaser, where mingle girl Sanna and musical fascist Madeleine are creating a bullying free zone, with indie, experimental, lo-fi, indietronica and shoegaze emanating from the speakers. Sports jocks and cheerleaders are not welcome here.
Tonight
Live +/-. The band +/- does exactly what it feels like, whether this means playing drums with Kelly Clarkson or cooking their favourite food for their fans.
Function
Address: Babel, Spångatan 38
11pm - 3am
100 kronor (80 kronor with student ID)
Age: 20 and over
Function is the club that is rocking the entire Öresund region. Sweat and love are two themes closely connected to this soul classic, where Saturday nights are spent in a collective celebration of dance, dance and more dance. The club's DJs alternate expertly between northern soul, alternative disco and soulful house, a soundtrack to which it is impossible to stand still.
Tonight
Function celebrates its second anniversary by inviting over another 2-year-old: the Popolino clothes store. Congratulations!
Wonk
Address: A2, Adelgatan 2
11pm 4am
100 kronor (50 kronor until midnight)
Age: 20 and over
Website
There was quite a fanfare when gay club Wonk Deep moved into the new surroundings of A2. But have no fear: Wonk is still very much Wonk. World-renowned DJs do their stuff on three dancefloors: schlager, pop and house. Sip a Sex on the Beach, join in the Karaoke, try out the strippers pole and make yourself at home. PS: Free entry for drag queens.
