Located in the historic Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach, after a two-year and one-billion dollar transformation, LIV was born in 2008. LIV is an ultra-chic lounge mixed with a high-energy dance club, making it the ultimate EDM-exclusive club in Miami. With some of the world’s best DJs performing on any giving night (except Monday and Tuesday when it’s closed) and surprise celebrity guests dropping in, LIV has more than lived up to its reputation. The venue itself is three stories and 18,000 square feet of unbelievable architecture and design, including an enormous dancefloor, ultra plush VIP areas, and plenty of seating surrounding. LIV was built in a way that no matter where you are in the club, you have the best view in the house. The continuous and ever-changing LED lights illustrate a light show comparable to fireworks lighting up the night. If the music, atmosphere, and architecture don’t convince you, the restrooms offer vending machines with flats for women whose heels are killing them! How considerate! They ever have secure purse drawers in the VIP areas. No wonder admission fees and dress code are on the upscale side; this club has everything!

Formally Level, one of South Beach’s biggest hip-hop clubs in the late ’90s early 2000s; Mansion dominated the scene upon its takeover. Located in the heart of South Beach on Washington Ave., Mansion is one of the largest clubs in Miami and hosts an incredible assortment of today’s most popular and up-and-coming DJs spinning the freshest and most eclectic EDM tracks imaginable. The venue is designed and constructed like a mansion completely immersed in EDM euphoria with two levels, five bars, VIP rooms, a foyer and more. Open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Mansion showcases unique nights and unforgettable experiences. Mansion has taken the nightclub scene to another level!

Located on 23^rd St. at the beginning of South Beach, Treehouse has become one of Miami’s best EDM clubs in recent years. Treehouse is an underground nightclub that seems more like a “Euro House” in London or Berlin than Miami. This club is all about the music and dancing: No gimmicks, pretension, or absurd prices. Treehouse is more low-key compared to other clubs surrounding it, however, when that music starts pumping, it’s anything but low-key. The venue has both an inside and outside area with DJs spinning sick tunes. If you just want to dance without the hassle, this is the place to be!

Located in Downtown Miami, Club Space is one of the few long-standing nightclubs in Miami. As of 2013, they celebrated their entry into their second decade of operation and continue to move forward as one of the best clubs in Miami. Club Space allows partygoers to dance their faces off all day and night and into the next day. It’s one of the few clubs in Miami to offer such an extensive time frame. Club Space first opened in a renovated old warehouse in 2003 and has evolved into quite the spectacle. Now in their second venue, Club Space offers everything the hottest clubs in Miami offer—with more edge and excitement—not to mention the mind-blowing music blasting through the speakers.

Located in Wynwood, The Electric Pickle Co. has become of the hippest nightclubs in Miami. Known as “the DJs Club” The Electric Pickle Co. offers guests a more hip and artsy approach than those on South Beach. This is where DJs come to chill after they spun somewhere else and the music is always bumping hard! With two floors of awesomeness, a patio, and Wynwood Art District surrounding the venue, it’s no wonder this place has made it to the top five best EDM nightclubs in Miami.
