Nightclubs in Ann Arbor

Necto is Ann Arbor's most celebrated LGBTQ+ and electronic music nightclub — a downtown venue that has served as the social anchor of Ann Arbor's LGBTQ+ community and dance music culture for over 35 years. Its extraordinary longevity and its role as Michigan's most beloved LGBTQ+ dance venue outside Detroit make it one of the most important nightclubs in the state.

Ann Arbor's nightclub scene serves the University of Michigan's 47,000-student community with venues presenting diverse entertainment from DJ nights to live music. Ann Arbor's unique character as a college town with genuine arts credentials (hosting the Ann Arbor Jazz and Blues Festival and the Ann Arbor Film Festival) creates a nightlife market more sophisticated than most college towns of its size.
