Tiffany Club
Tiffany Club is Ljubljana's primary LGBTQ venue, operating from a space in the Metelkova complex that's been serving the community since the 1990s. The main room holds about 120 people, with a dance floor, a DJ booth, and a bar decorated in a style that mixes camp with punk aesthetics. Programming includes themed nights, drag shows, pop and house DJ sets, and community events that range from film screenings to discussions. The door policy is explicitly inclusive: everyone is welcome regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The name plays on mainstream expectations while the venue itself operates firmly within Metelkova's alternative framework. Drag performances are a highlight, featuring both local queens and traveling performers. The atmosphere on a Saturday night is celebratory and uninhibited, with a crowd that includes LGBTQ community members, allies, curious tourists, and Metelkova regulars who move between venues throughout the evening.

Full Review
Tiffany Club holds a specific place in Ljubljana's cultural landscape. As the capital's longest-running LGBTQ venue, it's both a nightclub and a community institution. Metelkova's autonomous status gave the club protection during decades when mainstream venues weren't welcoming to LGBTQ patrons, and that history informs the atmosphere even now that Ljubljana's broader nightlife is more inclusive.
The drag shows are the signature attraction. Local performers have developed a scene that rivals cities with much larger LGBTQ populations, bringing a mix of lip-sync performances, comedy, and costume artistry that works the room effectively. International performers visit regularly, and the crossover between drag culture and the broader Metelkova art scene creates collaborations that don't happen in conventional gay clubs.
The dance floor after the shows is pure release. The DJ reads the room's energy post-performance and builds on it, typically starting with pop and disco before moving into house territory as the night progresses. The crowd is mixed in every sense: gender, orientation, age, nationality, and dance ability. Nobody watches from the sidelines here.
For LGBTQ travelers, Tiffany Club offers a familiar sense of community in a city small enough that finding it isn't guaranteed. For everyone else, it's an invitation to experience nightlife without the social hierarchies and gender dynamics that define most straight clubs. The result is a night that feels freer than most.
The venue's Metelkova location means it benefits from the complex's foot traffic. People wander in from the courtyard, stay for a show or a dance, and become regulars. The low prices and zero attitude make the barrier to entry as low as a club can manage.
The Neighborhood

Getting There
Inside the Metelkova complex, Tiffany Club is in one of the buildings around the central courtyard. Look for rainbow signage or ask at any of the other venues for directions. From the train station, walk east for 5 minutes to Metelkova ulica 6.

Jalla Jalla
A two-room club in the Metelkova complex specializing in electronic music. One room runs techno and house, the other hosts drum and bass, dubstep, and experimental sets. The sound system is surprisingly good for a squat venue.
