Nightlife in Andorra: clubs, après-ski and pubs for an evening in the Principality

Andorra is more than skiing, shopping and mountain scenery. When night falls, the country reveals a different rhythm: clubs, mountain après-ski venues and pubs offering billiards, darts or karaoke where evenings can stretch well past midnight.

The scene is not vast, but it is very clear. This guide breaks it down into three categories:

• Clubs open until around 5:00 a.m.
• Après-ski venues operating during the winter season
• Pubs and music bars, often with games and social spaces

🎧 Clubs in Andorra: where the night runs until 5 a.m.

Andorra has only a handful of large clubs, making the landscape easy to navigate. If you are looking for a genuine night out, these are the places where things happen.

🔹 UNNIC – Casino Club

The club inside the UNNIC complex in Andorra la Vella has become a benchmark for those seeking a cosmopolitan atmosphere. A spacious venue with refined décor, quality sound and a diverse crowd.

Dinner, cocktails, lounge areas and the casino are all under one roof, making it ideal for a complete night out ending on the dance floor until around 5 a.m.

🔹 Bandidos – Andorra la Vella

A large and comfortable club with varied music and a less crowded feel. A solid choice if you prefer space to dance without the sense of being packed in.

🔹 Kapital – Borda Estevet – Andorra la Vella

Located in the historic Borda Estevet, Kapital is one of the last classic-style clubs in the Principality. Commercial music, a mixed crowd and a straightforward, festive atmosphere.

🎿 Après-ski in Andorra: afternoon ambience among the mountains

A cornerstone of Andorra’s winter life, après-ski blends terraces, music and mountain views. It typically runs from late afternoon to 9–10 p.m., operating only during the winter season, with peak months from January to April.

🔹 L’Abarset – El Tarter (Grandvalira)

A phenomenon in its own right. A refined restaurant, a large terrace and a strong DJ programme make it the country’s leading après-ski venue. The restaurant’s quality is remarkable.

🔹 The Boss Après-ski – El Tarter

More informal, with American/Tex-Mex-style dishes, generous portions and a relaxed, festive mood.

🔹 Veuve Clicquot Lounge – El Tarter

A quieter, more elegant take on après-ski, offering premium drinks and a chic mountain finish to the day.

🔹 Fat Alberts – Soldeu

A Soldeu classic where après-ski effortlessly blends into the evening pub atmosphere.

🔹 The Villager – Soldeu

A calm, cosy setting with tapas and long conversations. More of a pub-style après-ski, but extremely popular and ideally located next to the Hermitage.

🔹 Funicamp – Encamp

High-altitude terraces with music and drinks, depending on the season, before descending by funicular.

🔹 Ordino Arcalís – High-altitude après-ski

Terraces with views, music and an authentic mountain feel without the crowds.
