11+ Excellent WordPress Nightclub Themes 2020

Hey there, party people!  For this article, we’ve rounded up a few of the best WordPress nightclub themes for 2020.   Or nightlife themes, whatever you want to call them.  If you’re building a website for a bar, party event, or dance club using WordPress, and don’t want to shell out the cash for a custom design, this list will provide you with some options.

There’s not any *must-have* features when it comes to nightclub themes, but you might want to consider choosing a theme that has a built-in events manager, so that that site visitors can easily view upcoming events.  You may also want an integrated audio/video player to showcase upcoming talent and performers. 

We assembled this list by hand, and our selections are based largely on the quality and relevance of the design.  You probably don’t want your nightclub’s website to remind people of a bar & grill, a winery, or their soulless corporate job.

Note that if you’re starting from scratch, and aren’t sure you want to use WordPress, you may want to consider using a cloud based website creator.  Check out our comparison of WordPress, Wix, Weebly, and Duda.

Now back to the task at hand.  We think all the themes presented here nail the dance party aesthetic, starting with…
