Planning the bride’s Bath hen do and want to know where to dance? 💃 Here are the 8 best clubs in Bath for a hen party, from proper nightclubs to late-night cocktail bars where you can still dance.
Short on time? Go to Labyrinth for a proper late-night club, Sub 13 for a whole night under one roof, and Komedia for cheesy pop and singalongs.
We’ve been planning hen weekends since 2002, and Bath is still one of our favourite cities for a night out. 🙌
Its late-night venues are small but mighty, and they’re all within walking distance of each other, so you can start with cocktails and finish dancing without a taxi in sight.
Here’s all the goss you need before you hit the clubs!
Jump to:
- Sub 13: the whole night in one place
- Circo: cocktails before the clubs
- The Common Room: 150+ rums and DJs
- Komedia: retro pop and comedy
- Labyrinth: the proper late-night club
- Second Bridge: R&B nights and VIP vaults
- Mandalyns: drag and karaoke
- Be At One: happy hour by the station
Sub 13
This thrilling 4-in-1 spot is every hen’s dream!
You get a cocktail bar, a gin bar, a heated terrace that’s open all year round, and an entire club hidden away in the basement. Start on the terrace, work your way down, and you might not need to leave all night.
Why We Love Sub 13 😍

- The gin bar and the cocktails
- The basement club
- The guest DJs
Best for: Hens who want drinks and dancing under one roof
Dress code: Smart casual, no sportswear in the evenings. Tasteful hen fancy dress is welcome!

Circo
Circo is one of our absolute favourites!
Tucked away in a Georgian cellar on George Street, it’s under new owners with a shiny new cocktail menu. It’s a cocktail bar first, but it stays open late at weekends, so it’s a great warm-up for the rest of the night.
Why We Love Circo 😍
- The cocktail menu
- The staff who really know their stuff
- The cocktail masterclasses (great for a group!)
Best for: Top-notch cocktails to kick off the night

Komedia
Komedia is so much more than a comedy club, a live music venue or a cabaret bar. 🎭
Its retro pop club nights, Big Disco and FAME, are made for singing your heart out with the girls, and touring nights like Swiftogeddon (the Taylor Swift club night) have played here too. Catch a comedy show first, then stay for the club night!
Why We Love Komedia 😍
- The retro pop club nights
- The comedy shows
- The cabaret and live music
Best for: Singalongs, throwback tunes and a laugh

Got another hour of partying left in you, but the bars are closing their doors? Labyrinth is where you need to go!
It’s just had a big relaunch, with a new Onyx Bar, a Dirty Disco room and an upgraded Main Arena with new sound and lighting. It’s one of the latest finishes in Bath, so your night ends on a high.
Why We Love Labyrinth 😍
- The new Dirty Disco room
- Several rooms, so everyone gets their music
- The pumping atmosphere

Second Bridge
This nightclub is one of Bath’s best (which is why it’s on our list). But be warned… every night there is out of the norm!
From K-pop parties to R&B and trap nights, there’s a different theme five nights a week. It also has three themed VIP vaults, which are ideal if you want your own space for the girls.
Why We Love Second Bridge 😍
- The R&B nights
- The VIP vaults
- The photo ops
Best for: R&B fans and groups who want a VIP area
Dress code: Smart casual, and fancy dress is allowed

Mandalyns
Tucked away on Lansdown Road, just outside the city centre, Mandalyns is Bath’s oldest and best-loved LGBTQ+ bar. 🏳️🌈
With hilarious drag hosts and karaoke, all rulebooks and inhibitions are left at the door. Everyone is welcome, and hens get a brilliant reception!
Why We Love Mandalyns 😍

Planning a Night Out in Bath?
Start in a bar, then hit the clubs once things get busy. Most hens kick off on George Street (Sub 13 and Circo are a few doors apart), then head down to Labyrinth or Second Bridge later on. 🥂
For a starting point, check out the best bars in Bath for a hen party, and read our Bath nightlife guide for tips on dress codes, queues and getting home.
⏰ Closing times: Most Bath clubs shut between 2am and 3am at weekends, and Labyrinth is one of the last to close. Hours change through the year, so check before you go.
👰 Fancy dress: Most venues are happy with hen fancy dress as long as it’s tasteful, but it’s always worth checking first.
Want to skip the queue? Our guestlist nightclubbing gets the group straight in, and a cocktail making class is a great way to warm up.
But that’s not all… 🤯
For the daytime, there are loads of fun things to do in Bath, or give our Bath hen party photo challenge a go!
