About Club 24
Club 24 is a lively nightclub and dance venue in the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood of Mexico City. It occupies the corner address Calle Santa María la Ribera 24, just west of the Alameda de Santa María la Ribera (www.timeout.com). The club features an eclectic tropical/Afro-inspired décor (the entrance even proclaims “Unleash your wild side” (www.timeout.com)) and a powerful sound system. Reviewers note that Club 24’s audio setup is among the best in the city (www.ticketfairy.com). Its multi-level layout gives everyone a view of the stage (www.ticketfairy.com). Inside, there is a high-energy dancefloor, multiple bars, and a small VIP section (www.ticketfairy.com). Club 24 is known locally for its friendly, inclusive vibe – the venue encourages creative self-expression in dress (www.ticketfairy.com) – and is popular with the city’s nightlife crowd.
Events and Programming
Club 24 primarily hosts DJ-driven dance nights and club parties. The programming focuses on electronic music (house, techno, EDM) mixed with Latin and tropical elements. International guest DJs and local talent both appear on the calendar. For example, French DJ Rafael Cerato played here in June 2022 (www.ticketfairy.com). The club often runs themed events (from 80s/90s retro nights to Día de los Muertos parties) and occasional live Latin bands. Weekly events typically happen on Thursday through Saturday nights, with occasional early-evening events on Mondays or Tuesdays. Cover charges are modest (around 80 MXN was noted for past events (www.timeout.com)) and drink prices average about 100 MXN or so (www.timeout.com). Tickets for big-name DJ shows or festival takeovers can be higher.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for Club 24 events are typically sold in advance online or at local ticket outlets. The club itself does not have its own ticket office, so most purchases are through convenience stores or affiliated promoters. Popular nights often sell out, so it’s wise to buy early. If any tickets remain, they can be purchased at the door before the show. Advance sales sometimes include group or early-bird deals. Note that age and capacity are enforced (see below), so confirm any presale details before arriving. When tickets sell out, attending through friend transfers or later resale sites may be the only option.
Seating and Layout
The layout of Club 24 is largely open dance floor. The main room has a raised stage/DJ booth at one end and an expansive wooden dance floor in front of it. Surrounding the dancefloor are a few scattered seating ledges and small bar tables near the walls. A second-level mezzanine wraps around two sides of the room, giving a balcony view down onto the floor (www.ticketfairy.com). VIP tables are located along the mezzanine edges and near the rear; these offer some seating and bottle service access (www.ticketfairy.com). In general, the club is more dancing/standing room than fixed seating. The wooden floor and bamboo decorations give it a beachy, tropical nightclub feel.
Getting There and Parking
Location: Club 24 is at Santa María la Ribera 24, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City, 06400 (www.timeout.com). This is on the near-west side of Colonia Santa María la Ribera, just north of Paseo de la Reforma. The nearest metro is San Cosme (Line 2), about a 5-minute walk north of the club (www.timeout.com). Several city bus routes (including Metrobus and RTP lines along Circuito Interior) also run nearby. Taxis or rideshares can drop you off right at Celaya & Salvador Díaz Mirón, a block from the club.
Parking: There is no dedicated parking lot for Club 24. Street parking in Santa María la Ribera can be scarce and fills up on busy nights. A few pay parking garages exist a short walk away (e.g. near Arcos de Belén or in Colonia Tabacalera), but even those can be limited. Most visitors prefer public transit or taxi/ride-share. If driving, allow extra time to find a spot and avoid leaving valuables in your car.
Inside the Venue
Entry and Security: Expect standard club entry procedures. ID is checked (only 18 and over admitted – see below). Guests may be searched for security. The interior is dimly lit with colored disco lights and occasional fog effects. The sound is very loud and bass-heavy to energize the crowd. There is good ventilation for a club of this size, but it will get hot when packed.
Bars and Drinks: Multiple bars are scattered around the space (www.ticketfairy.com). The bartenders mix an array of cocktails, especially mezcal-based concoctions and craft cocktails (one reviewer praised their skill and flair (www.ticketfairy.com)). Domestic and imported beers are available (often around 60–90 MXN), as are wine, spirits and shots. Time Out noted that Club 24’s drink menu includes signature cocktails and even complimentary appetizers: for example, a free cochinita-pibil panucho comes with your first drink (www.timeout.com). Other bar snacks like guacamole and shrimp tacos are crowd favorites (www.ticketfairy.com). Happy hours or drink specials may happen earlier in the night.
Amenities: Restrooms are provided and reportedly kept clean (www.ticketfairy.com). There isn’t a formal coat-check service, though staff may hold small belongings. Keep any large bags to a minimum. Wi-Fi is usually not advertised (club Wi-Fi is uncommon). Phone connectivity is spotty on the busy dance floor, so you may need to step out to make calls. An outdoor smoking area or patio is not a standard feature, so smokers typically step onto the sidewalk to smoke.
Nearby Amenities
The surrounding Santa María la Ribera district offers several dining and nightlife options before or after a show. Within a few blocks of Club 24 you’ll find casual bars and restaurants. For example, the popular Garage Modelo (Savador Díaz Mirón 192) serves gourmet burgers and craft beers (hoteltacubaya.com). On Jaime Torres Bodet St. nearby, Salón París is a historic cantina specializing in traditional Mexican fare (hoteltacubaya.com) – a good spot for drinks or a sit-down meal before the club. Other local favorites include Pulquería La Cyclopedia (pulque bar) and Cenaduría La Malinche (tacos), all easily walkable.
Hotels: The club’s immediate area is mostly residential, but there are boutique guesthouses and Airbnbs in Santa María la Ribera (for example near Glorieta de los Caballitos). Main hotels are a short taxi/Uber ride away: the Centro Histórico, Colonia Roma and Condesa have many options and are only a few metro stops from Club 24. If arriving by out-of-town, staying downtown or near Chapultepec will put you within easy transit of the club.
What Makes This Venue Special
Club 24 stands out for its unabashed party spirit. The décor – with tiki elements, tribal masks and bamboo palm accents – transports guests to a tropical oasis in the city. The dancefloor is said to “summon your feet to move” under soaring lights (www.ticketfairy.com). The club’s culture is very inclusive: as one source notes, Club 24 “encourages self-expression and creativity” in attire (www.ticketfairy.com). This, along with lively themed nights, makes it a favorite among Mexico City’s underground and LGBTQ+ crowds. The combination of top-notch sound equipment (www.ticketfairy.com), energetic lighting, and even complimentary snacks creates a high-end yet fun vibe. Many patrons love that they can enjoy strong local touches – from mezcal cocktails to free cochinita-pibil panuchos (www.timeout.com) – alongside international beats. In short, Club 24 is cherished as a close-knit “house of dance,” where community energy and good music turn every night into an adventure.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The venue is spread over multiple levels connected by stairs. There is no elevator, so wheelchair access is limited. If you have mobility concerns, it’s best to call ahead or plan to stay on the ground level.
What to Bring: Always carry a government-issued photo ID (18+). Dress for dancing – smart casual attire is recommended (www.ticketfairy.com). Many guests wear upbeat, club-appropriate outfits. Comfortable shoes are a good idea for the wooden dance floor. It’s wise to leave bulky bags at your hotel or in a taxi, since space is tight and bag checks are possible. Plan to pay bar tabs by credit card or cash; there is no ATM inside, so bring enough pesos.
Mistakes to Avoid: Don’t arrive too early expecting a party – Club 24 really picks up after 10–11pm. Also, if a cover charge or limit is posted, budget for it. Underestimate how popular the big shows are; popular DJs often sell out. Smoking inside is not allowed. Finally, keep an eye on your belongings when dancing; pickpocketing can happen in crowded clubs everywhere.
Age and ID: Reminder – entry is 18 and over (www.ticketfairy.com). Bring a valid official ID or passport to be safe. The crowd is mostly young adults (20–30s), so those under 18 will not be admitted even with a parent.
Health & Safety: Club 24 has security at the door and on the floor. Restrooms are on-site and usually well-maintained (www.ticketfairy.com). Drinking water is not free, so stay hydrated between cocktails. In case of emergency, plaster details are posted, and staff is attentive to overcrowding or safety issues. Out of courtesy, consider tipping drinks and practicing respectful behavior on the dance floor.

Does Club 24 allow re-entry if I leave during the event?
This isn’t officially published. Many clubs permit a one-time re-entry within a short window, but policies vary by event.

Ask the staff upon entering if you expect to leave and come back.
