About Avenida Tulum & Calle Orión Sur
Avenida Tulum & Calle Orión Sur in Tulum is best known as the location of Animal Nightclub – a new rooftop dance club in downtown Tulum’s Centro barrio. This mid-sized, two-story venue (street address Av. Tulum #88) sits above a gelato shop at the busy corner of Av. Tulum and Calle Orión Sur (www.ticketfairy.com). Since its opening in 2022, Animal Nightclub has become one of the town’s premier nightlife spots (www.ticketfairy.com). Its lion-themed branding and wooden, jungle-inspired décor create a “wild” yet polished atmosphere – imagine an open-air tropical patio with neon lights and a high-end sound system. The name “Animal” and the venue’s lion logo hint at this untamed party vibe (www.ticketfairy.com). As a local hangout, Avenida Tulum is already Tulum’s main commercial thoroughfare, and having this rooftop club adds a unique, energetic destination right in the heart of town. The club blends Tulum’s relaxed, bohemian style with modern club luxuries – powerful subwoofers, laser light shows, and a dance floor under the night sky (www.ticketfairy.com). It even has a socially conscious side: a portion of profits goes to local conservation projects, so partiers can help turtle and reef efforts while they dance (www.ticketfairy.com). In short, this corner of Av. Tulum is now notable for a signature nightlife experience – an outdoor rooftop venue that feels like a jungle party in the center of Tulum.
Events and Programming
Animal Nightclub keeps a very full event schedule, especially during Tulum’s high season (roughly November–May). This means almost every night can feature a special party or DJ set (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). Weekends (especially Thursday–Saturday) and festival periods are busiest, but even weeknights often have music into the late hours. The programming is quite diverse to match Tulum’s international crowd. One night might be all techno or tech-house, and the next might be an Afro-Latin or hip-hop party (www.ticketfairy.com). In particular, “Afrobeat Saturdays” have become a weekly staple – DJs play a mix of Afro-Caribbean rhythms, R&B, reggae and hip-hop that keeps everyone dancing (www.ticketfairy.com). They also host recurring events like “Sunday Funday” (Latin/reggaeton style) and midweek “after-hours” parties on Wednesdays into the early morning (www.ticketfairy.com). International guest DJs frequently drop by, especially after Tulum’s festivals: for example, known techno and house artists have played surprise late-night sets here after their main gigs elsewhere (www.ticketfairy.com). Cover charges are generally very reasonable – around MXN$150–300 (about $8–15 USD) for a typical night (www.ticketfairy.com) – which lets people enjoy high-end club production without a huge expense. As a result, Animal attracts a lively mix of locals, expats and tourists, and the dance floor is usually packed once things heat up around 11pm. In short, nearly every evening during season there’s some kind of party to be had at this venue, ranging from local DJs to international sets, covering genres from house and trance to Afrobeat and Latin urban (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).
Tickets and Booking
Because Animal Nightclub is a casual downtown club rather than a seated concert hall, there’s generally no formal advance ticketing. Most nights are walk-in with a cover charge at the door. In practice, this means you can usually just arrive at the club, show your ID (see below) and pay the door fee to enter (www.ticketfairy.com). For big guest DJs or themed events, organizers may release limited tickets or tables in advance, but for a typical night you don’t need to plan weeks ahead – just come by the venue and buy your entry on the spot. It’s wise to check the club’s social media or local event listings a day or two before high-demand nights (like weekends or holidays) for any presale notices. VIP tables and bottle service are a different deal: those are arranged by reservation. To book a table or get on the guest list for a party, you’ll need to contact Animal’s staff in advance (they often share a WhatsApp number or email on flyers and socials) (www.ticketfairy.com). A VIP table reservation generally comes with a required minimum spend on liquor, which could be a few hundred dollars’ worth of bottles (prices still lower than beachfront clubs). To make a reservation, message the club with your date, party size, and any special occasion – the staff will confirm the minimum spend and add you to the VIP list (www.ticketfairy.com). Otherwise, general admission means no reservations needed: just show up at the door. On popular nights it’s smart to arrive early (around 10:00–10:30pm) to avoid lines; by midnight or 1am the door can get busy. (Pro tip: if you do get there quite early, you’ll find the club quiet – it really livens up closer to midnight (www.ticketfairy.com).) Finally, keep in mind that all guests must be 18 or older with valid photo ID – by law this is strictly enforced at Mexican clubs (www.ticketfairy.com).
Seating and Layout
The layout of Animal Nightclub is all about dancing and socializing, not formal seating. The club occupies an upper-floor rooftop space. The dance floor is open and roughly trapezoidal, with the DJ booth/console at one end. There are no stadium-style seats facing the stage – almost everyone stands. Along the edges of the main room are bar-up areas, a few stools and benches, and some roped-off lounge sections. For example, VIP tables on the sides come with wraparound bench seating or sofas, so groups can sit by their bottles. But outside of those reserved areas, seating is very limited: maybe a ledge or two along the wall to perch on. One can expect most people standing or dancing at all times (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). The bars run along one side, and there may be a small balcony/viewing area depending on configuration. In terms of acoustics, there’s a powerful sound system filling the space – expect it to be loud but clear on the dance floor. Lighting is high-tech: the DJ stands in front of a large LED or projection screen (often with neon art), and lasers/fog create a vivid club ambience. Best vantage points are up close to the DJ if you like the big sound and visuals, or to the sides if you want to socialize while still dancing. In general though, any position on the dance floor gives a good view of the party. For a VIP experience, booking a side table gives a comfy viewing spot with personal service. Otherwise, the nature of the club is communal and high-energy, so expect to be on your feet dancing once things get rolling (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).
Getting There and Parking
Location: Animal Nightclub sits right on Av. Tulum in downtown Tulum (colonia Centro). The exact address is Av. Tulum #88, at the corner of Calle Orión Sur (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.tripadvisor.com). You can’t miss the bright “ANIMAL” signage on the building. The entrance is at street level, and the club is on the second floor directly above that corner’s Aldo’s Gelato shop (www.ticketfairy.com). Because it’s in Tulum Pueblo, the venue is just a few blocks off the main hotel zone road, making it very walkable if you’re staying in town.
Driving and Parking: There is no on-site parking lot for Animal Nightclub (www.ticketfairy.com). Street parking can be found along Av. Tulum or on nearby side streets like Orión Sur or Centauro, but spots fill up fast – especially after dark (www.ticketfairy.com). Many curb spaces downtown have paid meters or are reserved (some stretches are “no parking” or taxi zones), so watch signage carefully. A couple of small paid lots and garages are located within a 3–5 minute walk; these typically charge by the hour or night (www.ticketfairy.com). If you do drive, plan to park a couple blocks away and walk, or use those central lots. In practice, most locals recommend taking a cab or rideshare instead of dealing with downtown parking hassles (www.ticketfairy.com). Taxis/Moto-taxis commonly wait along Avenida Tulum at night. Ridesharing apps (Uber, DiDi) and local taxi apps also work in Tulum. If arriving from the airport area or Cancun, rental cars and taxis usually drop off on Av. Tulum right in front of the club.
Public Transit: Tulum Centro is well-served by taxis and shared vans (“colectivos”). The ADO bus terminal (for regional buses like Cancun–Tulum) is a short distance away (on Carretera Tulum-Cobá, about 15 minutes’ walk or a 5-minute cab ride). Riders arriving by ADO or colectivo can easily walk to the club or hop a short taxi. Colectivo vans run regularly along Av. Tulum connecting downtown with nearby areas (Playa del Carmen, other hotels, etc.) – just wave one down. By air, note that the new Tulum International Airport (opened 2023) is about 20 minutes’ drive north, and now has flights from Mexico City (apnews.com). From Cancún Airport (120 km away), you can take an ADO bus or shuttle to Tulum Pueblo, then a taxi the last mile. In summary: the club is very centrally located – most visitors either walk, bike (bike rentals are popular), or take a taxi/colectivo to within a block or two of the corner.
Inside the Venue
Entry & Security: Expect a casual but secure entry. Patrons queue at street level and go through a quick ID check (18+ only) (www.ticketfairy.com). IDs are scanned or noted at the door. Bags may be inspected by security. Once you’re up the stairs, there are vending staff and a cloak/hat check stand, though an actual coat-check counter is not formal – you’ll want to travel light. Bulky items are discouraged; the doorman might hold large bags or jackets behind the desk as a courtesy (but it’s not guaranteed) (www.ticketfairy.com). In practice guests typically bring just a phone, wallet and perhaps a small purse. Men often keep keys and ID in front pockets (some choose to carry minimal cash too).
Atmosphere and Crowd: Inside, the vibe is energetic and friendly. People from all over (Mexican locals, expats and foreign tourists) mingle and dance on the single open floor (www.ticketfairy.com). Even though it’s an “urban” club, the decor and crowd feel more relaxed than a typical city nightclub – you’ll likely hear multiple languages and see vibrant streetwear alongside beach-chic outfits. A helpful note: dress tends to be casual-cool. Many patrons wear linen or cotton clothing, sundresses, stylish shorts and breathable shirts – almost like resort wear. Comfortable closed-toe shoes or sandals are popular since people dance a lot. While the scene is laid-back (flip-flops are occasionally seen), most people avoid bare flip-flops on the crowded dancefloor for safety (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no formal dress code, but looking neat and avoiding overly beachy attire is wise (www.ticketfairy.com). Overall, expect a warm, humid evening (Tulum’s climate means it stays balmy at night) – so when moving to the beat, you’ll likely want light clothing.
Bars and Drinks: The club features a full bar or two, usually along one wall. Drink menu includes the usual range: basic cocktails (rum/tequila/vodka mixed drinks or margaritas), bottled and draft beers (Mexican and imports), shots and house punches. Given Tulum’s crowd, you might also find craft cocktails with mezcal and fresh fruit juices. Prices are moderate by nightclub standards – for example, expect mixed drinks around MXN$120–150 and beers about MXN$80–100 (www.ticketfairy.com) (roughly $6–8 USD for a cocktail, $4–5 USD for a beer). These are quite reasonable compared to Tulum’s high with-beach prices. Card payments are accepted at the bar (Visa/MasterCard reliably, sometimes AmEx) and even at the door charge (www.ticketfairy.com). Most people open a tab: bartenders will hold your credit card (and often your ID) sample as security while you order drinks (www.ticketfairy.com). Tipping bartenders and the occasional table attendant (about 10-20%) is customary in Mexico for good service. Notably, Animal also offers hookah (shisha) service as a special amenity. You can order a hookah to your booth or table from the bar and choose from tobacco flavors – it’s popular for groups lounging in the VIP sections (www.ticketfairy.com). In short, alcohol and hookah are readily available, but no food is sold – it’s a drinks-and-dance-only environment.
Facilities: The venue has basic club facilities. Restrooms are located on the upper floor (usually at the back or side of the room). They are smaller in size (standard for nightclubs) and are cleaned regularly during the night. You may find an attendant managing them; leaving a peso or two as a tip for towels is common courtesy (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no formal coat or item check beyond the informal door-hold, so keep belongings minimal. There’s no coatroom or locker. DJs and speakers: The DJ booth is on the main level facing the dancefloor, often backed by a big LED screen or neon art piece (www.ticketfairy.com). The powerful stacked speaker arrays ensure the sound reaches every corner. Cell phone reception is generally good (Tulum’s downtown has coverage), but don’t rely on the venue for Wi-Fi or charging stations – bring a portable charger if you need it. Finally, security is discreet but vigilant (coupled with Tulum’s safe reputation, this means you can dance worry-free).
Nearby Amenities
Food & Dining: Avenida Tulum is lined with restaurants, so pre- or post-party dining is very convenient. For example, within a block of Animal you’ll find La Hoja Verde (a popular vegetarian/vegan eatery at Av. Tulum & Calle Beta Sur) and La Guarida (another vegan-friendly spot at Orion Sur & Andrómeda) (proyectoflorentine.com). These serve healthy bowls, smoothies, tacos and plant-based fare. If you want more classic Mexican or casual snacks, there are taquerias, tortillerias and pizza spots on the main strip (look a block either way on Av. Tulum for pizza and burger joints). Even cheap street food carts often stay open late close to the club – ideal for midnight tacos or elotes. Craving something upscale? A few doors down on (Avenida Tulum you have *Sale e Pepe* (Italian) and *Sale e Pepito* (seafood). No matter your taste, it’s easy to grab a bite within walking distance.
Bars and Nights Out: Many bars and clubs line Av. Tulum, so Animal is part of a larger nightlife corridor. Some popular neighbors include Bohemia Tulum (a late-night bar/club), Posada Margarita hostel’s rooftop bar, and Magic Blue Tulum (a multi-level blueprint club). These can be suitable for pre-cocktails or after-party hopping. Street parking and taxis cluster around here after hours. If Animal’s lineup isn’t your style (or if it ends early), you can continue the night at one of these nearby venues. однако, Animal’s roof often wins for full-on dancing.
Hotels and Lodging: Tulum Centro has numerous hotels and hostels within 5–10 minutes’ walk. Notably, Casa Santiago and La Quinta Playa are just a few blocks north. Budget travelers often stay at hostels like Posada 06 Tulum. High-end boutique hotels have also opened on nearby side streets. Because downtown is compact, you can easily walk or take a very short taxi ride back to almost any hotel in Centro. (Beach-zone resorts are farther north by highway.)
Other Services: Convenience stores (Oxxo) and ATMs are common along Av. Tulum. If you need cash before entering, there’s an ATM at a corner store two blocks east. Many people recommend exchanging or withdrawing pesos ahead of time, since the bar will take cards but smaller purchases and taxi tips are easier with cash. In case you need a post-party pastry or coffee, some cafes on Av. Tulum are open late.
What Makes This Venue Special
Animal Nightclub stands out for several reasons. First, its rooftop, open-air setting is rare in town – very few Tulum clubs have you partying with the rain above or stars overhead (www.ticketfairy.com). You literally feel the breeze as you dance, which gives a unique “jungle disco” vibe unlike any windowless bar. Second, it brought big-city club culture into Tulum Centro. Before Animal, most nightlife was either beach clubs or small bars. By anchoring a professional dance club downtown, Animal helped make Tulum Pueblo a nightlife destination too (www.ticketfairy.com). This spreads the evening economy deeper into town, so local shops and restaurants benefit when guests come for the night. The venue’s polished production (lasers, LED visuals, top sound gear and international DJs) is above-and-beyond for Tulum, so partygoers love the combination of a high-energy urban club experience with the casual island town style (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). Finally, on a cultural note, Animal Nightclub has quickly earned a reputation as “Tulum’s flagship club.” It often appears as #1 on nightlife lists and draws crowds that might otherwise disappear after beach bars close. In some ways it’s a modern symbol of Tulum’s nightlife boom – mixing the hippie ethos with a club mentality and even giving back to the environment (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). All of this makes Avenida Tulum & Calle Orión Sur more than just an intersection – it’s a landmark spot where the town comes together to dance.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: Note that Animal Nightclub is on the second floor with stair access only (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no elevator, so wheelchair users and those with mobility issues will have difficulty entering (www.ticketfairy.com). Likewise, the restrooms are not wheelchair-accessible or specially equipped (www.ticketfairy.com). If you need assistance reaching the second floor, it’s wise to call ahead; staff sometimes help carry a wheelchair up stairs, but this is not guaranteed. Otherwise, parents with strollers or older patrons should use caution.
What to Bring: Pack light and behave like you would in any club. Bring only essentials: your ID, a small wallet or some cash (in pesos) and maybe a mobile phone. Keep valuables on you at all times (there’s no secure cloakroom). It’s a club environment, so big backpacks are a bad idea. If you have any Halloween-costume-style items, check in advance whether organizers allow them. People often carry skull scarves or glowsticks voluntarily on theme nights, but props like bottles or confetti can be confiscated.
Dress and Shoes: The dress code is easy – smart-casual. Think “nice beach party wear.” For men, a button-down linen shirt or a clean polo with shorts or trousers is common. For women, sundresses, rompers or jumpsuits are typical. A small jacket or wrap might be useful if the season is “winter” (it can get a bit cool when the roof is open and there’s wind). As mentioned, comfortable shoes are a must. Many guests wear canvas sneakers, loafers or leather sandals. Avoid flip-flops if you plan to really dance – they offer little protection in a crowded room (www.ticketfairy.com). In general the vibe is relaxed but neat. You will not see tuxedos or evening gowns; just look like you’re out for a fun night rather than a day on the beach.
Time to Arrive: Doors usually open around 9 or 10pm, but the party takes time to fill. Locals often don’t show up en masse until 11pm or later. If you want a more laid-back experience with fewer crowds, arriving soon after 10pm can work – early arrival means shorter waits and more room on the floor. By 11:30–12:00, the club ramps up and lines may form at the entrance. If aiming for a very packed peak-night atmosphere, align your arrival with late-night happy hours or entertainment next door – just remember it stays busy until 3–4am (the usual close time) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).
Do’s and Don’ts: Do bring your ID – staff will check it. Do pace your drinking (the bar staff won’t forbid entering drunk, but safety-wise it’s smart to stay hydrated). Do tip your servers if you sit at a table or get bottle service; bartenders at Mexican clubs generally expect a small tip per drink. Don’t bring prohibited items: outside alcohol/food is not allowed. Don’t flash lasers or shine lights at the DJ or crowd. Don’t try to re-enter if you step outside – like most clubs, once you leave it’s tough to get back in without another cover. Don’t leave personal items unattended – pockets can get pickpocketed in any busy club, so consider a money belt or front pocket for valuables.
Other Tips: Keep an eye on announcements – sometimes Animal sponsors special theme nights or guest lists through local events groups. If celebrating a birthday or occasion, mention it when booking a table; they often do small extras like sparklers on the bottle or shout-outs (www.ticketfairy.com). For transportation home: policies on third-party apps vary. At 3–4am, local taxis queue up, but it can be long, so arrange a ride beforehand if you can. Finally, enjoy the night! This venue is meant to be a fun, safe environment – staff and the mostly-friendly crowd encourage having a good time and leaving with memorable stories (in a positive way).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact address of Animal Nightclub?
Animal Nightclub is located at Avenida Tulum #88, at the corner of Calle Orión Sur in downtown Tulum (Centro). It’s on the second floor above Aldo’s Gelato. TripAdvisor confirms the address as “Av. Tulum 88, Downtown Tulum, Tulum 77780, Mexico” (www.tripadvisor.com).
What transportation and parking options are there?
The club is on Av. Tulum in town, so it’s easy to reach by walking or taxi. There is no official parking lot at the venue (www.ticketfairy.com). Street parking on Av. Tulum or Orion Sur is very limited and often full (www.ticketfairy.com). You can try nearby paid lots (a few within 5 minutes’ walk charge hourly) (www.ticketfairy.com) or use taxis/rideshares (recommended). Colectivo vans and buses run along Av. Tulum from the bus station and Playa del Carmen. In practice, most visitors take a taxi or Uber/DIDI to the corner and walk the last block due to scarce downtown parking (www.ticketfairy.com).
How much does it cost to get in?
On normal nights, expect a cover charge of roughly MXN $150–300 (about $10–15 USD). Ticket Fairy notes a common cover of around 200 pesos (www.ticketfairy.com). You pay at the door in cash (pesos) or card. No advance purchase is needed for typical nights – just arrive and pay. If there’s a big guest DJ, some presale tickets might exist, but usually it’s just general admission at the entry.
Can I buy tickets or reserve a table in advance?
For regular nights, you don’t need to buy tickets ahead – walk up to the club and pay the cover at the door (www.ticketfairy.com). For special events or famous DJs, organizers may release limited tickets online, but that’s rare. To reserve a VIP table (bottle service), you should contact the club ahead via their listed phone or WhatsApp. Animal’s staff will require a minimum spend for the table (often a few hundred dollars in bottles) and will add your name to the reservation list (www.ticketfairy.com). Otherwise, all other entry is door-by-door.
What is the dress code at Animal Nightclub?
The dress code is very relaxed and beach-casual (www.ticketfairy.com). You won’t see formal attire – instead wear smart-casual resort-style clothes. For example, men often wear a nice shirt (linen or cotton) with shorts or pants; women wear sundresses, skirts or dressy tops with shorts. Comfortable shoes are a must. Sandals or sneakers are fine, but regular flip-flops or bare feet are discouraged (closed-toe or secure sandals are safer on a packed dance floor). In short, just look pulled-together but ready to dance – Animal’s vibe is “tropical party wear” (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).
Are there any age restrictions?
Yes. The club is strictly 18 years and older (www.ticketfairy.com). Mexican law sets 18+ as the minimum age for nightclub entry and alcohol service, and Animal Nightclub enforces this. Foreign guests should have legal photo ID or passport as proof of age. (No minors or “guest of a guest” under 18 are allowed inside.)
What seating and viewing options are available?
The club is primarily standing-room. There are no fixed seats facing the stage. A few benches, bar stools and padded ledges line the walls, but they fill up fast (www.ticketfairy.com). The bulk of the space is open, so most guests will be on their feet dancing. If you want a guaranteed seat and privacy, reserve a VIP table: those come with bench/sofa seating around a high table near the perimeter (www.ticketfairy.com). Otherwise, the best general areas are near the center of the dance floor or leaning against the bar. Regardless of where you stand, the powerful sound system and lighting ensure a great view/hearing almost anywhere on the floor.
Is there a coat check or locker area?
No. There is no official cloakroom or locker. You are expected to keep your belongings with you. As mentioned, staff at the front *may* hold a large coat or bag at their discretion (behind the entrance desk) if you ask (www.ticketfairy.com), but it isn’t guaranteed storage. The venue suggests coming with minimal extras. Small wallets or purses are fine, but avoid bringing bulky items. Plan to carry all valuables on your person.
Are restrooms available?
Yes, there are restrooms on-site (upstairs, usually towards the back corner). They are fairly small – just a few stalls – but they are cleaned regularly. There is often an attendant to hand out towels or fix issues. It’s customary to tip the attendant a small amount (a few pesos) when you use the facilities (www.ticketfairy.com). During peak hours there may be a short wait, so plan accordingly.
Is there food served at the venue?
No, Animal Nightclub does not serve food. It is strictly a drinks-and-dancing venue. The bar serves alcohol and some simple mixers (juice, soda), but no kitchen meals or snacks are sold on site. You should eat dinner before coming, or visit one of the many nearby restaurants on Av. Tulum (see nearby amenities above (proyectoflorentine.com)) if you get hungry.
Can I bring a camera or record videos?
Generally, casual photography with phones is fine (many guests do videotape parts of the party). Professional camera equipment (large lenses, tripods, action cameras) is usually not allowed without permission. It’s best to assume no big camera setups. Also, respect the DJs and other guests: avoid blinding strobes or flash at the stage, and follow any staff instructions. In short: smartphones for selfies and short clips are OK; anything professional should be cleared with management first.
Is smoking allowed inside Animal Nightclub?
Yes, smoking is generally allowed in the open-air areas. Because the club is an outdoor rooftop venue, indoor smoking bans do not apply as strictly. You will see guests smoking cigarettes or cigars on the dance floor or by the bar. However, as a courtesy to others, avoid heavy secondhand smoke; the outdoor breeze helps dissipate it. (Be aware that handling open flames with sand or decorations around should be done carefully.)
What time does the club open and close?
Animal Nightclub typically opens around 9:00 or 10:00 PM and goes until about 3:00–4:00 AM (www.ticketfairy.com). They may open nightly at 9pm (sometimes 10pm). The busiest nights are Wednesday through Saturday, when the place is clearly active all night (www.ticketfairy.com). During high season and festival periods, you can expect it to be rocking almost every night. If you go early (around opening time), it will be mostly empty; the club fills up by 11–12 midnight.
What kind of music is played at Animal Nightclub?
The musical style varies from night to night. You’ll frequently hear electronic dance music: house, tech-house, techno and deep house are common, especially on weeknights or when international DJs play. On other nights they switch it up with urban genres: afrobeats, hip hop, R&B, reggae and Latin rhythms are popular for dance parties. In other words, be ready for both big EDM sets and party-friendly tracks. The volume is loud, so expect club-thumping bass regardless of genre.
Are VIP tables or bottle service available?
Yes. Animal Nightclub offers VIP table service for groups who want a private seating area. The sides of the venue have reserved sections with sofas or high tables (www.ticketfairy.com). To get a VIP table, you must book in advance (as discussed above) and commit to a minimum spend. In return you get a dedicated space and bottle service (with mixers, ice, etc.). For special occasions (birthdays, etc.), the club often adds small touches like sparklers or shout-outs to your table (www.ticketfairy.com).
Is Animal Nightclub wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, no. Animal Nightclub is located on a second-floor rooftop with only stair access, and there is no elevator (www.ticketfairy.com). As a result, wheelchair users and others with mobility issues cannot easily enter the club. The interior is one level and open once upstairs, but due to the stairs and potential crowds, the venue is not ADA-compliant. If you require assistance, it’s best to call the club in advance to see if staff can help carry you or your wheelchair up the steps (www.ticketfairy.com).
How are the drink prices and can I pay with card?
Drink prices are in line with typical nightclub rates. Expect most cocktails to be around MXN$120–180 each (about $7–10 USD) (www.ticketfairy.com). A beer is roughly MXN$80–100. These prices are somewhat lower than similar offerings on Tulum’s beach clubs. Animal accepts major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard) at the bar and for cover (www.ticketfairy.com). They often do hold your card to open a tab, so have at least one card ready. (American Express may not always be accepted, so it helps to have a Visa or MasterCard handy.)
