Tbilisi nightlife runs on a later clock than most of Europe. The two big clubs open their doors at 23:59 and keep going until noon or later: Bassiani, in the old swimming pool under Dinamo Arena, and KHIDI, built into the embankment under a bridge. Around them sits a small, close-knit scene of riverside rooms, courtyard parties in Chugureti and wine bars in Sololaki and Vera. A club door usually costs ₾30–50, less before midnight, and a few nights are free. The doors are strict and cameras stay in your pocket. Worth knowing: the metro stops around midnight, just as the clubs open, so almost every night ends with a Bolt.

The night starts when the metro stops. Bassiani and KHIDI open at 23:59, and the metro runs only until about midnight. The rooms fill well after that, and the big nights finish at 11:00 or noon the next day. Arrive by Bolt and plan to leave in daylight.
The door decides, not the ticket. Face control is strict at the techno clubs, and some listings say it outright: at Left Bank an online ticket does not guarantee entry. Photos and video are banned inside Bassiani, Mtkvarze and Left Bank. Come in a small group, bring your passport and do not argue with the door.
The scene is small, and it has a political edge. Police raided Bassiani in May 2018 and arrested its two owners, which led to public demonstrations. Queer nights are part of the core programme, from Horoom and Hydrash at Bassiani to The Drag Ball at Mtkvarze. Since the October 2024 election, anti-government protests have also been held on Rustaveli Avenue, outside Parliament.
Bassiani and KHIDI pair international bookings with a deep bench of Georgian DJs, and a normal Saturday runs for about twelve hours.

Strict, and tighter than they were. A Constitutional Court ruling in 2018 ended criminal punishment of adult cannabis consumption in itself, but public use is fined ₾800–1,200 (about €275–415), and sale, supply and growing are crimes. A law in force since 1 June 2025 raised the penalty for sale to 12 to 20 years or life, and set a fine of ₾500–2,000 (about €170–690) or up to 60 days' detention for small quantities of drugs other than cannabis. Refusing a police drug test carries the same fine or detention. In July 2025 Parliament voted to treat cannabis like other drugs, with up to six years in prison for more than 5 g of dried cannabis. UK government travel advice warns of sentences of 5 to 25 years for possession, use or smuggling. Clubs search guests at the door. Leave anything illegal at home.
