The Eight sits inside Düsseldorf's city hall, right on the banks of the Rhine, combining a club, an event space and outdoor terraces under one roof. The interior favours a clean, modern look, while the terrace and the adjoining courtyard offer room to spread out. On weekends the venue turns into a club with a rotating line-up; during the week it hosts corporate events, concerts and private parties. Habibi Night is a recurring party here, aimed squarely at a queer crowd and built around open, mixed nightlife rather than a single scene. Sitting just steps from Burgplatz in the old town, The Eight is an easy starting point for a night out in Düsseldorf. Anyone after a riverside terrace by day and a dance floor by night will find both in the same building.
