- How much it costs to go out depends on what city you're in.
- HomeToGo recently released a report on the best cities for nightlife around the world.
- From Miami to Ibiza, they looked at the average cost of cover, one beer, one drink, and one shot.
- Warsaw, Poland, has the most affordable nightlife in Europe, while Perth is the most affordable city in Australia to go out.
If you think your bank account looks a little sad after a night out, you're not alone.
The average event-goer spends $81 on a night out and goes out two nights a week, according to an Eventbrite report. That's $162 a week - more than the weekly median spending on food for American families.
Yet, how much it costs to go out depends on where you decide to hit the dance floor. That $81 can hike up real fast if you're in a notoriously expensive and popular party destination like Ibiza, Spain, but may become more wallet friendly if you're in a city with a lower cost of living, like São Paulo, Brazil.
It's best to do your research before you go out or plan your vacation based on a city's nightlife.
Luckily, HomeToGo recently released a report on the best cities for nightlife around the world. After narrowing it down to 50 cities based on the number of venues, number of events listed, and quality of events based on online ratings, they contacted the five top-rated clubs in each city to find out each clubs' cover charge and drink prices.
Based on that data, HomeToGo calculated each city's average for the cover charge on a Saturday night, price of a 12-ounce domestically produced beer, price of one regular gin and tonic, and price of a one-ounce shot of vodka.
Turns out, Warsaw, Poland, is the most affordable city in Europe to go out, Perth is the most affordable Australian city to party, and Calgary, Canada, has the most affordable nightlife in the Americas.
