The appeal of having your very own Nightclub in GTA Online has to be absolutely palpable, which is why many often flock to the property right off the bat, but is it worth it? The game throws plenty of opportunities towards the players' way to make a whole ton of cash in GTA Online, but the challenge is to sort through the litter. Show
Players can make just about any business worth it in GTA Online, but the trick is to be efficient with one's time and money. For instance, a Document Forgery business will net the player some amount of profit over time, but it will be a lot of grinding before they can see any results. Similarly, a Nightclub isn't exactly the most lucrative property by itself, but when it is used in tandem with other businesses, it is pure gold. Nightclubs in GTA Online, are they worth it?The Nightclub by itself will make a little bit of cash, and players can try and boost the club's popularity in order to increase the Nightclub revenue. The revenue is deposited in the player's safe in their office. This amount is only minimal and won't help all that much in recovering the cost of the acquisition. To truly make the Nightclub a lucrative property in GTA Online, players will need some upgrades and a storage facility in the Nightclub. Players can acquire storage when purchasing the Nightclub or by simply renovating it through the Maze Bank Foreclosures website. The best business to get started with and use with the Nightclub is the Cocaine Lockup from the MC Business. To starta Cocaine Lockup business in GTA Online, simply follow these steps:
After that point, the Cocaine Lockup can begin production at the player's request, after which they will be able to complete sell missions. To use the Nightclub for the business, simply follow these steps:
This way, players will be able to replenish their stock in the Nightclub hourly in GTA Online, allowing them to sell more products in public sessions. If the player purchases equipment upgrades, they will be able to double their output in the Nightclub in GTA Online.

This is the ultimate Nightclub Money Guide (summarized Video) for running the nightclub business in GTA Online, updated to 2022, and explained in a simple way along with some helpful tips and tricks that even veteran players may not be aware of. Nightclubs were released in GTA Online as part of the After Hours DLC back in July 2018. And 4 years later the payouts for Nightclub business activities were increased in 2022 after the Expanded and Enhanced version of the GTAV/O was released on the Next generation of consoles. This updated Nightclub Money Guide for GTA Online will provide a very simple step-by-step procedure to allow players to make the best use of it and make millions in the process. The idea behind Nightclub was to allow players to make passive income that is solo friendly. Earlier iterations of passive money-making in GTA Online like Biker Businesses and Gunrunning Bunkers weren't as Solo friendly, and Nightclub gave that option to players. Is Nightclub a Good Starting Business?Contrary to popular belief, Yes. Due to the updates released in March/April 2022, the money-making meta of passive income in GTA Online has changed a lot more than anticipated. Believe it or not, making passive income from simply changing DJs once every 2 in-game days is more profitable (per hour) than selling your Nightclub Warehouse for approximately 1 million every 20 real-life hours (or 25 in-game days), which also involves:
This does NOT mean that Nightclub Warehouse's passive income is bad. It is actually better than it was before as each of the Biker businesses received an increase of 35% in sale values for the Nightclub warehouse. However, new players can buy a Nightclub and still make good money without owning other businesses. In a nutshell, Yes, Nightclub is one of the best (if not the best) "starting" businesses in the game. This is because non-warehouse activities can be conducted in private sessions and almost no initial capital investment is required. Step 1: Buying Nightclub & Choosing LocationSo if you are a new player who is just starting out or you are short on cash and don't own a lot of the businesses, I would recommend buying the stock Nightclub and buy only the Staff upgrade after you complete its setup (Ignore Equipment and Security upgrades for now. They are explained later in the guide). You can renovate your Nightclub later and buy other upgrades at a later time as well so no need to rush yourself with upgrades. As for the location, most Nightclubs are pretty decent. I would recommend avoiding LSIA, Elysian Island, and Cypress Flats as they are at the very bottom and only some missions take place within the city and those too near the southern part of Los Santos. And since you will be selling in a Public session, you want minimum travel time from the Nightclub to your delivery location to avoid other players coming after you. Two Nightclubs in Vinewood (West Vinewood and Downtown Vinewood) have very good locations as per different drop-off locations if you are willing to spend a little extra. If you own an Arcade with MCT (Master Control Terminal) then try to get a Nightclub near it as you can launch the sell mission from there as well and quickly get inside the sell mission vehicle. NOTE: Until your organization or club enters the Mission Sell Vehicles, the global timer doesn't start and the vehicle itself is invincible. So they are safe from griefing till that point. Step 2: Setting Up & Buying UpgradesAfter you buy and visit the Nightclub, you will be required to complete 3 setup missions, before you can start making money:
You can check out the complete Video Walkthrough of setting up the Nightclub for reference. Once all missions are completed, your nightclub will be fully operational and interactive. There are 3 more Resident DJs that can be acquired, but each costs $100k for the first time and you will receive instant maximum (100%) popularity. You can later change them for $10k and receive a 10% increase in popularity. So if you have limited funds, you can just get one more DJ and swap between those two. This is explained in the next section.
Step 3: Making Money with the NightclubThe Nightclub essentially consists of 2 portions. The upper area is where you have DJs playing music and based on the popularity you make a certain amount of cash every in-game day. The lower area is where your technicians accrue goods in the basement, which can be sold at any time. There are main two sources of income from your Nightclub: 1. PopularityThere is a purple bar at the bottom right indicating the current popularity whenever you are in your office. And your Nightclub produces income every day based on the current popularity level. This income can be collected from the hidden safe in your office room. Popularity can be increased in 2 ways: a) Swapping DJs:You can change your Resident DJ for a cost of $10,000 and receive an increase of 10% in popularity instantly. If you have bought the Staff upgrade, your popularity drops by 5% every in-game day. So when it is at 90%, you can just change Resident DJ and get max popularity again. Moreover, even at 95% popularity, you will still receive $50,000. So in a nutshell, you will make a $90,000 profit every 2 in-game days. Or $56,250/hour for almost no effort (As mentioned earlier, acquiring the DJs, for the first time includes a fee of 100k and a setup mission, but after that, it's just a press of a button). Moreover, if you use the computer at any of the Basement Levels or the Master Control Terminal in your Arcade, then you will not get any cut scenes and the increase in popularity will be instant which is pretty handy if you want to save some time. b) Promotion Missions:You can start a promotion mission under the "Nightclub Management" Tab. Completing this mission will grant you a 25% increase in popularity and some petty cash ($1000 to $5000 depending on the time spent on a mission). These are straightforward missions and can be completed from 3 to 10 minutes based on the type of mission and location. 2. Selling Warehouse GoodsUpon logging in to the Nightclub computer the home screen shows you the product level of each category in your warehouse. Under the "Warehouse Management" Tab, you will see 7 types of goods (if the corresponding Businesses are bought, set up, and are online) and 5 Technicians (if bought): The following 7 Types of Goods are associated with the following businesses:
And since there are only 5 technicians, for best profitability, you should assign them to the best 5 goods (the first 5 listed above). Below are the production numbers if interested: When to sell Nightclub Stock?You will notice that the 3 types of goods, Coke (South American imports), Meth (Pharmaceutical Research), and Cash (Cash Creation) cannot be accrued after 20 hours. At that point, you should sell your Nightclub stock. This can obviously change if you participate in Business Battles and/or sell special orders. So you can make your technicians accrue the other types of goods based on your own better judgment. Upon making the sale, Tony will take 10% of your warehouse earnings (up to $100,000). NOTE: This activity can ONLY be completed in a Public session. Step 4: Nightclub Sell MissionsArguably the hardest part of managing a Nightclub is selling the warehouse goods because these sell missions can only be conducted in a Public Session. Even though there are methods to get a Solo Public session (for Xbox, the method is not trivial anymore), we will still list out tips to help players with earning the cash if they choose to do so. Following are the tips for selling your Nightclub Warehouse in a Public Session: 1. Ghost OrganizationVIPs and CEOs (not Motorcycle Club President) can use the Ghost Organization feature to hide all players of your Organization and the Sell Vehicle(s) being driven, from the other players on their map. This ability only lasts for 3 minutes so only use it when you see any player coming towards you in a Jet or you see players using their own Ghost Org or they start going Off The Radar. Off The Radar does not hide the Sell Vehicle you are in so players will still be able to see you on the map. BUT, it will prevent players from Auto Targeting you with the Orbital Cannon (Do not assume people won't use it just because it costs 750k). You can use it by selecting Securoserv VIP/CEO > VIP/CEO Abilities > VIP/CEO Abilities > Ghost Organization. 2. Sell in small/free-aim/quieter sessionsLesser the players, the lesser the chance of players coming after you. You can also change your "Targeting Mode" to Free Aim. Another thing to look for is if you see a lot of players are inside properties in the session and/or not a lot of activity is going on in the session. Obviously, this doesn't eliminate the possibility of your sell mission getting attacked by other players, but it reduces it a lot. 3. Upgrading Sell VehiclesYou can go to the Basement Storage of your Nightclub and modify your vehicles (whichever bought). I would recommend buying maximum armor and performance upgrades for all your vehicles. We have a Vehicle Armor Guide with information on their armor stats. And we have tested all the armor plating options for the Speedo Custom as reference. Feel free to check them out. NOTE: If you can avoid it then don't buy the "Remote Grenade Launcher" and "Remote Missile Battery" of Pounder Custom because there are certain bridges in the path of some sell missions that prevent this vehicle from passing through. 4. Close Application If Nightclub Goods DestroyedIf your Sell Vehicle is destroyed or is about to get destroyed, immediately close the application. You will lose only up to 10% of your Nightclub stock but it's better than losing all the stock. Of course, this isn't the intended way to play the game, but Rockstar refuses to balance the PvP meta, and you are left with an Off The Radar Thermal Jet destroying your Nightclub goods with just 2 Explosive Cannon strafes in a matter of 10 seconds. Even though the Nightclub Sell Vehicles cannot be locked onto (unlike Biker or Bunker), they are still vulnerable to Explosive damage, the most prominent being the Explosive Cannons because of how easy it is to get the splash damage on vehicles by simply spraying down the road. 5. Ambush Nightclub Mission TrickThis mission can actually be completed without actually going to the intended location. I have shown 2 samples of the mission in the video so feel free to check them out. There are 3 such locations and sometimes hard to remember so feel free to play the mission as intended. Kill the undercover cops first and then call Lester to get rid of the wanted level. 6. Cargobob Lift TipArguably the most annoying mission. Especially if you get this mission with a Pounder or Mule Custom. Instead of moving forward, you should pull back to make sure you do not lose altitude. Business BattlesBusiness Battles are free-mode events that spawn with a cooldown of 15 minutes whenever there are a certain (usually at least 3) number of players registered as CEO/VIP/MCP outside the structures. These are strictly PvP activities so play them at your own risk. However, these missions can also spawn in Private sessions, so these can side little fun activities if you have friends to play with in Private Sessions. Nightclub RaidsExtremely rare for Nightclubs, raids are still a part of Nightclubs. There are two types: 1. Popularity Raids:Extremely rare but in case you do get them, it's pretty easy to complete. Failing the mission will only reduce its popularity. 2. Warehouse Raids:If you have more than 20% Warehouse Stock (40% if Security Upgrade was bought) for more than 4 hours (8 hours if Security Upgrade was bought) then there is a chance to get this raid. NOTE: These numbers have been provided by Rockstar support. If you fail this mission then you lose your warehouse stock. These raids can obviously be avoided by doing a promotion mission or a sell mission or just not registering as CEO/VIP/MCP outside the business. Bugs & GlitchesThe most common issue players see is where one or more of their technicians stop accruing goods for one or more of your businesses. And upon checking "sometimes" the option to select the goods is locked. And there is usually no way to actually prevent this issue. These bugs can occur at any time and the only way to know this is by checking your computer. However, there are some solutions that I can share:
Changing or Moving NightclubWhen you want to change or move your nightclub, you will have to pay the cost of the nightclub minus the 50% rebate value you get from your previous purchase. You will retain the purchase of garage floors, warehouse levels, and your technicians. Everything else needs to be bought again. Video: Ultimate Nightclub Money Guide for GTA Online
