A doorman working at Tup Tup Palace was shot on Saturday night (6th June), he is in a stable condition.
The man is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder.
Police are still trying to trace a silver motorbike, used in the shooting.
Superintendent Bruce Storey said: "There are still a number of people who were in the city centre on Saturday night who we have not yet spoken to and I would urge these people to come forward. If anyone saw a silver motorbike in the city or on the outskirts between 10pm and 11pm on Saturday night we want to speak to them. "They may think the information they have is insignificant but it all helps in our enquiries and could prove to be crucial to us in finding the person responsible for this incident. "We are continuing to work with Tup Tup and other licensed premises in the city centre to ensure they are kept up to date and provide reassurance that everything is being done to ensure the city remains a safe place for people enjoying a night out."
