The Ulaanbaatar Palace: Disco in the Capital

by D_Shannon

Claimed, by our guide, to be UB's hottest new dance bar. Decent music and good atmosphere. Huge, lots of dancing. No stripping (unfortunately). There was a cover, but the guys paid and wouldn't tell me how much. Open til dawn. We went straight from 3 nights camping in the desert and no one looked at us askance, so I can only assume there is no dress code in effect. Didn't see anybody in shorts, though.

Mongolian nightclubs

by archan4698

Beer is cheap by western standards, usually Korean(Cass, hite, etc) and varies in quality. By Mongolian standards beer is very expensive. Be sure to ask for "Huu-ten peeve" That means Cold beer, cause they just might serve it warm otherwise. Outside the city it will be warm. After about 12am-1am the night club will usually have a performance, such as a stripper in the dance floor or jugglers. Apparently this is very normal, to have 1-2 women run out all the sudden and do a strip show, then go back to dancing as usual. Anything really, jeans and a t-shirt is fineIf your too dressy up, you might invite too much contact

Changing rail width

by SirRichard

As you enter/exit the country, the train has to change the width of the whhels distance to adapt to the different rails. They did this at night, taking each wagon inside a warehouse and lifting it for a while. Of course, they wake U up in the middle of the night, so looking at the “change of the guard” is a real nightlife activity, LOL

RIVER SOUNDS

by kiwigal_1

At River Sounds you can hear live music played by one of Mongolia's well-known artists. Afterwards there is an excellent DJ who plays music from around the world. It is a very trendy place. Most Mongolian's take a pride in their appearance and would tend to dress nicely to go to a nightclub. It would be a bit too casual to wear shorts I think but I don't know if they have a dress code as such.

VARIOUS CLUBS

by kiwigal_1

FIRE DISCO CLUB, is in Bayangol District on the main road of the third and fourth 'khoroolol'. It is opposite a food market.MONEYTRAIN DISCO CLUB,is on the corner of Durvun Zam (Junction) in a fairly central area.HARD ROCK DISCO CLUBEntrance Fees into the clubs are about 1000 Tugriks per person.Clubs are often changing ownership, going out of business or change in popularity. The best way to check the good places to go is to find the local watering hole of the foreign population who can help you. Alternatively if you want to ask a local then you could ask my homestay hosts. Let me know if you need their contact details for your trip. Dress fairly nicely. Jeans are ok.

If you want a wild night out...

by Tom1971

If you want a wild night out in Ulan Bator, hook up with a few local guys and gals. The manager of a club I went to, the Hollywood club, took me out on the town with a few of his mates. The night involved a few gallons of vodka, a few games of snooker, a visit to every dingy dive in town and an hour in the police cells. All in all good fun, but not for the faint-hearted!

Face Disco Club: A mix of lounge- and discobar with good music!

Folklore

by nepalgoods

In Ulan Bator it is possible to see and hear the local people sing and dance. Very impressive! You should not miss a performance!
