Nightclubs and bars in Pakistan

Pakistan has very little in the way of nightlife unless you are visiting a big cit then nightlife is al about eating in restaurnats and booking into 5 star hotels and drinking alcohol that has been sold on by customs officers at the airport and bargaining with the waiters in the hotels about the prices of prostitutes that they can get ...a very iffy night scene really be very wary

Nightlife in Islamabad does not kick in until past midnight.
Down at the marriot underground you can enjoy music, dancing and a great crowd. However unlike in other night clubs you can get thrown out of the place for no reason at all. I get this Paki block that walks to me on the dance floor and says "I can get you trown out of this place" and the next thing that comes out of my mouth is "Oh yeah! why dont you try it". All of a sudden there are two bouncers grabbing me by my arm and pulling me towards the door. Once outside I ask the doorman "what is going on?" and he goes "I dont know, why dont you just go home".
And thats the climax of the evening.

There is no night life in the most part of Pakistan, except Islamabad. And even there, everything is finish around 22hrs !
If you are a single man, you can't share spaces with families. If you are a single woman, it's difficult to find public places at night. If you are a family, you can enjoy some time, for example in the Park of Peshawar. But all the meetings, official or not, finish at the same time. Difficult to create a social life with locals when you live there for a long time.

Salut Mes Amis,

At night better to come out in Peshawar and enjoy the night in saddar bazar which is open till late and see the culture and people, doing shopping and busy in their things and you can drink and eat as well at the restaurants.
Or you can wonder in the old city which is also awake till late night.

I welcome you to Pakistan

Dress Code: Better to wear local dress (Shalwar Kamees and shawl for women travellers).

There is no such nightlife as that of western standard. But the view of mountains at night is remarkable...... and in mountains you don't need any other activity in night except watching the mysterious glory of mountains and enjoying the quietness of mysterious nature.

Dress Code: Depends on weather.............

The big cities (Lahore, Karachi) never sleeps in night especially during summer. There are lots of spot in Lahore where you can go any time during night. The famous Food Street, the Lakshmi Chowk, Anarkali, Ichhra, Bhaati and Lohari gate are all open for almost whole night and offer delicious food of every kind.
Every kind of transport (van, rikshaw) is also available till late night.
You can also try theaters of Lahore (Alhamra, Tamaseel, Open air, and many more) or cinema as well.
Lahore has a red light area known as 'shahi mohallah' (behnd the Lahore Fort, inside the walled city). But if you are stranger never go there alone rather go with some local person.

Yes, Pakistan does have some kind of nightlife. This cafe is the meeting point for rich and beautiful young Lahoris and you will even see girls in tight dresses smoking cigarettes. Just like at home, except for one thing : even here they don't sell alcohol.
The music mix here is fun : Beatles, J.Lo and even the Gipsy Kings!

Dress Code: If you're a westerner it doesn't matter what you're wearing. But it would be respectful to dress up a bit, unless you want to be a misfit.

Lol - not many really...but Chitral can prove to be a laugh. Ask for the 'dancing dolls' and see what happens.

When in Lahore go the Old City and you have a choice of two areas, which are not really tourist friendly. You've got the Harree Mandi with the 'dancing girls' and is the famous so-called red light district, if you're into that sort of thing. Or Gul Mandi which has little rooms stacked with hash and opium and I'm sure you can add the rest. A bit tricky for the females these two areas, personally.
Another world.

Dress Code: After 3 years here I think it really doesn't matter what you wear, you'll still be stared at.
