Colombo doesn’t really have any nightlife (that is happening.) For single males there are the usual "male orientated nightlife activities" that is common in Asia (hostess bars and worse) but for women, couples and men seeking a good night out - especially dancing - just forget it. Seen some argument over this matter before so it is relevant to say I have clubbed in Bangkok, KL, Jakarta, Singapore, Vientanne and Indian cities and even little old Vientanne (capital of Laos) is far more exciting than Colombo. There are basically; - Karaoke bars: family type places (ok for a sing along) and the "brothel bars" types with hostesses. Pier 3 is listed as a nightclub BUT is extremely dodgy Tamil hostess bar. Beware of the tourist boards silly books that listed this as a nightclub! - Casinos – as I never gamble not bothered to look in one but they look expensive from the outside! Most are clustered near the Liberty plaza. Balleys and Star Dust are both nearby. - Night clubs - well Blue Leopard (Grand oriental), The Blue (Hilton) and basically a few other hotels have "night clubs". Rather cheesy student nightclub feel and hostesses/hookers (usually) add to the seediness. Even Laos has less seediness than this in the nightlife. - Bars – we’ll Galle Face Hotel bar is worth a drink and even a meal. Best with a group of friends. Other bars are so so yawn……… Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: Colombo 1Directions: Hotels C1 area

Clancey's is a great pub to hang out, with live music 7 days a week from 8pm till 2 am! A must check out the next time you visit Sri Lanka, and is conveniently located in the heart of Colombo! The music ranges from DJ's to live bands playing stuff from the 60's through to today. GREAT!!!! they also have great dinner and snacks!
jeans and shoes and a T Shirt is all you need. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicAddress: Visit directree.lk for moreDirections: Visit directree.lk for more directions, its free!Website: www.directree.lk

Clancy's is located in the cinammon gardens area of Colombo and is modelled after many an Irish Pub. It makes for a relaxing night out and often they have a live band playing there. Check it out.. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicAddress: Colombo 7

I agree that there is NO nightlife outside Colombo in Sri Lanka but in Colombo nightlife sure exists!! You can find a huge number of srilankans clubbing and partying at happening clubs like H20, Nuovo(Onyx),tabu.. RnB in duplication road is good for retro music lovers and its another happening club that gets all crowded late at night.. Clanceys which is an irish pub n restaurant provides good food n good music as well..plus there are many more ways to enjoy your nights in Colombo!!!
Clubs like h20 and Nuvovo - slinky clubwear RnB - a hot top with pants for ladies n even denim jeans are ok 4 both guys or gals Theme: NightclubAddress: sher_ngal@yahoo.comDirections: Colombo

by Maxus What bars there are outside the tourist resorts tend to be exclusively male affairs and can be a little grim, however most villages will have a ‘wine store’ or ‘beer shop’ selling local and occasionally imported beers and spirits for consumption off the premises and assuming your guesthouse doesn't have a bar (Government Rest Houses and the ever-increasing number of wedding halls usually do) your guest house owner probably won’t mind you bring a few beers back for a drink in the evening. Of course your hosts may object on religious grounds, although I've never come across this but either way it’s polite to ask, in some areas (like Kataragama) and on some days, including Poya Day and other religious holidays alcohol is banned but in most cases if you tell the manager what you want during the day and he’ll often offer get it for you.

 The local band by ak47uk There are two main night spots in Hikkaduwa, the Bassline which is open on Friday's and Tuesday's for live music and DJ'S they charge 100Rs if there is a live band, and the Top Secret which is Saturday nights they only charge if there is a live band. Both venues have bars but charge more for drinks so it might be wise to have a few before you get there also at the end of the night the beer gets warm. The music is chart, house and techno with a little reggae thrown in. The night ends at both venues when the last person leaves usually around 6am.
