by jerry13

There's a great club in Colombo at the Hilton Hotel (I thinks it's called the White Elephant).There are no regulations on capacity, so it's packed and stays that way ALL night. Drinks are expensive.Sri Lankan dancers are the best in the world--no kidding. Typical dress is nice, summery clothing. Nothing too fancy, but people look good.

In Colombo, the Hilton Hotel has a good nightclub for dancing...the Raj Hotel has an excellent bar with adjoining restaurant. There are a few nightclubs (but not a lot) to choose from, most of them play western dance music in modern settings.

There was not really a lot of nightlife in Sri Lanka, its not that kind of place. There was the hotel disco which took place once a week on a Friday so everyone made the most it. We had a good laugh and met new friends. Anything goes.

by Reynald2003

Sri Lanka is not a country for the ones who likes to spend all nights dancing. the night clubs are very seldoms.you will maybe find sometimes some kind of clubs in the hotels. your clothes just have to be descents. in temples you have to take off your shoes before going in.a word for west European girls : Topless is PROHIBITED on Sri Lanka beaches !!! Sorry girls ! you will come back with 2 white spots :-)

by Maricelle

Nightlife is usually limited to the big hotels in Colombo. You definitely need to wear shoes, not sandals to get in. The Expatriates also have gatherings every now & then, so check with local embassies such as the US embassy. Believe me, the Marines loved to party. Make sure you wear shoes, not sandals. Some of the hotel dance clubs will not let you in.

Nightlife is Hotel based

by Bevphelan

most of the night life is in the hotel so keep that in mind when booking. Although after a hectic day tripping around the island a drink or two watching the sun go down was all I needed.

Clancys: A Slice of Ireland in Colombo

by curtis-star

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..
