Luang Prabang Nightlife
What to Do at Night in Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is not a destination for those who want to spend their evenings getting messed up and days recuperating from the previous night’s shenanigans. That’s not to say it can’t be fun and as wild as you want to make it.
Luang Prabang is decidedly morning orientated – the majority of the locals are in bed for 22:00, rising at 05:00. Staggering home with last night's clothes on while this is happening is not such a great idea. There are, however, a few small establishments that stay open past midnight where conversation and beer flow in harmony.
Blue Ice Bar
Opened in 2010, Blue Ice is and a "gay friendly" bar slowly becoming popular. It’s a cozy place that has a wonderful view overlooking Nam Khan River. Blue Ice features a bar, dance floor, friendly service as well as a pool table (one of the best in town).
Opening Hours: late afternoon till 23:30Location: Kingkitsarath Road, Ban Watsan, Luang Prabang
Tel: +856 20 7755 9191
Bowling
Open until 03:00, after 22:00 it gets crowded with tourists who are more interested in quenching their thirst than the actual bowling. This place is well worth a visit if you want to have a break from all the usual tourist stuff. The price of a game is 15,000 kip per person until midnight when it goes up to 20,000.
Location: Highway 13, east of junction with Potoupakmao Rd.
Icon Klub
Set in a beautiful white vintage-looking building, Icon Klub is one of those hidden gems you might come across from time to time. It was designed with a 1920s vibe in mind and features both indoor and outdoor seating. Visitors will be pleased with the variety of cocktails and good tunes and can enjoy a game of the chess, cards and dice as well as books of poetry and art. Also check out their regular cinema nights. The small movie room on the second floor seats 13 and comes with big screen and good sound system.

Hive Bar and Restaurant
Playing drum n' bass and hip-hop tunes, this beer garden is popular with the younger crowd of Luang Prabang’s visitors. Although, it does not stay open until the early hours it is definitely one of the towns livelier bars, and a good place to head to if you want to party.
