Yangon Nightlife

What to Do at Night in Yangon

Yangon Nightlife

Enjoying nightlife in Myanmar can be a challenge, as it is almost non-existent. Those who want to experience how the Burmese unwind after the sun goes down have to travel to a major city like Yangon. However, even the nightlife of Yangon is subdued, especially if compared to Western standards. Nonetheless, Yangon has its own set of pubs, clubs, discos and other must-see night-time destinations. While there are independent night-time establishments, most of the clubs and pubs in Yangon are located in five-star hotels.

People can expect more than local beer and good music in every nightspot; the venues that come alive at night also have several traditional dance performances and many fashion shows of locally made haute couture. Unfortunately, the night-life in Yangon ends early at around 01:00 only.

ABC Country Bar

It is possible to enjoy live country-western music in Yangon. Tourists who have a taste for such genre can simply go to ABC Country Bar to listen to live performances of favourite country and western songs by the bar's resident band. This establishment also serves food and features TV screens in the bar.

Location: 404 Mahabandoola Road, Yangon.

Asia Plaza Disco

Asia Plaza Disco is another well-known night-life destination. While it is a discotheque, this favoured night spot has more to offer than just dancing. Aside from organizing traditional dance shows, the people behind Asia Plaza also treat patrons to fashion shows, wherein beautiful models showcase one-of-a-kind collections. People can expect to see haute couture from 22:00 – 01:00

Opening Hours: 19:00 – 01:00
Location: 277 Bogyoke Aung San Road, Kyauktada Township, Yangon.

BME 2

This particular night-life destination draws crowds in with more than just music. While BME 2 is a venue for a superb house music and amazing live performances by rock bands, its kitschy ambiance is enough to gain this nightspot a loyal following. In fact, BME 2 is a frequent hangout of the expatriate community in Yangon.

Club Pioneer

This government-owned establishment, which has been renovated into a disco, is considered as one of the main entertainment destinations in the city centre. Because the place is popular with both locals and tourists, one can often find it packed with people.

Paddy O'Malley's Irish Pub and Sports Bar

The five-star Sedona Hotel Yangon enables both locals and tourists to experience a taste of Ireland in the city of Yangon.
