Nightlife:

Kathmandu is not renowned for its nightlife but most visitors will find something to do to pass a pleasant evening. Night birds will have a hard time though as, by law, all music in public places has to be turned off by 2200. However, entertainment does go on after 2200 in the Thamel area. There are entertainment listings sections in both the Kathmandu Post and The Himalayan Times newspapers (website: www.thehimalayantimes.com).

Bars are concentrated in Thamel. Try Pub Maya, Paddy Foley’s Irish Bar, Rum Doodle Bar, or J-Bar. Also worth checking out is the Absolute Bar in Narayani Complex, Patan.

Casinos are very popular in Kathmandu (website: www.casinosnepal.com) and there are several in the city, many being attached to large hotels.

Popular clubs include the Underground Bar in Thamel and the Galaxy Disco at the Everest Hotel in New Baneshwor (website: www.everesthotel.com.np).

The New Orleans Café in Thamel is a good venue for live music. So is the Rox Bar at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Taragaon, Boudha (website: www.kathmandu.regency.hyatt.com).
