NIGHTLIFE IN BANGLADESH
For the majority of the population of Bangladesh, saying that a nightlife is non existant is probably a true assesment. Bangladesh is a very Muslim country and locally, the evening’s entertainment will usually come in the form of a visit from family members or something of that nature.
However, for a small local percentage of upper middle class citizens mostly living in Dhaka, nightlife is not only abundant but also quite enjoyable. Places such as the International Club (IC), Privilege, PM Lounge regulary have invite only parties and you will have almost no problems getting in given you are foreign. Tourists from places such as USA, Netharlands, UK, etc will have almost no problems getting something to drink in Dhaka as there are clubs run by citizens of their own nationality.
The most common beers are Heineken and Foster's and can be found in any of the places mentioned above, except PM, which has a BYOB policy). Most restarants will not mind if tourists bring in their own drinks to enjoy with their meals. And lastly, if you find no other alternative and have money to burn, you will find the cities four or five star hotels with fully equiped bars fully fitted with all sorts beverages with exagerated prices to match.
A number of Bangladesh hotels are fully developed to cater for the needs of the average tourist. Besides basic accommodation, they include conference facilities, recreational activities, health services and evening entertainment. You may well be able to find a casino, a disco, a bar or pub and maybe even a movie theatre at one or more hotels. These cater mainly to tourists so you will not find too many locals frequenting these places. If you want to get out and about, you may be able to enjoy an evening meal at one of the fine restaurants. It is a good idea to go early, however, since most restaurants are not open till very late.
A trip to Bangladesh is more about the people and culture of the land than it is about vibrant cities or bustling Bangladesh nightlife. For a bit of local flavour, you might ask your tour operator or tour guide for suggestions on nighttime entertainment. Otherwise, prepare to relax and unwind during your evenings – perhaps choosing to simply unwind in front of your satellite TV or reading a good book. You may be surprised at just how tired haggling at local markets or hiking through a jungle may leave you! A quiet night may be just what the doctor ordered! |
