Western culture has made its mark on the nightlife in KL as most nightclubs play dance music from Europe and the US. This means techno and house music. They stay open until midnight and the clubs usually have a cover charge, although this includes a free drink.
A street renowned for its nightlife is Jalan Bukit Bintang which is about ten minutes walking distance from Chinatown. Many of the best bars and nightclubs can be found along this strip. Another is Bangsar, about a ten minute walk from the city centre which is great for people watching and has nearly 50 bars, clubs and restaurants.
If you don’t want to go to a bar or nightclub, but don’t necessarily want to stay in your hostel at night, you should make a trip down to Chinatown. Due to the abundance of restaurants, the streets are always full. Another thing which attracts people in their droves is the night market where there are many bargains to be found.
