There are entertainment plazas that include karaoke, fashion shows, and some venues have
traditional dance performances. Some nightlife venues in Yangon tend to close comparatively
early (between 01:00 or 03:00), but in recent years, closing times are getting later. Entrance fees
to clubs can range from USD $3 to $6, but for clubs in hotels, entrance is free for hotel guests.
Local drinking establishments are called ‘beer stations’. They offer cheaper drinks, but they are
not usually frequented by tourists so you may get some attention when going to a local beer
station, but people are friendly. Drinking is not culturally accepted for women in Burma, and
beer stations are places for local men to drink, talk, and chew betel nut. They close early, around
21:00 or 23:00.
