South Asia :: Sri Lanka :: Night Life

Partying in Sri Lanka :: Casinos, Discos and Night Clubs

Sri Lanka is the location in South Asia with the most active night life. One stretch of Galle Road in Colombo has so many casinos that it resmebles Las Vegas.

No alcohol sales on a full moon day! so buy you beer on the day before.

Gambling is illegal some South Asian countries and Casinos are unheard of. Sri Lanka on the other hand has her fair share even though they are not allowed to call themselves Casinos. So they call themselves clubs but under the hood they are fully fledged casinos that never sleep.

Discos and 'real' Night clubs are a plenty. Until recently most of the activity was at the five star hotels. But lots of watering holes, pool palours and bowling alleys have sprung up all over Colombo in recent years. So hang around till the sun comes up.

Last but not least, alcohol flows very very freely in Sri Lanka. While the sorrounding countries are mostly dry, Sri Lanka has probably the largest per capita consumption of alcohol in the whole of Asia. This is despite ban on it's sale on Full Moon days (A religious holiday). So you better stock up on the day before.
