A mosque - no beer near here then!

After hours in Dhaka

Bangladesh is a Muslim country so when you ask "where's the pub?" you're likely to get a rather puzzled look. There is no real nightlife in Dhaka - what little there is centres around hanging out in a fast food joint, going for a meal, or talking to guys on the street.

Illicit alcohol can of course be obtained but only if you know where to look (if you're in a decent hotel then the bell boy's always worth a try). Some of the top hotels are allowed to serve alcohol to foreigners. Dhaka isn't the safest city in the world so be careful where you wander and who you talk to after dark. Like most places, there is an expat scene with occasional parties and plenty of drinking, but to be honest, most tourists in town have an early night.
