Kathmandu · Nightlife

FIESTA SIDE

Where Kathmandu goes after dark — bars, live music and the late ones worth staying up for.

Purple Haze Rock Bar

Thamel's loudest live rock room: big stage, local bands, heaving on Fridays. Cover is usually under NPR 500 with a drink.

House of Music

The most consistent live calendar in Thamel - rock, jazz, blues and fusion most nights of the week.

Sam's Bar

Tiny long-running rooftop hung with scribbled notes from decades of trekkers. Good for an early, quiet beer.

LOD (Lord of the Drinks)

Multi-floor Thamel club: DJs downstairs, live bands after midnight, rooftop dance floor. The late option.

Reggae Bar

Compact JP Road rock bar with the stage at floor level, cold beer and cheap food. Closes around midnight.
