Bangla Road: Bangla Road is notorious for having the best nightlife in the area. Once the sun sets,this place really comes to life. The 400m street closes to local traffic and is replaced by attractive women, inexpensive beer, loud music, and neon lights. The bars and clubs on Bangla Road compete for customers, and great deals can be found. Some find the loud music defeaning, but visitors can’t beat the shopping, discos, restaurants, pubs, go-go bars, and beer bars if they are looking for the ultimate nighttime party.
