Like Nairobi, Kampala nightlife is a mixture of beautifully dressed women, lounge bars and loud music. Ugandans enjoy going out and the bars and nightclubs in Kampala stay open until morning.
Ugandan deejays, just like their people love promoting their own music and local musicians often show up in the leading clubs where the hobnob freely with their fans.
They say Kampala never sleeps. It is party time all week. However, nightlife in Kampala truly starts around Wednesday which is ladies night when ladies are allowed to go into most clubs for free not to talk about the free wines they sometimes gets treated to.
This happens in most of the happening places like Rock Gardens (Speke Hotel), Club Rouge, Mateos, Steak Out, Club T1, Hi Table and of course the traditional discotheques.
Ugandans like to party and thus there is no shortage of nightspots to let your hair down. The most popular clubs in Kampala are in the old industrial. There is Club Silk, Rouge and Angenoir Mystique, which have been the best attractions in the town. Basically, that is the Westlands of Kampala night life. Here you can plan on staying late and up into the early dawn, as it is known for always providing a good time.
Silk and Ange Noir are relatively close to each other, so if you get tired of one, just take a stroll and jump into the other. There is also Bubbles OLearys, On Acacia Avenue, another popular spot with an authentic-feeling Irish pub.
