Nightlife

Notable Nightlife

The Loft is our current Notable Nightlife due to it's friendly staff, great views of Sabah's spectacular sunsets and, for the Waterfront at least, its reasonable prices.

Kota Kinabalu’s nightlife is slowly but surely increasing in both number of options and level of quality. Thus, a night out in Sabah is getting better with every new establishment that brings something fresh to the scene.

Nightlife in Kota Kinabalu include quiet and sedate for those craving a chat and a drink, or live bands and rocking Djs if you’re a shut-up-and-dance kind of partier. How about a classy establishment if you like to be seen or minimal décor if you’re looking for a cheaper drink?

To help you navigate KK’s maze of nightlife, watering holes, pubs and clubs, Sabahbah.com is fleshing out the list below featuring what’s important on your night out: where, when and how much. Click on the table headings to sort the info accordingly.
