Stuck wondering where/what all the expatriate clubs are in Dhaka? here’s a quick list with phone numbers to get you going.
Each of the foreign clubs requires club membership, which can be something of a nuisance to pick up depending on your nationality or your connections. Otherwise, knowing a few other friendly foreigners will help you out as most members can sign in guests. Once you’re in, you purchase cash coupons to pay for your drinks. Most of the city’s social life revolves around these clubs, which many people use to ‘escape’ the reality of Bangladesh. The never-ending circuit of parties and drinks does mean you’ll often meet people who, despite
having lived in Bangladesh for several months, have yet to leave Dhaka.
