Yangon, though is the biggest city in Myanmar, still lack of nightlife activities.Compare to many metropolitan cities in Asia, night is pretty calm and boring here. There are few bars and night clubs opening later than 21.00 pm. Only some restaurants open until midnight due to government restrictions.
