A
Honky Tonk Haven
A great new addition to the Melaka drinking scene, this music bar is run by Kiwi jazz pianist Joe 'Itchy Fingers' Webster and his singing wife Jill. Jazz memorabilia photos line the walls and spontaneous sessions of live music are performed by Joe, Jill and their collection of talented friends. It's a place to make fast friends, grab a quick meal (including real New Zealand-style burgers, and all-day breakfasts) and find out how funky you really are.

Geographér Café
This ventilated, breezy bar with outside seating and late hours, in a prewar corner shophouse, is a godsend. A tasty choice of local and Western dishes (meals around RM8) and laid-back, but professional, service round it all off.

C
Voyager Travellers Lounge
It'll draw you in with promises of free internet and its 21:30 Wednesday movie nights, but you'll keep coming back to this place for the mellow and surprisingly local vibe. Ease back into a wicker chair and order a cold beer from the glowing bar built out of recycled bottles. The young owner can help arrange activities throughout Melaka.

Friends Café
Buzzing with everyone from businessmen to young and hip locals, this convivial spot serves espresso drinks in the day and becomes a lively bar at night. It's a hard-to-miss spot right where Jln Melaka Raya 3 meets Jln Taman Melaka Raya. There are light meals like sandwiches and tom yam and the whole place is a wi-fi zone.

Sound & Light Show
Held outside the Dataran Pahlawan shopping mall, shows happen only when there’s enough demand, and even then they may not be in English. Melaka’s history is presented from a strongly nationalistic angle; nevertheless, it’s quite good theatre.

E
Discovery Café
The staff take things at a serious stroll and the food is mediocre, but the location near the Melaka River, the late hours and the outside seating maintain a somewhat shaky allure. Stop by if you're looking for a tour guide.

Arena
At the foot of the jetty in front of the Holiday Inn, this glass-walled night spot has a big stage for live bands and a hopping bar.

Cheng Ho Tea House
In an exquisite setting that resembles a Chinese temple garden courtyard, relax here over a pot of fine Chinese tea (from RM15).

Pure Bar
Popular with locals, this has become Melaka’s most fun nightclub/bar. It’s also gay friendly.
