As its name implies, this venue is quite rightly suited for those who stay up all night. It practically never sleeps and you’ll love the fact that the happy hour lasts from 11am to 9pm. Serving food in the day, it turns into a live music bar at night and appears to be very popular with the expatriate crowd. And that’s probably thanks to the regular house bands (there are currently two, Chill Factor and Batteries Not Included, otherwise known as BNI) that crank up the entertainment factor by churning out contemporary and rock music. Lest you get bored of hearing the same stuff, Insomnia changes the bands every three months or so, so don’t get too attached. And if you belong to the ‘fly the friendly skies’ pack, there’s a bonus: you automatically get 30 per cent off food and drink.

Insomnia was featured in our recent Morning Glory - Best Western Breakfasts feature.
