Lucifer leads this list, then Club Insomnia, with Candy Shop, Republic and 808 close behind. Each venue's hours come from its Google listing.
Walking Street is the center of it.

The two big ladyboy cabarets, Alcazar and Tiffany's, are on Second Road in the early evening, and the Hilton's Horizon rooftop is the sunset drink before any of it.
Clubs here start late. Most open at 21:00 or 22:00 and don't fill until after midnight, then run to 03:00–05:00.
