Licensing laws are not strict, and some places sell alcohol 24 hours a day, while others close in the early hours in the morning, meaning that party nights only tend to finish when you are completely exhausted.
Bars and clubs tend to be fairly relaxed, and the emphasis is on having a good time rather than conforming to expected attitudes and behaviour, and as a rule there are no dress codes, but you should avoid wearing black jeans and leather, as these are associated with gangs, and frowned upon by many door staff.
