The harbour in St-Gilles and the town itself are full of bars, whilst most of the nightclubs and the casino are in L’Hermitage. The downside of nightclubbing in Réunion is that it will dent your wallet severely. In the St-Gilles-les-Bains area you can expect to pay in the region of €12–14 for entry and, on top of that, drinks are expensive. Some clubs are open only on weekends, some only on a Saturday night, but many also have a themed night on Wednesday. They tend to get going at around midnight and are open until about 05.00. Most play a mixture of music, but being St-Gilles there is less local music (séga, zouk, etc) than in St-Pierre, for example. Most clubs won’t let you in wearing trainers or flip-flops.

There are various free publications, available in tourist offices, which will tell you what is going on, where and when in terms of nightlife
