Malibu is not known for its nightlife scene. Most people think that Malibu rolls up the sidewalks and calls it quits before 9PM. Although this may have been true in the past it no longer remains the case. If you know where to look there are a few places where you can find a little bit of after-hours fun. We decided to compile a list of these places and share it with you, our audience. Enjoy!

Cafe Habana
Every Wednesday evening Cafe Habana hosts its always fun Karaoke Night with DJ Gold Dust. Beginning at 9pm, Cafe Habana invites all 21+ to join them in a night of karaoke, dancing, drinking, and fun. These Wednesday night events always turn a big crowd and the party usually keeps going until about 1am-2am, depending on the crowd. During the summer, these nights produce an especially large crowd, making for maybe the most lively after hours event in all of Malibu. Cafe Habana is also a good place to grab drinks with friends from Thursday to Sunday as they typically will stay open so long as there is a crowd.
Casa Escobar
Known to many as “The Old Malibu Inn,” Casa Escobar is the best place in Malibu for live entertainment. On any given weekend they play host to great live musical acts that have included artists such as Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Shwayze and Lenny Goldsmith.
