It’s a real struggle to find a decently-priced spot to hang out and party with friends. Why is everything so expensive, lah?!
Often times, most of us just want to let loose and party on a girls’ night out without having a mini-heart attack over the bill. Well, luckily there’s ladies night for that! Check out some of the best bars and clubs to visit for those looking to party on a budget:
