Maidstone offers a few distinct areas for nightlife, suiting different preferences.

The town centre, particularly around Bank Street and Gabriel's Hill, is the main area for late-night venues. You'll find a concentration of bars, pubs, and nightclubs here that stay open into the early hours. It's a busy spot, especially on weekends, with options ranging from venues playing chart music to those offering more specialised DJ sets.

Earl Street also has a selection of establishments. These tend to be a mix of traditional pubs and modern bars, some of which offer live music on certain nights. It's a good street for pub crawling or finding a more relaxed setting than the more energetic clubs.

As another option, areas near the River Medway, such as the riverside walk, have a few pubs and bars with outdoor seating. These are pleasant for a drink in the evening, often with views of the river, and tend to be less focused on loud music or dancing.
