Global Nightlife Search

Find bars, clubs, karaoke venues, massage spas, lounges, and nightlife businesses worldwide by city.

• Search nightlife venues across one city or many cities
• Choose venue types from a simple form: bars, clubs, karaoke, KTV, live music, massage, spa, casino, and lounge
• Get names, categories, addresses, phones, websites, ratings, reviews, hours, and coordinates
• Include review text for venue quality checks, with reviewer personal details anonymized by default
• Keep adult-oriented nightlife categories off by default unless you explicitly opt in and confirm you are 18+ and local rules allow it
• Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, or your CRM
• Simple pricing: $0.005 per Actor start and $0.001 per result, reviews included

If you have been checking city nightlife venues one by one, this Actor turns that manual work into a clean venue dataset you can use for lead lists, market research, expansion planning, or review monitoring.

Examples

Small ready-to-edit inputs are in:

• ./examples/one-city-nightlife/README.md
• ./examples/multi-city-comparison/README.md
• ./examples/review-monitoring/README.md

What You Can Do With It

1. Build a nightlife venue list for one city

Use this when you need a practical list of bars, clubs, lounges, and related venues in a city.

You fill in a few fields in the Apify input form:

What	Example
Cities	Makati, Philippines
Venue categories	Bars and pubs, Nightclubs, Lounges
Max venues per city	20
Include reviews?	Yes
Reviews per venue	3

Click Start. The Actor searches public map results, removes duplicates, adds contact fields, and gives you a clean table:

Venue	Type	Phone	Website	Rating	Reviews	Address
Sample Cocktail Bar	Cocktail bar	+63 ...	example.com	4.5	312	Makati, Metro Manila
Sample Lounge	Lounge	+63 ...	example.com	4.3	188	Makati, Metro Manila

Download the result as Excel or CSV, or send it to a spreadsheet or CRM through Apify integrations.

2. Compare the same venue categories across many cities

Use this when you want to compare nightlife density or build city-by-city market lists.

What	Example
Cities	Manila, Philippines, Bangkok, Thailand, Singapore, Tokyo, Japan
Venue categories	Bars and pubs, Karaoke / KTV, Massage and spa
Coverage	Standard
Max venues per city	100

The output keeps the source city and venue group on every row:

City	Venue group	Venue	Rating	Reviews	Contactable
Manila	Karaoke / KTV	Sample KTV	4.2	96	Yes
Bangkok	Massage and spa	Sample Spa	4.6	421	Yes
Tokyo	Bars and pubs	Sample Pub	4.4	209	Yes

This makes it easy to filter by city, venue type, contactability, rating, or review count.

3. Find karaoke, KTV, and live music venues

Nightlife is not just bars and clubs. This Actor can search KTV, karaoke bars, live music venues, jazz bars, and performance venues.

What	Example
Cities	Quezon City, Philippines
Venue categories	Karaoke / KTV, Live music venues
Include reviews?	Yes
Reviews per venue	5

Reviews help you understand whether a place is active, what the atmosphere is like, and whether recent customers mention music, service, crowd, or pricing.

Reviewer personal information is anonymized by default:

Venue	Rating	Review date	Review text	Reviewer
Sample KTV	5	2 weeks ago	Good sound system and private rooms.	Reviewer 1
Sample Music Bar	4	1 month ago	Great live band, crowded on weekends.	Reviewer 2

The Actor keeps useful review content but does not output reviewer avatar URLs, profile links, or full profile identity by default.

4. Collect massage, spa, sauna, and wellness venues

Use this for public venue discovery around massage, spa, sauna, and wellness categories.

What	Example
Cities	Bangkok, Thailand
Venue categories	Massage and spa
Minimum rating	4.0
Minimum reviews	20
Require phone?	Yes

The result is a venue list ready for spreadsheet filtering:

Venue	Category	Phone	Website	Rating	Reviews	Open now
Sample Thai Massage	Massage spa	+66 ...	example.com	4.7	812	Yes
Sample Wellness Spa	Spa	+66 ...	example.com	4.5	247	Yes

For broad city coverage, use Standard mode first. Use Deep mode only when you need wider coverage and are comfortable with longer runs.

5. Monitor reviews and recent venue activity

Use this when you care about venue quality, recent customer sentiment, or competitor monitoring.

What	Example
Cities	Las Vegas, Nevada
Venue categories	Bars and pubs, Nightclubs
Include reviews?	Yes
Reviews per venue	5
Schedule	Weekly or monthly

Each run gives a fresh snapshot:

Venue	Rating	Recent reviews	Monitoring flags	Sample review
Sample Club	4.1	Yes	recent_review_activity	Long line but good music.
Sample Bar	3.7	Yes	low_rating, recent_review_activity	Service was slow on Friday.

You can run it on a schedule and compare results in Google Sheets, Airtable, Make, Zapier, n8n, or your own database.

6. Adult-oriented nightlife categories

Adult-oriented nightlife search is available, but it is not enabled by default.

To use adult-oriented categories, you must turn on both settings:

Setting	Default	What it means
Include adult-oriented venues	Off	Adds adult-oriented nightlife search terms
18+ and local-rules confirmation	Off	Confirms you are 18+ and allowed to search this category under the local rules that apply to you

If you do not turn both on, the Actor skips adult-oriented searches.

This keeps normal nightlife searches clean. A user looking for bars, clubs, karaoke, massage, spa, lounges, and similar venues will not receive adult-oriented results unless they deliberately enable that category.

This Actor is not designed for illegal activity or evading local rules. Use it only for lawful public venue research.

How To Use

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Enter one or more cities.
3. Select venue categories.
4. Choose Quick, Standard, or Deep coverage.
5. Decide whether to include reviews.
6. Keep reviewer anonymization on unless you have a clear lawful reason to handle reviewer identity fields.
7. Click Start.
8. Download the results as Excel, CSV, or JSON.

You do not need to write code. The form is enough for normal use.

Developers can still call the Actor through API, Make, Zapier, n8n, or MCP.

What You Get Back

Review output keeps useful content and removes unnecessary personal identity fields by default.

Default review fields:

Review rating	Star rating
Review text	The written review content
Relative date	Example: 2 weeks ago
Language	Review language when available

Data Source

Global Nightlife Search is based on public Google Maps place results. It is packaged as a nightlife-focused search workflow and is not an official Google product.

Pricing

Same pricing as the existing Google Maps Scraper:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.005
Result	$0.001 per venue

Reviews are included in the venue result price.

Example:

Run	Approximate cost
20 venues	$0.025
100 venues	$0.105
500 venues	$0.505
1,000 venues	$1.005

Leave proxyCountry empty unless you specifically need residential proxy routing. Normal runs use no proxy by default because proxy routing can slow down or block Google Maps navigation.

Actual Apify platform usage can vary by run size, coverage mode, proxy use, and review depth.

When To Use A General Map Search Instead

Use a general map scraper if you only need one custom search like:

• dentists in Chicago
• hotels near Central Park
• restaurants in Shibuya Tokyo
• plumbers in Denver

Use Global Nightlife Search when you want a guided form for nightlife categories, multi-city searches, venue groups, review context, and adult-oriented categories that stay off unless explicitly enabled.
