Yes, I've been there. I've been to UB and partied there with people I know who are working there. If you know the right people it's a crazy scene, a lot like the Wild West. I was there for Naadaam (their summer festival) in 2011. One of my friends there knows some of the wealthy Mongolian families and we got to hang out in their gers (a ger is a tent) while their horses were running in the horse races.

They make you drink this nasty as fuck fermented mare's milk and then chase it down with vodka. It's considered impolite if you don't drink the mare's milk, but damn that shit coats your stomach. I was able to put down 11 shots of vodka during the day and still party that evening.

The beautiful stuff is out in the countryside. UB has some solid Western restaurants and some decent expat bars (17th floor, for instance), but as a white dood you're a target for Mongolians who want to kick your ass. They're the real-life version of the Dothraki in many ways.

Unless you have friends in UB who can show you around properly, I recommend getting out into the countryside as soon as you can. UB is one of my least favorite cities on earth, even though it's an interesting place to spend 36 hours.

Also be careful. As a white dood, you will stand out and you will expose yourself to attacks. I know more than one white dood who has gotten drunk at bars and looked a certain way at the Mongolian women (who are fine as shit), and then gotten their asses kicked by Mongolian men. They will fuck you up. They're ethnically Asian, but more Russian in temperament and culture.

In terms of other bars, Sky Lounge (on the 17th floor of one of the big buildings) is a pretty solid expat scene: http://www.mad-mongolia.com/ulaanbaatar-city-guide/sky-lounge-7725/

Here are some other restaurants that I've heard good things about from people who live there:

I will see if any bros have Mongolian friends who can hook it up. Mongolian women are hot? That is not something I would have expected. Bros want to throw down even at nice bars (assuming there are any nice bars in UB)?

Also, is the Kempinski the best choice?

There are nice bars in UB. Go to the 17th floor sky lounge. There's a fucking Ferragamo and Louis Vuitton in UB. You have to keep in mind that there is a small handful of Mongolian billionaire gangsters as well as wealthy mining company execs (think Rio Tinto) and other expats (mainly bankers and lawyers connected with the mining trade) who want to have access to things of a certain standard. You won't get NYC or London quality meals in UB, but you can get a passable 5* meal for like US$50.

And yes, bros will want to get in fights even at nicer bars, or at least as you're leaving those nicer bars. You're a white dood in their country and they'll get massively territorial. Stay away from the beer hall type of bars and stick to the posher places and you should be fine, but keep your wits about you especially when roaming the street.

Yes, kempinski is the best choice, but that's like saying which turd is the most finely polished.

And if you can use your international man of mystery pull to get my good friend out of the country, please do so ASAP: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/breaking/15184236/fears-for-aussie-lawyer-trapped-in-mongolia/

It is, but please do watch out for your safety. The last time I was there I had bodyguards on me (friends got them for me because I was Western and because of who I was hanging out with).

I've traveled to many random places around the world for both leisure tourism as well as visiting friends (not a wealthy master man like you, just a normal middle class bro who likes adventure and prioritizes that shit). Mongolia is the only place that has given me culture shock in my adult life.

Hiring a car from the hotel and going to/from the car and nice bars when out at night should be fine no? I mean it really is like 36 hours, shouldn't be enough time to really get into trouble...and i'll look for friends of friends who are local Mongol mastermen of course.

I figured as much. I meant like a car/driver arranged by the hotel to stay with me for the eve. I have to check the dates, it might not even be over worthwhile drinking nights. I am of course assuming that there isn't much of a midweek boozing scene in UB. It's also going to be cold as fuck, since it will be in Feb.

You'd be surprised re: midweek boozing scene. Mongolia attracts the swarthiest and saltiest of the expats and a lot of business takes place around several bottles of vodka on a weeknight where people don't talk about business at all.

A car/driver arranged by the hotel will suffice.

Maybe, but I have two friends living there right now and know several more friends who are there regularly enough such that they either have apartments there or might as well be considered living there. All of them say the same thing about their time spent in Mongolia.

Of course if all I knew were backpackers who shuffled through the hostels as opposed to actual expats who live there or do a substantial amount of business there, I'd have a different perspective.

All that said, you're 100 percent spot on in that you really won't see this side of Mongolia unless you have the right network. You still might get beat up though.

It is, although since you're going in February I'm almost tempted to tell you to bag the idea and hit up somewhere like Yangon instead (if you do, go to Acacia restaurant - one of the best meals I've had in Asia). Burma is a Buddhist country so people are generally peaceful to random tourists and you won't get your ass beat there.

Hit up Acacia. Seriously

http://www.acaciateasalon.com/

One of my buddies who lives in Yangon (he's an American white dood who's been an expat in Asia for the past 20 years or so and one of the people I partied with while in Mongolia) highly recommended this place the last time I was there. I went to Burma with a few friends who are very particular about their food and also travel like girls, and they loved it. It was one of the best meals I've had in Asia, especially considering the value. Western food.

There's also some solid Thai food in Yangon, but you really want to try Acacia.

Yangon shuts down at 9 PM (rolling blackouts and curfew I think) so there isn't much in the way of nightlife, unlike Mongolia.

Unlike the gold rushes of the past ¨C with their brawling saloons, boom towns that turn to ruin, and outlaws jousting for turf ¨C in Mongolia it¡¯s private equity houses and global investors who are playing the role of prospector. In the taverns of Ulan Bator, bankers are hunched over their beers discussing who is a spiv and who isn¡¯t. The other popular conversation is who has been beaten up recently ¨C in the literal sense. One banker relates getting robbed at knifepoint in front of his house by a man who jumped out of a manhole cover.

It's just there culture. If all your ancestors rode horses and shot arrows and rolled up Baghdadis in carpets before stomping them to death, and all the boys grow up hearing those stories about that's what's expected of men, then you get aggressive and xenophobic people.

Go the army camp a few hours out of town. For $90 per shot you can shoot an RPG at a wrecked car parked along the slope of a hill.

And if you really want to burn money there, get in a tank and drive around. They charge by the kilometer.

Did not read all the responses. UB is a shithole but there are some interesting sights. I've never been to UB but the countryside which you'll probably have little time to explore. Mongolians are a rowdy bunch, like another poaster mentioned, real life Dothraki. Just eat well (food is meaty), keep your nose clean, and stay out of trouble in UB. I wouldn't recommend trying to get too adventurous as some Mongols definitely wouldn't hesitate to pull a jack-move on some fruffy white-boy.
